All the rivets look like dumb overkill, and the fender extentions dont match the styling, but thats what they look like on actual race cars.

Otherwise, it is all sorts of crazy hot. I always preferred the horizontal headlights much more than the vertical ones...and call me crazy, but my favorite GTO style is actually the 70-72

Race cars aren't supposed to look good. Some of them just happen to do so by coincidence.

Do not like. Something is wrong with the whole vibe. (to me)

Depends on the class. That GTO is probably in some sort of Australian unlimited class or something like that. Doubtful you'd ever see it in the big name endurance races like Sebring, Daytona or Lemans. It may look ugly but it looks like the craftsmanship is pretty good, at least on the outside.

And it looks like it hauls ass.

Eh, GTOs are still ugly. I prefer the Camaros.

What about that cute little black Yaris on the other side of the fence?

So do half the Hondas in Tampa

Oh, and since the GTO is LHD, I'm thinking that gets more awesome points. I dont need to sit in a RHD car (though I probably should) to think it probably feels dumb. Then again, I bet people in Japan, France, the UK, and Australia think the same thing about us
