Wow..what kind of rear is that and how will it hold up to 6000 rpm launches . $33k sticker isnt too bad for that car. I can get one from my Moms dealership for probably $27k. That would be good. Hmmmmm GTO or big ass truck?

The only thing i dont like about it is the rear quarter panel and how low it is on the wheels. Better wheels and tire may take car of that.

It looks to be IRS with the either traction control or the ABS stuff on the outside instead of inside the pumpkin. Its interesting that they bolted the rear cover to a crossmember, maybe itll take some abuse?

Its really not a bad "family sports car" The interior looks better than a F-body. It definately need some wheels though and it may have true dual exhaust by the looks of it.

TSP already has one and dynoed it and is doing test mods now

boring styling, but if they sell them for around sticker and not jack them up like all other dealerships like to do, then i would consider buying one next year. shrug. who knows. wheels are terrible

No mark-up/"market parity adjustment" as Discourtesy pontiac used to slap onto WS6's?

I love the sedate looks. Then again, I'm the type that would've bought a new Formula over the T/A anyday.

I thought they would put out power like the 02 Ls1's did but they only got 291/312 out of it? are they over 4k lbs? I always thought they should put the ls1's in the Monte Carlo SS's as an option but they never did
