Bob Lutz Of Pontiac...YOUR A FUCKING IDIOT!!
 

Im Sorry but Im fed up with the Morano C7... oops.. i mean GTO :eyes: Its absolute BULLSHIT. I hope GM ing goes bankrupt. The new "GTO" is a ing rip-off of an Australian Car; the Holden/Vauxhall Morano C7/VXR.
Of course because GM is full of a bunch of old timers who dont know what the meaning of a "retro remake" is they just take a car that is considered a HOT ROD in Britain and start making them in Canada, add some body filler slap a GTO emblem on it, drop a 6.0 in it and BOOM.. Ladies and Gentlemen of North America, GM and its qualified associates have come up with this al new never before seen GTO. Anyone feel the same way???

I hope you didn't just figure that out. It has been a well known fact that they were using the holden for the new GTO for well over a year now.

you really gotta catch up with the times kid.

I'm sure we'll here a rant about the 300/magnum/charger being based on an older mercedes e-class chassis sometime next week. Or how the ford modular motors use mercedes architecture from the 80's.

Ive known this for a while. Ive just rented The Last Ride And the GTo was in it and thats when I just got fed up with it. But yes Ive known this for quite a while and there have been other forums about this i just cant find them.

GM Company SUCKS. Even the 93-02 F-body cars were ass ugly, over priced, single exaust and too heavy. Camaros are kids cars, not a gap between a truck and a Vette. GM will go bankrupt. DCX is killing ford and GM as I type this. :appl:

Wow man .. what a bullshit thread.. Your acting as if knowone on here had known about GM using the Holden as the "GTO"s platform.. good attempt on trying to redeem yourself after that pathetic amount of bashing you took on your "Call out" :smilie_au


BTW...........:banplz:

You think I honestly give a ? Im not tryin to Redeem myself. i could careless. Well sorry If i didnt know that everyone knew. Im not on here all the time reading every post So i wouldnt know. But do you have anything to add?

when you figure out next week that the GTO has no significant importance to us, since it is not coming to Canada, perhaps you will simmer down...

btw...

everyone knew
everyone looked forward to it

but same as the evo mitsu it didn't pass bumper regulations...

GM should take a lesson from Chrysler when it comes to retro cars... so far their pathetic attempts have backfired pretty bad...

My god, when is this kid going to learn that GM has money invested into alot of car manufactors. Alot of companies where struggling years ago and would have died off so GM bought parts of companies to help them out. After time, GM would take some of these cars and slap their badges on them. Look at the firefly, same as the Suzuki swifts and so on.Ford does the same thing, and I believe Chrysler does it too. No big deal, now get over it and run along to your mommies apron strings. When you finally get a drivers licience you can come out to play.

Vauxhall is owned by GM. Holden/Vauxhall Morano C7/VXR is a GM. Its their product they can do whatever the they want, but i still think its ing ugly and nothing like the original GTO.

Wow this is one of the dumbest threads ever in the entire TSR/GTASR/TSR boards ever :laugh: Almost all automotible manufacturers have been sharing platforms between models for many decades. Do you really think your Civic and your EL are completely different cars? How is a person getting ripped off? That statement doesn't even make sense to what you are arguing for.

I think the GTO is a decent car, probably one of the better ones pontiac has now. It's RWD and has good power and there is a lot of aftermarket support for those motors. To bad its not available here. Its not as cool as the original but its a decent car. If lutz didnt have the idea then ponitiac wouldnt have any RWD cars now.

At least it can drift.... :sly: :eyes:

oh yea, and Bob Lutz is not "of Pontiac", he's the pimp daddy for all thannggzzz GM :retard:

:hah: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: where do you guys get this stuff :laugh:

Go to google images and search Pontiac GTO, the first ones not that bad, but the best GTO ever is the concept. Its on the same google images page, in the second row. I think its the sickest, evilest looking (stock/factory) car ever. I sure as hell would buy one of those!

I agree its a very nice car, but that split in the grill has to go, but thats just my $0.02 . I think they could have had a better grill but they had to tie it into the other pontiac cars. Plus out of all the pontiac cars I have seen lately this one has one has a nice interior as well. Why would someone say this car is bad? I know its based on a 97 Holden (Monaro?) but it still is a great car. Especially when you consider the last rear wheel drive pontiac was the firebird/trans am cars which were big and bulky and could only fit two people confortably cuz those back seats were so small. Anyways I have to go now cuz there are two girls pillow fighting on WWE Raw, later!

i agree with you on some things.. but watching wrestling at your age.. ....... :smilie_au ... and looking forward to a pillow fight.. wheres your girl at?

Whose the ing idiot here... Bob Lutz, or the kid who thinks Bob Lutz works at "Pontiac"?

I think we should call Handicapped Civic's Mom and tell her that her son needs to take a time out from TSR.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

And, he said that holdens were british,
On the contrary, Holdens are strictly Australian cars
Vauxalls are british, bet your companies straight, idiot.

You know I completely agree with you on the GTO. It fills the gap between the Cobalt SS and the Corvette. I think most car fans were disappointed to see that it would not be brought to Canada.

I was also pretty upset with the integration of the V8 motors into the Grand Prix in a FWD configuration. I believe it should have been converted into a RWD format as I don't think those FWD trannies will take the abuse for long. Besides, RWD cars are more fun.

bwhahahahahaha :laugh:

just to add on to my previous post...
The Trans Am had a WS1 package (think thats what its called) which made it slightly more aggressive, I think they should introduce a "The Judge" package later on sometime. That may make it more attractive to many other people and collectors. Anyone else in agree?

I agree, they can just increase the power of the 3.8 supercharged motor to get the extra power for the car, rather than sticking a v8 in it. If they are going to go to the trouble to fit a 8 cyl in it, then go the whole way and make it awd too, that would be cool.

What can I tell ya? There is not much to watch on a Monday night and I like to look at girls in Lingerie. Hahahahaa.

sounds good. they can cash in on the name just like chrysler with their Hemi. I hope if they do it , that they use a better orange paint than they used on the original.

Dude...your a ham....shut up and let the guy talk...who are you to suggest that he gets banned? :confused:


BTW...GM does suck and needs some serious help to get back into the game.

:stroke: Choke me _HONDA, If I wanted to redeem myself I would have already. Amnd that call out was pure :bs: Cuz who the calls out a 16 yearold who does not have a car. For Those Who Hate me cuz Of Ive said.. Ok I take back all the obviously stupid remarks Ive Said. But u think I give a if u ban me?:sly: And about Bob Lutz If he Works for GM he works for PONTIAC.

This thread has been revived just in time for a perfect new emoticon for it ...

:loser: :loser: :loser:

hahahahahahha :laugh: :ohwell:

At least they are putting that chassis to good use next year with the new awd twin turbo 3.8 liter GNX :hitit: :la:
I might have to sell my rabbit for that.

as far as i'm concerned it has an LS1/LS2, it doesn't attract much heat and the interior is pretty well done.
