<snip from another forum> "The wreck happened today at the Houston Cars & Coffee car gathering. It was the first day at the new location, and the organizers asked everyone to avoid acting stupid or peeling out, since they have been kicked out of the last two locations for asshats like this doing so. Well, GTO kid decided to show his ass and spin the tires while turning, and lost control. Way to go champ! Try to ruin it for everyone! "        |

Quoted: i love how the GTO gets so much shit for how it LOOKS why don't yall go drive one and then get back to me on how bad a factory 400HP 6sp RWD sucks  +1 besides the old school GTOs may look badass now, but when they came out they pretty much looked like all the other cars on the market. |

Was that an NSX that drove by just before the wrecker pulled off? Yeah, the "The Judge" decals are teh suxors, and I am not a fan of that car as a GTO, a LeMans or Tempest maybe, but not a GTO, and certainly not a Judge. While not a GM fan at all, that car has as much power, better suspension, better brakes, better fuel system, better engine management, better everything than an original GTO. |

Not a big fan of it being called a GTO. But go ahead, read into it what you want. |

I dont care much for the looks but I do think they are a hell of a fun ride |

The Coffee & Cars organizers stress in almost every communication that they don't want people doing burnouts, revving their engines or general stupid shit. This kid got what he deserved. On the Facebook page, everyone is laughing at him. We've had to change locations several times over the last few months in part due to people just like this kid. It needs to stop. |

thats not a gto its a grand prix. No, a GP is a front drive 6 cylinder available only with an automatic. At least the last ones offered before the Pontiac brand went away. You fail. I was describing what a GP is, didn't say shit about the GTO, but if given a choice, I would take the latest GTO, the Holden, over that thing any day. |

I can get that from a good selection of manufacturers. Knowing that, why would I get one that I dont care for the styling of? |
