(OT) GTO was RE: [Shotimes] impala ss

[Clift]

Yeah all the mags have reviewed it, every one seemed to love it.  MT got
a 13.6 in the 1/4 out of it.  The interior is incredible IMO, esp two
toned.  Had no idea Don had already ordered one.  That seems to be the
only problem with it, as they are slow coming from Australia.  If you
want stealth though this may be the year, rumors have it next year's
model gets hood scoops for a more aggressive appearance.  Of course they
also say it gets the 400hp LS2...*evil grin*

I like the GTO concept too. It's a lot like the original SHO, high revs,
high specific output, and stick shift, with class. And not flashy; aka
"stealth" mode. Only these days 240 HP is commonplace, it takes 300+ to
stand out.Since Ford hasn't seen fit to build a respectable replacement
to
my SHO, guess I'll just have to buy one of these, if my SHO ever wears
out.

Anyone see a road test on one yet?
With all that torque and HP it should really move.
