I dont see much of a difference really |
Fat? Its a bit portly, sure, but whatever.
Slow? 0-60 if 4.6, deep into the 12's int he 1/4...
Ugly? Your opinion, but its not shared with the majority.
And yes...IRS
None of which why the GTO didnt sell.
GTO sold well, especially compared to its competition and even better when it got teh LS2.
GTO outsold the 04 Cobra and 02 Trans Am. I also belive it outsold your beloved catfish SS cars in 02 as well.
GTO didnt fail. It didnt burn the charts up, but then again it really didnt have the ability. Shipping 12-18k units to the US for ONLY 3 years was the deal. If they sold all 18k units in the first month, for three years, it still would have only been 3 years.
And it did well enough to bring a much better equiped G8 here to the US as well, in 4 flavors. V6, 2 V8's and a truck variant.
