sorry for the big ass pics

pontiac looks better imo
plus its not a ford so im sure it will last alot longer

Mustangs are always my favorite and the 60's models are my all time favs

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

actually i like the looks of the mustang more, but i'm in love with the GTO's engine

I'm not a fan of either, but I'd take the Mustang.

They are both good winter cars or something for a collector to snag and throw in storage.

I've been a Pontiac guy most of my life. The '05 GTO isn't too bad. I wish they made it look like a GTO though. :(

It may be my next purchase. Not sure.

I like the mustangs look

Is it just me, or does that GTO look just like a Grand AM?

Mustangs rule!

Mustangs are always cool. The Pontiac looks too much like a standard Grand Am.

GTO looks like a glorified Grand Prix. It has a nice engine though. Mustang looks better IMHO.

The stang for sure...

No, it looks more liek a Cavalier, sadly enough. :(

The design of the GTO is disappointing. I love how the new Mustang has the old muscle car look...now if only Pontiac would follow suit...

To answer the question, the 'Stang blows the GTO out of the water.

Slap a wing on this Grand Prix and you've got yourself a GTO. Blah.

To be fair, the new Camaro is going to kick both their asses!

Not really but I'm disappointed w/ Pontiac recently.

The even stopped making the GP in coupes.

You really think it's going to look like that? :1orglaugh

This was the GTO concept car by the way...

Here are some more. Why did they even bother? :(

LOL! They came close.

:1orglaugh

No, I wish it did. This was actually the most popular concept, designed by an 18-year-old kid from California. GM will have to tone it down (add some plastic, curves, etc.) before ever letting it out; which sucks. The auto companies need to let designers be artists again IMO.

Here's one of GM's renditions of that kid's design.

By the way, here's the new Judge that may be out next year.

I want to see it in person before I make any decisions.

I talked to a car designer a long time ago, and asked hi m why the concept cars are never made. I asked if it was because of safety issues, and he said sometimes. But it is usually because the company heads think that the people are not ready for those designs yet??

It has been about 10 years since he said that, and I am still scratching my head trying ti figure that out.

I have had many Camaros...that looks fuckin hot...I want

All the concept cars kick ass.

That looks better than the first picture of the GTO in this thread, but by the time they slap some normal wheels and tires on it, it's probably still going to look like just another Grand Am / Grand Prix. They need to ditch that front grill / headlight design.

now thats badass:thumbsup

Definitely an improvement but I'm with evildick...they just need to go back to the drawing board and come up with something original.

I like pontiacs... I have a 2002 turbo'd 400HP grand am.

I test drove a GTO and it's awsome. Lots of power, and can churp the tires in every gear off the line.:thumbsup

I've never been a Ford guy, but if I was buying a ~$30k sports car out of today's offerings it would be the new mustang.

pontiac is shit MUSTANG is the only way to go!!

The Camaro is not going to comeback for a couple of years. That is just a 3D rendering of a kids version of what he thinks the new Camaro should look like. Chevrolet doesn't plan produce the Camaro again anytime soon.

The mustang Rules... that GTO is just some pontiac piece of shit

That's not a GM rendition. That is the early stages of the kid's design.

I agree...But no matter what Detroit puts out, I don't think they'll ever top the Super Sport/Rally Sports.

The Judge will look like that. But you're right. The front end is what the GTO a GTO and they struck out on that w/ the new GTO's. :(

Is that your car or just a pic you found?

The pontiac GTO is a deception as far as looks go, the engine sounds yummy though, especially the 2005 with the 400 HP LS2.

Still looks like shit, even with the hood scoop

:thumbsup :thumbsup

Those hidden headlights would be sweet to bring back.

LOL. I hope you don't mean performance wise.

Sorry, it's just a pic I found. I wish it were my car...what I wouldn't give!!!

I would go with the GTO

Yeah. The Judge's may get up to 450-500 HP too.

I own a 73 LT. I may sell it, though.

Like this one but w/ vinyl top.

If and when I get it, I'll come take you for a ride. :Graucho

Very nice :thumbsup

How much?
