Well...on Thursday I drove the '04 GTO...the one on the cover of Motor Trend. Can we all say ssswwweeeeettt! I took it down my normal test road thru some Sss and down a straight. The car felt so good I went back in the other direction at about 90 MPH and the car felt incredibly attached to the road. I have driven this same road in a very well set up '99 T/A and the GTO out performs the T/A without question.
The feel is extremely solid and the acceleration is quick. I was on the rev limiter quicker than all get out!
This is a "pilot" car that has been in the hands of many and to that the clutch is not in the best shape. With the t/c off I was able to easily smoke the hides while launching the car at about 1500 RPM.
Like I said, the car RPMs quick so you better be ready with your right hand to move the gears!
I want one!
