You talk tought wonder if you do in person? But anyway after my review of the GTO and the GTS on the website you mentioned, I found that the current Firebird with the ram air option is a faster car, at a more reasonable price! No wonder why none of us closed minded yankee's have heard of it.I am happy that we yankee's are resurecting the GTO, I am sure we will make the nessisary improvments for the car to live up to the name GTO.

you arent too good at maths are you. The aussie HSV GTO has 342 horse power compared to firebird with ram air at 325 HP. The HSV GTS has 402 HP and has been compared to the BMW M5 by british car mag CAR.So the rest of the world knows about it, it must be just Americans who have no idea there is such thing as the rest of the world and get suprised when theres someone making something better out there. It runs mid 13's down the quarter mile which is heaps faster that the firebird. How stupid are you! You pay extra because it has "build quality", that mythical thing american car makers dont know exists.
