The 2004 Pontiac GTO is such a disappointment I don�t know where to start. It is such a common looking car that the only way you would know it was a Pontiac is the grill and there is nothing that would make you think it is a GTO. I am a Pontiac owner and great admirer of the classic GTO�s, but this car does not deserve to drive on the same street as the 2004 Mustang or Corvette. It lacks horse power, looks and most of all, the GTO hood scoop. It is unbelievable that Pontiac made such a pathetic effort in the GTO project.

GET OVER IT FOR GOODNESS SAKE.

Hood scoops does not maketh the car. With modern motor engineering, the 2004 GTO does not need hood scoops. Hood scoops are things from a bygone era. Sleek lines, low coefficient of drag and maximum power and fuel efficient engines is what the 2004 GTO is all about.

I'm a proud owner of a 2004 GTO and I'm just wondering why you people judge this car before you've even driven it? I also have a 700hp big block 67 camaro. I love to cruise the streets with it when I'm back home in the states, but I have my GTO over here in Germany where I'm stationed...
I've done a few mods (brakes, eibach springs, adjustable shocks, headers/loud mouth exhaust, 18" rims w/275/35/18's, programmer, K&N filter kit, 160* thermo. Not much money invested, but there isn't a european car on the Autobahn that can beat me that costs less than $85,000..... I don't see any Mustangs cruising at 168mph!

The GTO/Monaro if you are lucky enough to get one wil show you what you have been missing with all these years of front wheel drive wallowing crap you call cars. This car
looks great handles like shit stuck to your undies and sounds better than most cars for the money.Enjoy what we have been doing for years a big rear wheel drive family car
with a range of vehicles such as the monaro commodore and try a look at the caprice or HSV!! .GMH is owned by GM you know that but we are proud of what it produces.By the way try to see the Fords built here.

Another thing is that the Aussies were one of the few countries that actually loved and emulated the muscle car. That to me is no different than what we have done over there. The only difference is that they kept thier balls while we lost ours. Look what they make now after importing our stuff, now lets buy thiers and have a blast with it. Plus australia is cool as hell and the new GTO is extremely damned fast for the base model! Give it a couple of years and it will be a damned stang slaughtering machine, which I think that it already is!
