I've heard there's someone in Brisbane that compliance those. There's a shop there that specialises in selling GTOs but I can't remember what they're called.

Yeah I know, its a bit out of my price range as well, I still love my FTO, but I also want it to look different to everyone else, I like a car that is unique, that was the first reason why I got my FTO.

I was thinking of buying one before but one of my mates drives it, he did a bit of mod, put up the boost etc etc but still because it's heavy it's very slow which i sat in it and thought ... way slower then i thought too...

he then bought himself a Supra TT and it's way faster, even his gf with no car knowledge told me GTO are slow compare to Supra :evil:
The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world's problem.

Most of the older ones need a full overhaul now.

Prob the main reasons it was slow was due to the trubos dying out.

They were suppose to do 0-100 in around 5 secs/ 5.5

yeh the old ones are heavier the new ones are lighter. and the engine is more powerfull. i belive. but if u take the 2 stock turbos off and put one big one on there then it will be a monster :twisted: but anyway im going more looks than performance.. everyone has supras, skylines , commonwhores. etc etc fto's now. so gto's are gonna be unique :)

It has all your usual modification(safe) worth $20k over
I can't see any of them, minus the rims interior goodies and the stereo.

Nice looking car though.
