much harder to maintain the tt models i hear because of the lack of underbonnet room, so it brings up the cost a bit. prob wanna watch for unmaintained ones too when your buyin....

Chick at my work has a GTO. Certainly would pull a greased stick out of a dogs arse, but its a 91 model & it looks a little dated.

Yeah it sprints from 0-100km/h in around 5.5 seconds........not bad for something that weighs about 1600kg.
You never get a second chance to make a first impression.

I'd love one
Always figured I'd get a GTO when I get bored of my FTO and need something with more power, but now I'm thinking that by the time I am ready to sell my FTO I will be able to afford something so much more expensive anyways.

I drove one just the other day...
Handled like a shopping trolley that had been lowered & on low profiles & the interior looked as pedestrian as a 89 lancer.
Having said that It'd would certainly give most Clubsport drivers a scare.

i really really like the look of them,(verry testa-rossa like) only 2 things scare me about them,
1) i hate pop ups
2) if its not turbo, dont bother, they drive like a whale, and yeah they handle like a very lage shopping trolly. wouldnt mind the engine though.
