Default Re: GTO

------Please understand that Im not the biggest fan of the design either.However,I read a story in one of the auto rags that put the design into some perspective.Basicly it stated that GM made a conscious decision not to do a retro design(ie:Thundebird,Beetle,etc.)because the feeling was"where would they go next".In other words the designers paint themselves into a corner as far as the next design down the road is concerned when they do a retro style design.With all this said,it does seem that they at least could have done a hood scoop.Whats a GTO without a hood scoop?????A friend with some connections at GM told me that they may have a scoop in 2005.
------My deposit is already down for one though.My underlying thought is to have the first GTO to go down to Ligenfelters for a serious dose of HP.What do you think?Hopefully Ill be able to get white,as thats my favorite color.Can you spell "sleeper"?.........Bill S......ol red!
