I heard automotive press man McElroy elude to the fact that the short supply of the GTO was due to the automotive union worker reps fighting over the numbers of cars GM was having built over seas.

As for waiting for GM to release more HP in years to come...They may do it buy I do not beleive it will be cheap. There is good competition making cars that do 0-60 in 4.6 for around $30,000. Not too long ago they used to make a Camaro but since the Mustang cost less and was able to offer competetive performance it outsold the Camaro. Now where did that leave GM?

Don't get me wrong, I love our GM cars. I just find it harder to defend my loyalty to their product with todays competitive market. Next month Nissan is releasing their full size truck with more standard HP and displacement (I am assuming torque being up too with a 4 cam V8) than their American counterpart. Luckily for the market they have stayed away from the 3/4 tons and bigger tucks.

Off the showroom floor the STI does 12.9 with less than pro drivers.
