Pontiac GTO Freshening

[Jesda]

2005 Pontiac GTO Judge. I like it! Its not official yet.



And here's someone's Photoshop work:

[freakonaleash1187]

it looks pretty good except the exhaust tips (hate how they point down like that) and the side intakes.

[Axel Grungy]

yeah looks pretty sweet. looks more like an import now

[QShip]

I like it.

[rousie13]

I really like.....now thats one domestic i would definately buy.

[rydwhite]

Ryan likey.

[BadMojo]

I like it. It's aggressive without being overly gaudy. I like the exhaust, like the nostrils, and I'm even OK with the side vents.

[NY94J30]

Why have an open rear valance and then run the exhaust out the sides?

Other than that Id like to see a side by side with a real Judge

[UncleBen]

I love it. I love the stock GTO's, and this one is that much better.

I need to convince my dad to sell the z28 and buy one of those.....

[Project240]

Does anyone besides me see Cavalier in the rear end??

[Anand]

I like the current GTO and I love this one!

[rousie13]

Looking at it more, the exhaust definately needs to be a dual(either single tips or dual tips) coming out of the rear valence. Thats a huge arse hole that would be perfect for the exhaust and make it look meaner.

[gabossie]

I guess I'll be the first to say, I'm not that fond of it. I dunno, just looks like a "riced" out GTO. The photoshoped one def looks better to me.

[gabossie]

The only two things that I really don't like about it are the rear fenders are just to bubbly and the front facia a little two bland I think. I dunno, there's just something about those two parts that I don't like.

[Mr1der]

yeah, I gotta agree that the exhaust looks dopey...

it's got too much butt to not have a hole...

I'll be glad for a restyling....

I think they could incorporate the cool twin stacked headlights and big grill of the old Goats and have a really cool car on their hands. And more engine options. Perhaps the 427 CI version they've got in Roo Land. Who cares if CA can't have it

[Altiman94]

I like that. Believe it or not, I also love the exhaust.

[rousie13]

Hood scoops that are actually functional...I like it.

[BadMojo]

Hood scoops that are actually functional...I like it.

Yeah, can you imagine such a thing?

I really do hope the '05 GTO Judge comes out and looks something like the photos posted above. Other than it's weight problem (hey, it's not fat...it's big-boned), I reallly like the GTO.

The Solstice looks cool too. Is Pontiac making appealing cars again one of the signs of the apocalypse?

[crzycav86]

Does anyone besides me see Cavalier in the rear end??

I was thinking the exact same thing. The rear end is reminiscent of the 03-04 cavaliers. What i dislike about the GTO is that the rear quarter panels seem to be too bulky, and it makes the wheels look really small.(much like the cavaliers) It would look a lot better if they made the rear smaller.

[prigo]

I dont like GTO's much, but thats neet.

[Rockenreno]

There's too much happening on the front of the car. The split grill and dual hood scoops just make it looks horribly wrong. Maybe one or the other alone would be ok, but both make it looks really odd.

[Silvia2b]

Yeah but what about the interior where you'd spend most of the time if you owned it? I can't stand the interiors. Exterior is much needed fresh new model for GM though, I kinda like it. Don't think I could drive one though.

[Zydeco]

I hope it comes with twin turbos

[BadMojo]

sTm[-HeavyHips]I hope it comes with twin turbos

Dude...it doesn't need twin turbos. It's got this weird hunk of metal under the hood called an LS1. Really, the plain old GTO has 350hp and 362 lb ft of torque.

It would be awesome if GM would drop the LS2 from the C6 Vette in to the Judge. With it pushing 400hp, I think that would be plenty.

The Judge still wouldn't be stepping on the Vette's toes, since the GTO is going to be many hundred pounds heavier and the Vette is still going to whip its butt in the handling department.

As far as the interior goes...who pays attention to what the dashboard looks like when the scenery is whipping by at 100mph.

I don't drive 100 everywhere I go

[BadMojo]

I don't drive 100 everywhere I go

Ummmm...me neither. In fact, I never drive that fast. That would be illegal and incriminating too. I should sell my 240SX and get a diesel VW Rabbit to make sure I don't drive faster than 55mph under any circumstances (even downhill with a stiff breeze at my back).

Anyway, the interior of a vehicle has never been a "deal breaker" for me. Hell, if I was really in to nice looking interiors I would have never bought a 240SX with upholstery that looks like it belongs on a college professor's jacket.

[Silvia2b]

You must have an S13, with the Tweed, cool. I remember my old 90 SE HB, but the rest of the car was so much nicer in some ways with compared to my S14. it feels more like the other economy cars.

Double stacked lights? You insane boy. That would look like crap. The reason it looks cool on a 65 Goat is because it is all boxy. This car is definatly not boxy.

[Mr1der]

I didn't mean that car....

I meant when they actually redo the car and make it here instead of the current badge job they call a goat...

I don't know about you guys, but I had so much ****in' fun playing with boxes when I was a kid, and I'd like to continue doing so I want some fast boxes.

[krazy skwerel]

buy a flat panal Starion.
