yea i have a feeling i won't be heading to the FI side of things if i mod the engine. my ka-t keeps me happy on the FI side of things. i feel that the goat should remain NA. FI on a goat tho will yield some ridiculous numbers..........numbers which are down right dangerous on normal roads. plus the cost is just way too much lol. everything is bought in pairs and in 8's being its a v8 lol. i guess if i was to go FI though, i would probably be looking at APS stuff though. thanks for the compliment!

That is a beautiful setup you linked to there. I'm still drooling.

I think that was part of it, but the conservative styling of car (excluding the later addition of, uh, nostrils) and Pontiac's image, or lack thereof, was a big part.

When the car hit dealerships, it was lacking a bit in power as you said, and didn't have the retro styling that worked so well for the Mustang (not a bad thing, necessarily). Muscle car freaks who loved the old GTO seemed to be pretty disappointed with the looks of the car at the time, and I think the rest of the public just looked elsewhere for their sporty coupes at the GTO's original sticker.

Very nice car, though. I'd love to have one. I do actually think the car looks better in its Holden "suit", but other than the nose holes the Pontiac certainly isn't a bad looking car.

Now, shouldn't you be working on your mullet?

I wonder how hard it would be to obtain and install a Monaro front body kit?

well the monaro front can be easily ordered through jhp which deals with gettin aussie parts here. the front end conversion would run me at least 2 g's. shipping is what would kill me. im thinking of actually getting those rims but for 3100 bux (rims alone, no tires), i would be getting 19x8's...................

and as for the mullet, can black people have a mullet? lol.

thanks for the compliments
