Twin Turbo GTO pics

**webby** · 06-20-2005, 10:09 AM

this has big potential....

I guess right now he is at 5psi and put down 500 rwhp/ 500 rwtq . He's planning on pushing the boost up as soon as he gets some more parts.

**2fast4u2** · 06-20-2005, 02:02 PM

WOW! I wouldn't want to race him!

99V8SHO · 06-22-2005, 07:35 PM

I'll take two. :)

***C2i0v0i1c*** · 06-22-2005, 07:37 PM

make it three

SiRyan · 11-21-2006, 02:44 AM

He'll need way wider tires than those.

Tiznonay · 11-21-2006, 03:00 AM

yeah, that'll probably be pretty quick there. Those look like some big ass turbos!

sheek360 · 11-21-2006, 06:04 AM

wow, nice!

I just found a reason to love that car even more. What year is it? '05? The '05s had 400hp and 400lbs torque at the crank. Please let us know when he ups the boost on it.

Dammit, thats the only domestic car in 5 years that I wanted to buy.

Zesti1 · 11-21-2006, 07:46 AM

Now that is sweet! Too bad us Canadians dont get the GTO......

SIcBoy · 11-21-2006, 08:00 AM

SIcBoy · 11-21-2006, 08:01 AM

That's one of the first and second year cars judging by the exhaust. It was a true dual exhaust but the two pipes ended up meeting side by side over on the left and looked like one. Didn't really help the "i look like my grandfather's Oldsmobile Alero" look. But they had about 350 at the crank for those years. It wasn't until I think '04 or '05 when they split the exhaust tips to both sides of the car, added the hood scoops and kicked the power up to 400ish.

Sick car nonetheless, I wanted one. Came out not long after my dad but his last year model '02 Trans Am WS6

I kind of liked them from day one although I never really considered buying one. But have to correct you on this atruhondagrl; although a Pontiac, it's not anywhere near domestic. It's an Aussie. From the GM line of Australian car company Holden. They're imported then tuned up to US specs. And because I don't think they are supported enough here (parts and service wise), I never considered buying one. This one is definitely a runner however.

Oh I raced him the other day beat him by 2 1/2 cars... easy win it was a drivers race..

KingMarineM16a4 · 11-21-2006, 10:50 AM

Not worth the money but I do have to say two words. MOTOR TREND.

Civic SI 06 · 11-21-2006, 11:52 AM

That is sweet, it sucks in Canada we dont get one, Europe does, well kinda, they call it the Vuxhall Moenara. Basically the same car. I would like thta car with those turbos. Its nice.

Fixer · 11-21-2006, 12:24 PM

Monaro, Moenara......man, who comes up with car model names? It's like they get a bunch of chimps drunk and let them throw darts at a board with the alphabet. LOL But I suppose once a car's name becomes part of the country's culture, then it doesn't seem strange. Malibu, Taurus, whatever. Guess that's also why many models just incorporate numbers or random letters now. 300Z, XLR, WRX, A8, 911. GTO certainly stirs more emotions than Moenara in this case.

**Nomar06** · 11-21-2006, 12:54 PM

I think the GTO can now be called "The Goat" once again.

Yeah i know what u mean, The Vuxhall Monaro comes from Australia, which is weird because it is a GM owned company, and its the exact same car as the GTO. But i guess we dont have the Ford fiesta anymore, but Europe does, and there models in Europe are much difffernt. The funny thing is the Monaro was the base for the new GTO that we have today, they have been making the monaro since 2001, and the Gto came out a couple years ago. fun stuff.
