I don't know about you, but those hood scoops are "pontiac" enough for me.
 
Does pontiacs have scoops?

I thought it was a bulge.
 
The VZ Monaro, which comes out in October, with 290KW gets those hood scoops.:D

Also, I read this in my MOTOR mag.

GM has unveiled a 500-horse Pontiac GTO (nee Monaro). Done by a volunteer grogram, the Big Billy Goat Gruff has a 6.3-litre version of the LS2 V8, we suspect with a blower, making around 375kW at 5200rpm and a crunching 68Nm of torque.:eek:

It also has the picture up there^ and it says "Would you like 500hp with that?"
 
Meh....I am sure it a great car to drive, with 400 horses on tap , but it just looks...meh.
 
eww... they take a nice car like the monaro and make it look horrible.....

[sarcasm]Nice, but you don't think it's more likely that it has 680Nm? Since 68Nm is a bit weak, compared to the VW Polo 1.4 FSI, which has 130Nm from a 80bhp engine.[/sarcasm]
 
Its needs a cowl, not hood scoops. Or, this custom-fabbed scoop looks better to me:

This one is alright:

I kinda like it...is that going to go into production?
They said its unlikely but hey who knows? Umm again talking about the car its a bit ok but mostly I dont like it it looks like a 05 mustang all "hooked up" by a 16-18 year old kid if you know what I mean.
 
This's what the GTO should look like (save for the side vents):

wide body GTO....the ONLY GTO i've seen so far that I liked......kudoz.

I hope it is.. the new scoops remind me of the ram air trans ams and grand ams, but that car is sweet 👍 Looks like it has taken a few cues from the factory-backed GTO running in D1, including the wheels and lip spoiler.
