That sure as hell ain't true. The GTOs were low 14, sometimes high 13 performer in stock trim. There were quite a few cars that were faster.

GTO=GOT=GOAT

Quote:

GOAT means Gas-Oil-And-Tire burner

Guys back in the day gave nicknames to cars, just like now (cobalt=balt). Its as simple as that. Guys originally said it burned Gas Tires and Oil=GTO. This with that simple word order switch turned to Gas Oil and Tires. Nobody knows who called a GTO a GOAT first, but the credit is given to John DeLorean, as he said it in a hot rod article in 1964 or 1965. It was then used in an advertising campaign that was short lived because the higher ups thought it carried an "irreverent tone."

But it makes perfect sense in my head.

I am the GOAT GURU. If you have a question about GTO's, I probably know the answer.

I spend a whole bunch of time on Ultimategto.com

I thought people called it GOAT because it was short for Greatest Of All Time.

Yep, getting an LS1 GTO Red on Red, with only 28,000 miles. Keeping the same payment, and insurance only goes up $11 a month. Not a bad deal. It has less miles than my cobalt!
