I still don't see any grand prix in the GTO asides from the pontiac logos.

Mustang interior is BLAH!

Uhh... a new set of wheels, 17x8's up front with a 40mm offset would move the tire far enough away from the strut.

And i would have petitioned the dealer more to fix the issue, considering it is a widespread problem.

Yeah if you own a GTO you have strut rub. mine was excessive.

wrong answer. i have no strut rub.

like i said 17x8's with a 40mm offset would have given you more than enough room between the tire and strut and would not have involved a mustang

Knock on wood I have had NO major problems with mine. No oil comsuption, strut rub, or anything really for that matter, except a key going bad.

I must insist, for the UMPTHteenth time, that the GTO looks far less like a Grand Prix and far more like a Cavalier on crack. Regardless, the Mustang has a good looking exterior and a proper rear suspension, but that's about it.

I hope you're not talking about me. Seeing as I own and support the f-body community and have owned more vehicles than just about anyone on this forum, not to mention the only Pontiac Pickup I'm aware of (hehehehe). Furthermore, despite what I say, I really like the looks of the SAP GTO. Just wish GM would have built them all that way.

I really don't get where the cavy/sunfire comparison comes from? Grand am/prix? Yes. But not the JBodies.

If you look at it the right way but the car screams Grand Prix and only looks kinda sorta not enough to say it looks like a jbody if you look at it right

The only way it looks like a cavy


AT ALL
