Are Pontiac cars any good? I'm thinking of possibly picking up one of the last gen GTOs.

Just buy a caviler it's the same thing.

>>13895344
GTOs are cool. They are basically just LHD Mondaros. Get the 6.0L if you can.

Fun as heck to drive. NOt particularly unreliable, but I believe they have some tranny issues.

Pontiacs no, The GTO is though because it is a Holden not a Pontiac.
They are basically glorified skid rigs, when they were designed by someone who thought looking out the side window instead of the windscreen is the proper way to go down a road.

also the lowbeam headlight connector will start to melt and burn out bulbs within a week until fixed.
tranny issues but at least that one thing was recalled
junction box failure
>>
>>13895469
They came out in the same year.
Or are you talking about the cv8 Monaro? because that was a Holden before it was a Pontiac.

You are both idiots, the CV8 Monaro came out in 2002 with a 5.7 litre ls1 producing 260kw
In 2003 a HSV GTO producing 285kw was released with the same engine and a new body kit.
in 2005 a new HSV GTO was released with a 6 litre ls2 producing 297 kilowatts.
Pic related is the last model of Monaro produced which was a "VZ HSV GTO Monaro"

>with a 5.7 litre ls1 producing 260kw
iirc the 260kW engine was HSV's base V8 at the time. 2002 The Holden spec V8 was making 220kW with the VT, 225kW with the VX and 235kW with the VY. The CV8 was never released with 260kW.

It soes, there's just a shutline along the crease that makes it look out when viewed from down low.
>>13895745
Also, one more minor nitpick;
>Pic related is the last model of Monaro produced which was a "VZ HSV GTO Monaro"
HSV never used the "Monaro" name. The equivalent HSV badged cars were simply called "HSV Coupe", be it a GTS, GTO or Coupe4.

You are right and wrong, i was thinking of the VZ cv8 Monaro, they are 260 kilowatts.
>http://www.automobile-catalog.com/make/holden/monaro_3gen/monaro_vz/2005.html
>>13895762
Depends on the car i guess, the one on this GTO is straight.
>>
>>13895818
touche. From memory the 260kW VZ was the LS2 in the series 2? I think I also remember the VY series 2 and VZ series 1 Holdens having 245kW for the final iteration of the LS1.

That's just from the back of my head.
