Well, I was sitting in the driveway stripping the vinyl off my Grand Am and admiring the freshly washed GTO when the wife walked up with the phone. It was a Pontiac Engineer of all people! HE thanked me for purchasing the GTO and pointedly started asking me what I liked and disliked on a list of exterior and interior features. I informed him to lose the lines along the body and smooth the whole body out for an agressive look. I also informed him Pontiac needs to include functional hood scoops with heat extractors and work on the front/rear fascia for a more aggressive stance. He asked about the power plant and stability to which I informed him the LS1 was capable and the stearing/suspension exceeded my expectations. I recommended powering it up for future releases to the LS2 to make a "Judge" to which he replied that was a "very distinct possibility". I also recommended the "C" posts be cut in half to reduced the two rear blind spots and that the rear spoiler be raised 4 to 6 inches above the trunk for visibility. That would also make the spoiler more aggressive. We spoke for about thirty minutes. Has anyone else been contacted? :iceslolan
