Default 500HP GTO concept at Woodward, I'm liking the looks of this!!

The JUDGE is back!!

389 cubic inches... 500hp/500tq.....









Honestly, the only thing that I don't like about this car is where the exhaust exits... but other than that... holy smokes, this car is hot!

Some p-chops of different colors...



I like all those colors as well.... the black looks a little too flat to me, needs more shine to it... but then again, it is a p-chop

The front is a blatant, complete 3-series rip-off!!
That said, the power of 500hp and 500tq is definitely putting it in a league far above the M3.

I kind of like the front end. The back looks too much like a Mustang to me.

The hp & torque is nice, but the looks of the car does nothing for me.

I personally am very excited about Pontiac doing this. It's about time that more American cars start stepping up to compete in the realms of AMG & M-series power numbers.
Way to go Pontiac!

Extroverted scoops, strakes, etc all over it. It needs a good shave and its a keeper!

I agree about the looks of the car but it is very nice engine work

I believe CCW, like SW has on his 10 sec SC. I like it, and yes it has insane power, but the finesse and refinement that the likes of the M3 and S4 have will probably lacking on this car, unless they do the C6/CTS-V research. Overall, awesome car for an awesome value, but is it going into production or what?
