GTO or Monaro

[blown_engine]

haha, it's exactly the same hood, the hood on the Monaro is made because the Yanks wanted a more Pontiac look.... so all models got the double scoop hood.

GTO

Monaro

this isnt the exact same hood :/

Sorry man, but GTO and Monaro share the same hood.

The photo of the GTO you posted is a tuned one.

Here is one photo with a stock GTO.

Im still goin for the GTO, I just dont like the Monaro, dagon proved me wrong sorry about the discussion I made.

i'm gonna go with the Monaro why? well i don't know.....but as long as the car performs good and is fast. that's all i need

It's the same body, just different engine etc.

I could care less which one though, but if I had a choice, the Pontiac version

Also, the Monaro (like most 70's Holdens) is . . . built incredibly strong.

Not that strong mate. Like most 70's cars, the chassis does not have much torsional rigidity.

If you put on some sticky tyres and drive around a corner fast enough, the chassis will twist enough to crack the windscreen.

Holden Monaro all the way, it's cheaper and has the same specs.

I'm getting tired of all this GTO trashing. The GTO was used on the Holden or Vauxhaul, or HSV GTS, whatever version I don't care, the Monaro platform was used, so GM wouldn't have to spend so much damn money, developing a whole new car. They took a good existing platform, changed the look of the exterior a lil' bit. Plunked in the same 5.7 L V8 in 03' then the 6.0 L V8 for 04 to 06. It was to save money. Christ! Also, the GTO here is pretty damn fast with the same performance specs. Also the double scoop hood deal. Just to make it the Monaro look like a GTO. WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ram air stupids. Apply it to one car, apply it to all on the same platform. Uggh. Plus the Monaro has a higher pitched exhaust in Most Wanted. I choose the GTO ingame.

They're the same CAR!

Just different outsides because American's prefer more aggressive styling.

Where as Australians still prefer that Sedan look.

Either way, the car is based off a Sedan, and basically lost 2 doors.

IT IS NOT A SPORTS CAR.

Its got the handling of a boat, (not the American one, their suspension is stiffer suprisingly).

Its too expensive for something that's too heavy and can't do 0-60mph or for us Australians 0-100kph in less than 5seconds.
