I am a fan. I'm actually considering it but not until at least '21. Don't love it enough to pay for the markup as a early adopter and want too see what it really can do after some time in consumers hands. GM isn't exactly a benchmark for quality so there is some risk buying one of the first ones in fall.

Overall, I think they did a great job to entice buyers younger than 60.

Corvette owner here. Like the tech, design not so much. Nose looks a bit like an NSX. Hopefully the General does a wide body Z06 in 2021.

^^ Agree with Nut and Bolt above.

Takes more than acceleration and a mid-engine to be a supercar.

And don't expect it to top out at $100k. The ZR1 will probably be around $150K.

I don't know what Pontiac intention was for the GTO name, but in car circles, GTO stands for Gran Turismo Omolgoto in Italian. Meaning, the car meets certain requirements to be able to race in certain production car racing series (homologation).

I am not aware of the Pontiac GTO being raced in any series back in the 60/70 so not sure what Pontiac intended with the GTO name. Regardless, it is such a badass car.

I bet googling the history of the car would come up with something.

They (Pontiac) raced it back in the days when road racing was popular but Chevy & ford dominated all of those series. Warren Johnson dominated pro/stock with a gto body till he retired, there is a team that run the gto at pikes peak...

It still has a fiberglass body. When will GM learn. It looks good, and it's cheap, but if it has the same crappy build quality of all the previous Vettes, it won't sell well (except for the 65 and older crowd who still buy them for nostalgia).
