    Car was running fine but the rachet shifter is giving out resulting in a missed shifts into second every run. best run of night was a 13.4:rolleyes: I won every race except one.(if my car was hitting it's numbers it would have been a dead even race as he ran a 12.90) I did race a new gto, lets just say I wasn't impressed. (y) Car needs a tune up and I need to jet up a couple sizes. Im just to lazy....

    There was a new GTO at a cruise-in I went to tonite. I am a major Pontiac fan and have been all my life. The car lacks any design that says,, drive me! Boring is what it will say on its tombstone.

    I dunno, I kinda like the GTO. 4 seats, 30mpg and 300+ hp, sounds nice to a family man that wants a hotrod... problem being the price... I gots no money.

    I think it looks like all the other jelly bean cars out there except with different protrusions. Thats why the new Mustang looks so cool. They finally got away from the jelly bean look.
