yeah but the ram air 6 concept is exactly that a concept.....it'll never see daylight with gm, they couldn't sell the 04's for 34 grand, u think someone will pay45 grand for a car that'll cost em at least 2000 every six months on insurance...let alone gas prices. the parts on that car are too and i mean TOO COSTLY for it to make production...besides that, it's riced out, i'll stick with my sleeper, they're not gonna go that outrageous with the body05GTO said:Sema Update: Daily dosage of whupass, courtesy of Pontiac

Let this be a lesson to you - it always pays to wait. For those of you who shelled out the dough for the garden variety GTO, this is your cue to slam your fist on your keyboard in disgust. The Ram Air 6 Concept introduced this week at SEMA is what the GTO should have been. Where the standard Goat (dare I use the moniker? ) looked like a mildly worked over grand-am with two doors, the Ram Air 6 has the subtlety of Pee Wee Herman on *******. Functional scoops, lids, lips, gobs of carbon fiber, and deep dish billet wheels aside, this GTO packs the heat to back up the bling. A 6.4L LS2/LS7 frankenmotor partsbin special puts out 575 horsepower and 500 lb/ft of torque - enough to propel all 3900 lbs of goatiness to 60 in under four and a half seconds.
yeah and like you're holding hands with the vp/ and ceo of Gm to know the truthGTODan said:Your service manager doesnt know what he is talking about.
Possible but not probable. I would like to see it but am not holding my breathe. GM is more likely to slap a chevy bowtie on the vehicle, if it is built, and call it the all new Camaro ZL-1 or some other retro model to counter future hi-po mustangs05GTO said:Sema Update: Daily dosage of whupass, courtesy of Pontiac

Heee! Talk about a linear powerband though...catchmeifucan said:General Electric turbofan engine..... :shutme
Grouch, come on now, I can get you one hell of a deal on a M250 Allison/Roll-Royce gas turbine engine. Now, you put that baby under the hood, and you are talking some acceleration.
Seen the company in Lousiana that takes gas turbine engines and puts them in cars, boats, motorcyles. Jay Leon has a bike. Got to be one hell of a purr once you rev those turbines up. But, the throttle response is less than desireable. Needless to say, you would need to get off the gas way before you tried to make that turn.
3900lbs and 0-60 in four and a half secs. Nah, can't be right. The 05 LS-2 cars are doing this already. With 575 horse and 500 lb feet of torque It must be FASTER...MWHAAAA...MWHAAAA...MWHAAAAAAAAAAA!!! I need it!05GTO said:Sema Update: Daily dosage of whupass, courtesy of Pontiac

Actually, that's a rolls royce helicopter engine. For every mph the bike goes you get one hp. so not necessarily fast acceleration, but one heck of a top end if you got the boyz to find out how fast.catchmeifucan said:General Electric turbofan engine..... :shutme
