I like to think the auto companies research web sites to get ideas about what the folks want before sending another model to production. If you were designing the rumored 2009 GTO what would you change? What would would stay the same? Add your list!!!
Changes: (from most important to least)
1) Obviously put the gas tank where it should be.
2) Build the car to take HP mods well, say up to 600 hp (ie: ability to take wider tires, not need to swap drive shafts, joints ect. Maybe a "heavy duty" option??)
3) Fold down rear seats (at least a pass through), maybe seat 3 instead of 2 in the back
4) Memory seats "option"
5) Weight (less of it!)
5) 500 hp Z6 engine "option"
6) More head room, sunroof "option"
Things that should stay the same!! Most important to least.
1) Continued use of Vette engines
2) Price higher than Mustang, less than Vette.
3) Continued progression toward modern syling (ex: BMW M3 & Infinity G 35), but strive for impressive yet low key like Audi.
4) Avoid the retro craze styling.
