Re: [Chevelle-List] New GTO pics - four door, V6, FWD pieces of crap

I believe that if the General would bring back the 70-72 Chevelle body style( with a few updates ) and put "New Technology" in them as: LS1, overdrive trannys, Modern engine management systems i.e.: MPG's. They would sell the H____ out of them.  I'd beat a path to my local Chevy dealer.   Dwight 72 Elky/86 L98/TPI ----- Original Message ----- From: Clint Hooper To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 21, 2003 5:16 PM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] New GTO pics - four door, V6, FWD pieces of crap My wife drives a four door 95 Accord wagon. So what. If you had your choice(you didn't) between a two door,V8,RWD SSE and the one you had to buy,,would you have bought it,instead? A reliable piece of crap is still a piece of crap,,right? Lighten up,Leo. FWIW,my '91 Chevy 1/2 ton truck has 235,000 miles on it and it still gets 19-20mpg,uses or leaks no oil,and is still tight.

I agree with Dwight. GM started going downhill fast when they started concentrating on building four door, V6, FWD pieces of crap. Ever wonder why truck sales took off after that?

What they call it doesn't matter. How it performs does. Calling this "Aussy" a GTO is one thing but, it will never be a GOAT.  Same goes for GM producing a new"Chevelle", it will never compare to a SS396 or SS454. Dwight 72 Elky
