There is an argument currently on that no 454 left the factory, but there was a car body built for a 454 drop, and the car was built with special Australian Design Rules so it could be registered. car had full interior, badges lights, interior,etc.
Ran A-Mod and under the records of the day 74-75.
Ran 11.68 and had a ET of 132 (not at the same time )
The 132 indicates that our tracks had very poor traction as they never got the rubber build up US tracks got.
Car is currently being restored. Resides in my garage.

The GTO now has a 5.7 aluminum block rated at 340hp@ 52000 and 360 ft lbs of torque
Can be had with a six speed manual or a four speed automatic trans
There is a hit that there may be a 400 hp in the works [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smirk.gif[/img]

That thing looks too much like the current Mustangs if you ask me. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsdown.gif[/img] I say go retro with the new GTO and have it at least resemble its forefathers, or don't call it "GTO". They can do better than an Australian carry over. A little more design effort should be put into a car like this than moving the steering wheel from the right side to the left side 'IMO'[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif[/img]

Please, don't anyone rush out and pay over MSRP for one of these! I'll be buying them for half price in a year or so. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsdown.gif[/img]
