Nothing can stop us now- wait, did't dirty larry say that?
It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas.

I have friends in DCX's studio... those pictures are NOT Photoshopped. That IS the real deal concept car. Which is to say, be forwarned... it IS a "concept car", but I betcha' DCX learned their lesson by teasing with one thing and then delivering another.  In other words, I rather doubt they'd make the same mistake twice. One can hope, anyway!  Dale

 they are testing the waters to see if there are any glaring negatives or positives. This one also looks to be more feasible(realistic) than the 99 was in terms of making it to production. I am sure they might have to change a few things if they are serious about this model but it is a dang sight better than what was shoved on us last time.
The devil will be in the details though. Stylewise it seems to be a big hit (here at least), but if it ends up as a high priced, underpowered, option laden heavy pig that cant handle it will suffer the fate of the GTO.
I am not suggesting it be made a barebones "stripper". I am hoping it will end up as a competitively priced stylish good handling, high performance car.

I was hoping you would chime in Dale... 
I know that you have friends that know the answer... 
Any other information that you can talk about?
BTW, thanks to you & your friends for confirming what I believed! Ever since the spy pictures came out some folks have been looking for the lone photochop on the grassy knoll... 
Contact DCX and let them know that you like what you have seen so far!!!

When referencing the GTO, we need to remember that it was an Australian-built Holden, which GM slapped the GTO name on and stuck in the big engine.
The big problem with the GTO is price. There were magazine articles with the Monaro and ute with domestic (AU) pricing slightly lower than the Mustang. When it got here, it was almost 10k more. Underpowered or bland styling would have been minor grumbles if it was 21-25k. At 35k it was a killer. They 'fixed' the power and styling, but the price is still too high. When GM had the fire sales, the vette and the GTO were not included.
