I saw a Mercury Cougar with huge Japanese characters on the side the other day.

I always thought the GTO should've had very muted shadow graphic on the side to set it off from the other Pontiacs, but NO, not a dragon.

That kid works at the Best Buy at village point. See him driving around West Omaha all the time.

Just wait, catch him at night and you'll see the neon light kit. Can't remember if the characters are green or blue (been a while) but the light kit is the same color.

He wouldn't race me. =(

It's a Mercury Cougar. Just how many races would you expect him to be able to win?

That's almost as bad as the screaming chicken Pontiac put on the hood of the Firebirdy and the Trans-Spam back in the 70s.

The GTO should have looked alot more agressive if it was going to use that name.



Luckily pontiac has the G8 with more power, not to mention the G8 GXP that is competing at the same market as the Charger SRT-8 or whatever chrysler calls it.

It's his car. Who cares what he does to it. It's not like you don't see this type of stuff done to stangs on a daily basis.

I LOLed. I thought those were the coolest cars when I was in elementary school. I still think they're cool. I was too young then, and if I bought one now, I'd have to buy some hair-in-a-can to complete the look.

They're blue. It's funny that somebody else has seen it :p
This was down in Bellevue, though.

GTO=345 in 2004, 400HP in 2005 and 2006.
G8=361HP for the current top. 402HP in the GXP next year.


...so I wouldn't exactly say the G8 has more power. It's about even at best.
