I had 2 of them. Slow and slower. Really nice looking cars though. Could barely beat a KCode 271hp Mustang and couldn't keep up with an SS Chevelle or Camaro with 350 CI. You didn't even try the 396's.

I'd argue that while the Chevelle domination was slightly exaggerated, but it wasn't far from the truth when comparing a base GTO to a base SS396. The SS396 ran a lot stronger than the 325hp rating would have you believe.
