Pontiac GTO Première Muscle Cars
En 1963 lorsque l'ingénieur en chef de Pontiac , John Z. DeLorean , et son équipe ont installé un moteur de grande taille dans le châssis intermédiaire de la division, ils ont immédiatement inventé la Muscle Cars.
Au cours de ces 20 minutes , Bill Collins et Russ Gee ont assembler un moteur V-8 389 ci dans un châssis Tempest .
Ils ont créé le prototype de la GTO de Pontiac et ont changé le cours de l'histoire de l'automobile
À partir de ce moment, les voitures de performance américaines ne seront plus jamais les mêmes .

The three fathers of GTO can be called the engineers of Pontiac - Russell Gee (engine specialist), Bill Collins (chassis specialist) and chief engineer John DeLorean. In early 1963 GM management issuaed and edict banning divisions from involvment in auto racing. At the time Pontiac's main focus was on performance, hence racing was an inportant component of the strategy. But when GM banned factory sponsored racing, Pontiac's young, visionary management turned its attention to emphasizing street performance. The name GTO was inspired by the Ferrari 250 GTO and it was DeLorean's idea. GTO in italian is Gran Turismo Omonogato (Grand Tourer Homologated - english). In other words - officially certified for racing in the Grand tourer class.
The GTO was basically a violation of GM policy limiting the A-body intermediate line to a maximum engine displacement of 330 cu in (5.4 L). Since the GTO was an option package and not standard equipment, it could be considered to fall into a loophole in the policy. Pontiac General Manager Elliot "Pete" Estes approved the new model, although sales manager Frank Bridge, who did not believe it would find a market, insisted on limiting initial production to no more than 5,000 cars. Had the model been a failure, Estes likely would have been reprimanded. As it turned out, it was a great success.
Pontiac GTO have experienced four generations an is still alive. This GTO model is from the very last - fourth generation. It started its era in 2004, relaunched in US, based on the Holden Monaro's V platform. It also become quite popular among so called Tuner's generation. And thos model is not an exception. It has modified body kit - fattened mudguard areas, modified bumpers, hood. It also uses modified interior as well as large wheels to feel more racy. Huge V8 under the hood, 17 studs wide, little more than 37 studs long, blue with blue/black sporty interior. Quite roomy for a race car. Rear seats features foldable armrest at the middle.

The Ferrari GTO (often referred to as Ferrari 288 GTO)(Type F114) is an exotic homologation of the Ferrari 308 GTB produced from 1984 to 1987 in Ferrari's Maranello factory, designated GT for Gran Turismo and O for Omologata (homologated in Italian).
Some of the GTO's styling features were first displayed on a 308 GTB design exercise by Pininfarina shown at the 1977 Geneva Auto Salon. The 288 GTO had started out as a modified version of the 308/328 to hold down costs and to build the car quickly, but little of the 308/328 was left when the 288 GTO was finished.
Easily noticeable differences were the GTOs bulging fender flares, larger front/rear spoilers, large "flag-style" outside mirrors and four driving lights at the far sides of the grille. Retained from the original 250 GTO were slanted air vents, put in the GTO's rear fenders to cool the brakes, as well as the rear wing's design, borrowed from the 250 GTO's original wing. The GTO also had wider body panels than the 308's because they had to cover much larger Goodyear tires mounted on racing wheels.
The GTO was based on the rear mid-engine, rear wheel drive 308 GTB, which has a 2.9 L (2,927 cc) V8. The "288" refers to the GTO's 2.8 litre DOHC 4 valves per cylinder V8 engine as it used a de-bored by 1 mm (0.04 in) with IHI twin-turbochargers, Behr air-to-air intercoolers, Weber-Marelli fuel injection and a compression ratio of 7.6:1. The 2.85 litre engine capacity was dictated by the FIA's requirement for a turbocharged engine's capacity to be multiplied by 1.4. This gave the GTO an equivalent engine capacity of 3,997 cc (4.0 L; 243.9 cu in), just under the Group B limit of 4.0 litres.
Unlike the 308's 2,927 cc (2.9 L; 178.6 cu in) engine, the GTO's 2,855 cc (2.9 L; 174.2 cu in) V8 was mounted longitudinally, using the 308's rear trunk space. This was necessary to make room for the twin turbochargers and intercoolers. The racing transmission was mounted to the rear of the longitudinal engine, moving the rear differential and wheels aft. The arrangement also let the GTO use a more conventional race-car engine/transmission layout for such things as quick gear-ratio changes for various tracks. As a result, the wheelbase was 110 mm (4.3 in) longer at 2,450 mm (96.5 in).
On April 8, 2010, Ferrari announced official details of the 599 GTO. The car is a road-going version of the 599XX and Ferrari says the 599 GTO is their fastest road car ever, able to lap the Fiorano test circuit in 1 minute 24 seconds, one second faster than the Ferrari Enzo. Its engine produces 661 bhp at 8250 rpm, with 460 lb·ft of torque at 6500 rpm. Ferrari claims the 599 GTO can reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in under 3.35 seconds and has a top speed of over 335 km/h (208 mph). At 3,500 lbs, the 599 GTO weighs 220 lbs less than the standard GTB.
Production will be limited to 599 cars.
Ferrari has given only two other models the GTO designation: the 1962 250 GTO and the 1984 288 GTO.

This set of images shows post-conversion work performed to take my 2005, Texas-based Pontiac GTO back to its Aussie Holden roots. Looks much better. A few small details here and there also go a long way sometimes.

This was one of five examples of this model taking part in the Coys of Kensington GT Race at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1995. It's Brandon Wang's 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO, shown as a 1961 model in the programme of the event -though Ferrari didn't start making this model till 1962. It's chassis #4219GT, and the car was designed by Giotto Bizzarrini, the body by Sergio Scaglietti and the 3 litre V12 engine was the Tipo 168 designed by Gioacchino Columbo.
The 599 GTO, the Ferrari 355 and the Lamborghini 550-2 Valentino Balaboni... If u see further behind there is a LP640-4!

FYI.....hey I get into classic cars. Even a bit of a tomboy....can do my share of mechanics. Put a few guys to shame during my day when around the hood trying to figure out why the poor girl's car won't start. LOL!!.....just thought I'd share!!..hee hee
