Pontiac GTO

Why are Pontiac GTOs (the 2000's Australian imported ones) so underrated by everyone including the insurance company?
I was looking for a cheaper competitor to the car I was looking at (2010 Camaro SS) and I found one of these
>400 HP
>3,700 Lbs
>muted design
>hideous front end

It's faster in a straight line despite being 5 years older and having an LS2 compared to the Maro's LS3, and the biggest kicker is I can insure the fucker for 1-0-8 dollars a month. For comparison, the Camaro was going to put me in 144 a month, and I pay 118 a month for liability and uninsured on my DD.
What the fuck is going on?
Anybody own one?
Should I get it? I really think I should

Absolutely get one and remove any trace of a muffler

honestly one of THE best sounding V8s ever made.

also theyre pretty fast

thanks man, will do.
Planning on going to drive it and probably kick the tires of the maro saturday.

Watch out for common issues
>fucked rotors (shit from the factory) replace with slotted
>t56 3rd gear and reverse might be a bit touchy if it was abused
>MAF sensor can shit itself (mafless recommended)
They are slow from the factory hence why i recommend the MAFless tune or upgrade to a bigger maf and a tune when u get intake and exhaust you should be getting well north of 350rwhp

>Why must my fellow countrymen shoot themselves in the knee?
Yanks have terrible taste, sorry they just do.

>yanks
This is why I'm a Texan.

The most based of all yanks

Your alrite m8

Oh and another thing while im up.

Check the cooling system and go into diag mode on the dash (Hold Mode and UP button with acc off then switch to on and start and use mode to switch between) make sure it runs cool

this one has a famous quote by our most famous bush ranger (outlaw who killed a bunch of cops and become a hero, kek)

or you can go the tradie route and get this

this southern cross is related to workers rights, happened during the original mining boom in the 1800's when the miners and cops fought over rights to mine. pretty much stands for workers rights these days.

or just the standard southern cross one m8
