Guest Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 If the 1977 Can Am was "absolutely stock" the newer "stock" GTO would have no problem out accelerating, braking, or road racing the Can Am. The new GTO would also get better gas mileage and it's emissions would be much less as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John348 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 (edited) I agree 100% with Heflen, one thing that Can-Am can do faster is rot out! That was a real rot prone body style by GM. My Grandfather had a Buick Century with a similar design body, that the top of the rear quarters rotted through when it was 3 years old Edited August 3, 2015 by John348 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padgett Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Particularly since the "new" GTO is not a US design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
