The mazda might have better reliability than the Holden has...I know CD TV was talking about how the Monera has been out for two years in Australia and GM needs to get on them about some of the quality issues.

i saw at least 75+ TRUE ('64-'74) GTO's this weekend at the OC Classic Car Show and Cruise, and imo, gm ruined the nostalgia (right word?) of the original by re-lableing the monero to take its place...its not even an original design, they just rebadged another car 
booo gm/pontiac

GTO owners lucked out getting the LS1 in there cause there is extensive aftermarket 
I believe you need to trim the hood to get that blower in though.

maybe it was faster and cheaper, but since when does that mean anything. quality on the gto is amazing, and the interior is one of the best from GM

Here are more details:
Magnuson will be releasing an intercooled kit for the GTO this summer.
- O.E.M. quality Mp112 5th Gen, "hybrid" roots style intercooled supercharger w/integral bypass valve
- Intercooled application features a unique air to liquid heat exchanger that is integrated into the manifold, below the supercharger
- Computer programmer - re-flashes factory ECU, spark and fuel control, transmission shift points, line pressures and torque converter strategies are optimized to manager increased torque, horsepower and mileage.
- Two great warranties - standard 3 year limited warranty
or add an optional 36,000 mile 3 year powertrain warranty for $200.00
- Does not void your warranty :P
- 100% complete with step-by-step instructions
This all-new intercooled supercharger system utilizes the Magna Charger MP112 supercharger with internal bypass valve.
Torque and horsepower output is improved from 1500 rpm to 6500 rpm. This kit is complete with all components necessary for installation. Included in the kit is the cast aluminum intake manifold and all necessary hardware to complete the entire installation. Other components in the system include new fuel injectors and extruded aluminum fuel rails, coolant circulation pump, intercooler core and heat exchanger. Factory push lock connectors are utilized in the fuel system for ease of installation.
Prices:
Silver finish s/c kit = $5989.99
Polished finish s/c kit = $6989.99
Damn I start liking GTO more and more and with nice body kit it will be DA BOMB despite the price tag including s/c kit. But for performance and look, including nice interior that GM made first time ever in history - its a great machine with awesome V8 sound.
