  • NFB: Ken...Your GTO where was it produced?

    I ask you this rare question because if the GTO was produced in Australia, it will be not imported to Mexico. It's necessary an XX% of american parts/mexican parts in order to be able to be introduced to mexican auto market.

    I hope the GTO will be mexi-can, instead mexi-can't

    Thanks

    I believe they are all manufactured in Australia.

          Everything is easily in reach. Just wish they could have put door lock buttons on the console like the Commordores...

              Well Chris, my 97 Trans am has been devaluated a lot here in Mexico ( in fact, all the F body prices are down). So, I could modify valvetrain, gears....or....
              I would like to purchase another muscle car within my budget:
              GM: GTO.............discarded already
              Ford: Mustang Shelby Cobra....will be introduced around summer of this year
              Chrysler: Charger SRT-8.........will be introduced around fall of this year.

              But first I have to be alive until then...
              Take care

                      I read in GMHTP that the rear bumper was too high to meet federal crash test. So it cant be sold in Canada
