The above Pontiac GTO, according to the latest WHEELS Mag, is called the Ram-Air 6 and has a 6.3L V8 pumping out 375kw at 5200rpm and 675Nm 4600rpm hitched to a six speed manual. Unlike the cosmetic scoops on the latest Z Series Monaro, the bonnet scoops on the Pontiac are functional and feed the two filtered ram-air plenums that you can see in the engine pic. It also has uprated brakes and flared guards that you can clearly see, also a set of downward facing dual exhaust pipes behind the rear wheels, which look great. The Ram-Air has been a Pontiac signature since the early 80's...It also states that Holden had NO involvement in the project.
Thanks to David McCarthy who wrote the story in WHEELS. I can't take all the credit..haha!

, goes back to the 60's and was used upto the 80's then was re-introduced in the mid 90's, to date. Adds about 25bhp but is easily modified to gain another 15++Gassing Station | HSV & Monaro | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
