Here in the U. S. , however, love for the GTO is still strong, and with the retro-mod movement on the rise, you never know when somebody else is going to rebody a new Camaro as a classic GTO, like the 6T9 Judge by the Trans Am Depot (above). What Launched the GTO Into Stardom?Helping to launch the new Pontiac GTO in 1964 was a comparison test performed by Car & Driver magazine that was orchestrated by Pontiac PR man Jim Wangers. The GTO did surprisingly well against a Ferrari 250 GTO, mostly because Wangers had substituted the standard 389ci V-8 for a souped-up 421ci ringer engine, resulting in one of the fakest car magazine cover blurbs of all time: "Tempest GTO: 0-to-100 in 11. 8 sec. " The trick worked, and sales of the nascent Pontiac muscle car soared. To the kids growing up in a postwar America, a car priced ($2,491 base MSRP) and equipped (325 hp) like the GTO seemed like a dream come true. The Pontiac GTO’s Many NicknamesAnimals figure strongly in the GTO's history, with the first round of propaganda in 1964 pushing a tiger theme, a la "GTO Tiger," with the first portion frequently lettered as "GeeTO. " On the street, the GTO's letters, rearranged to produce a malapropism, suddenly became "goat," which is fine for the car's proponents, because the acronym GOAT is often used to mean the "greatest of all time. " The GTO initialism was also mangled to form "the Great One," a nickname also shared with Jackie Gleason, who ironically starred opposite a Firebird in one of Pontiac's biggest PR victories, the movie Smokey and the Bandit.
