How GTO's do it in Texas... 56K beware!

Thought this would be fun to show you guys this... got back this weekend from the yearly "Goatfest" in Fredericksburg, Tx. This is our 5th one, and we have GTO's come out from all over the place, eat some barbeque, do a big raffle for prizes, and meet people on the forum... very simple and fun. We'll have 20+ cars in caravans from the major Texas cities, and the drive is always a blast.

Anyways, 100+ GTO's... I didn't take it, but I think it's cool panoramic picture. I'm the red one in the third row, seventh from the left. HAHA

Hahah... but then we add up the horsepower... might take a few hundred more RX8's to get there
BTW I'm nice to my RX8 buddies!!!

Check this out. We fly the Holden flag every year. We know who builds 'em and where they come from... and were proud of it.

Now that's sweet! I nearly got "wood" just thinking about all that horsepower.
And that Holden flag is pure class my friend.

Uh was that a Missouri plate I saw(front row second from the right,yellow w/black stripes)? Damn they do come far and wide for your meets. LOL.

Yes, and I think we had one guy with Connecticuit plates, and a some from Kansas and Oklahoma... all over.
it's a loooong fricking drive to get to central texas from the just the border of the other states.

Gotta have you down here one of these times!

Been to Texas quite a few times over the years. Never in the goat but that would be a cool road trip though. Only 1200 miles from Orlando...

I bet you guys think you're so cool with your "torque"
Its a fad, it'll never catch on.

Great pictures though, its always cool to meet up with people who can share a passion for their cars without constantly trying to "one-up" each other.

Oh look! A bunch of SOUPED UP CAVALIERS! LOL!
Just busting on ya man, those are some sweet GOATS!

You would of been proud to see the GTO running in the speedworld GT class at Sebring! He was running down Vipers and Vettes, just needed better traction in the corners, other than that the GTO was a beast on the track!

Good to see one of them with a Monaro V2 front end. I personally think the stock pontiac front is ugly.

Proof:

Just was having a think, these kits would/should fit to, since the front end is just a VT- VX commodore (I owned on before my 8)







My personal fav (VX senator front):
