it's gtp or gto. gtx was a hopped up plymouth satellite back in the 60's and 70's.

ill try to post pics of that car soon.

anyways, the GTX is a package that you can order on the GTP. SLP is who builds the parts for the GTX. All it is is the ram air hood, badges, floor mats and exhaust added to the GTP. the ram air hood looks shard and is funtional but makes very little performance differance. the only noticable differance is above 90 mph. the ducting in the hood is so tight and restricted, its hard for the air to make its way to the motor.

Is that the Pontiac GTO that is made in Australia and sold here as the HSV (Holden Special Vehicles) Monaro? It sure looks like it

Yeah....the high way patrol interceptors were hard core back in the day.

I heared a report that you guys over there prefer the HSV commodore utes (or trucks as you guys call em ) than the Monaro/GTO? What do you think??

no the gtp has been but the sunfire was originally the sunbird. JcAus that is not the GTO the GTO has no offical look for the US to date that is the pontiac Grand Prix GTP with a GTX performance package which is bigger exhaust, functional ram air(although blowngtp said it aint that great) and 17in rims&tires. its more of an appearance package then performance

The GTX package on the GTP came out in late 96 when the First widetrack GTP was made.
