Just to add to the history, Ferrari was none too happy about the copycat naming .. including copping the "2+2" 360 Modena moniker in their Catalina 2+2. They had a shootout in '65. Pontiac brought a GTO as well, but the original 389 had a 421 shoehorned in. The Ferrari GTO was not ran, but the Cat creamed the Modena scooting 0-60 in 3.9 seconds (it is widely known they cheated .. but, hey, when Ferrari calls you out ....). The Modena beat the Indian on the track by 1/2 second, but the price tags were about $14,000 and $4,000.

Great Trash Oven (I think they refer to the engine on the Pontiac GTO).

Pontiac actually "borrowed" this from Ferrari. It does actually mean "Gran Tourismo Omigloto" or something like that.
Pontiac said it means "Get Turned On" those were the days...
