| Pontiac GTO Hat CapCar and Driver incited storms of controversy when it printed that a GTO that had supposedly been tuned with the "Bobcat" kit offered by Royal Pontiac of Royal Oak, Michigan was clocked at a quarter-mile ET of 12.8 seconds and a trap speed of 112 mph (179 km/h) on racing slicks. Later reports strongly suggest that the C&D GTOs were not equipped with the 389, but with the 421 in³ (6.9 L) Super Duty engine that was optional in full-sized Pontiacs. Since the two engines were difficult to distinguish externally, the subterfuge was not immediately obvious. It could have been possible for the GTO to reach 165 mph without the speed limiters, but that hasn’t been confirmed. This high quality GTO hat features fine embroidered stitching. Brushed cotton twill. Adjustable velcro strap. No plastic snaps Rating: 5 Comment: Excellent looking Name: Glenn Location: PF, ID Date: 07/15/2016 Rating: 5 Comment: Nice hat for GTO lovers to wear.
