Alright so we know our posts have slowed down over the past few weeks… well we have been busy working on some big things for Canibeat behind scenes, and preparing for Import Alliance which is now only a month away! I assure you the quality of our features and photography will only continue to get better!
Every once and a while I come across a car that is truly unique, a car that I would normally never consider owning and I find myself thinking “Damn! Now that’s badass!” Recently I have had the pleasure of working with Colton Burns, owner of this beautiful Pontiac GTO and the talented photographer OJ Santiago. Some of you may remember Colton’s last car, the Acura TL with its flat black paint and unique Work VS-XX’s with wrinkle black spokes and gold barrels/lips. Well he sold that to his good friend earlier this year and bought the GTO back in January. Started modding it in March, got carried away again, and he’s not done yet…
” I can’t trust a shop to do something how I want it so I have done it myself all my life.” – Colton
Probably the most controversial part of this car, which also happens to be my favorite part, is the aggressively spec’d CCW LM20′s and lower ride height. It may not be low in comparison to some cars that we post but Colton has certainly taken the road less traveled in the GTO community let alone the domestic community as a whole. I have always liked the lines of the later GTO’s however if there’s one thing I have noticed its that I have never seen one with wheels that I like…until now!
Exterior
Kirscher splitter
Custom maverick man carbon rear diffuser (still waiting on this, shaking head)
CCW LM 20 18×9/18×11 wheels
Pirelli Pzero Roso front tires/Pzero assimetric 265 30 rears.
4300K HID kits for both fog lights and low beams
The GTO is just waiting on a carbon fiber rear diffuser, side markers to replace the
GTO badges which are en route from the UK, and some small odds and ends for the
nitrous setup. Those are Colton’s plans for the immediate future but this definitely will not be the last time you see this car on Canibeat!

Now I may be partial to CCW LM20′s given I own a set myself, but I really LOVE what Colton and Dan came up with for a finish on these wheels and I can’t wait to see the car in person at Import Alliance in a few weeks!
Future Plans
Getting inch larger outer barrels for the front, bigger race tires in rear and
front, and adding milled cnc trickflow heads asap. Car should make
530/500tq to the ground with that, then nitrous puts it over 700 whp.
So a 9 second daily driver if I get it to hookup
quasi sleeper status
