The jacket for the special mail order version "GeeTO Tiger" record opens to show six pictures of items mentioned in the song. We got the "Hurst floor shifter", "Transistorized ignition", "Listen to growl" - winding road, "groovy set o' red-line tires", "three eight-y nine" - tripower, and "fasten your seat belts". The reverse side of the record has "Big Sounds of the GeeTO Tiger -- At the GM Proving Grounds." It's a radio conversation between a GTO test driver and the Proving Grounds "control" room. I like this part the best:

"... Control, this is 36. We've just reached black top. Speed 50.
Very little tire noise. Up to 60. Handling perfect. Gonna take 
her up to 70. Were coming to the torsion bumps and washboard now.
I'm getting a little vertical sheet metal shake from the front 
corners of the hood. No dancing though. Slight shock over the wash-
board. Approaching railroad tracks. Rebound normal with slight
bottoming on the tracks..."

People say that the GTO was not a very good handling car. But with the comments above, it looks like Pontiac was satisfied. It then goes on and does some 110mph laps; followed by very loud brake tests; then more acceleration tests; and a 1/4 mile run at 102.5mph in 14.1 seconds.
