i LOVE the blacked out tails of the 06 model.

and the 18's look good as well.

love the color, for an orange its a great color.

somehow the GTO is the only car ive ever seen that looks GOOD in Orange, and Yellow.

I don't get the GTO. It looks totally like a Grand Am.

and the Original looked JUST like the LeMans with a hood scope, few changes, and a big ass engine thrown in.

:D So very true...

So what did it cost you out the door? Dealer near me wanted 27k for an '05 with 7k on the clock.
:Q

HOLY CRAP.

he got it OTD for 33k.

anyways, how the hell could you even THINK of that? you can get brand new ones, off the lot (05) for around 25k if you haggle well.

Awesome man :thumbsup: Pretty much the exact one I would get. I'll just buy mine in a few years used for like $10K or less :p

Once that gorgeous engine is broken in, burn some rubber for me :evil:

I wasnt thinking about buying it. I was dropping my buddy off there so he could pick up his car and was just BSing with the salesman. Check my sig, I've already got my fast toy :)

If you can find an 05 you like. The only 05s I saw were either a color I didn't like or automatics.

is it true that the door doesnt unlock when you pull the lock handle from the inside? I heard you have to actually reach over your shoulder, pull up the lock pin and then open the door. If thats true, thats a horrible design...especially for a 30K car

What performance?;)

or maybe this performance?

The LS2 is a great engine and the interior on the GTO is really nice. It puts the Corvette's interior to shame.

If you throw a roots blower on the GTO like what the GT500 has, you should outperform the GT500. It will be a lot cheaper too because the blower will cost less than $10K, especially if you don't get it polished.

The new Mustang looks great and with Shelby's provenance, it's great, but at the end of the day, it's still a Ford product. :thumbsdown:

Gotta love that Brazen Orange...I still remember when a few GTOs got together last year during the dream cruise and a GM guy snagged a Brazen Orange to show off. unf.

As far as the GTO vs. Mustang GT goes, the GTO is faster (Car and Driver did a head to head) by an arguably significant amount. Though the Mustang has a better image, and most people who buy cars do so because of the image that a car carries.
