FS: New '06 GTO Blk/Blk M6 (Northeast area)

Hello everyone,

I have a 2006 Black/Black OEM 18" wheel six speed manual GTO for $26,900 with only 3000 miles on the odometer. My vehicle has the following over $5000 dollars worth of performance mods professionally installed (essentially the same ZL500 package that SLP sells for the C6 Corvettes):

-GM L76 intake/L92 Heads (mild port work and milled .030 to maintain stock compression)
-American Racing Header 1 7/8" headers with high flow cats
-Magnaflow Catback system including X-Pipe
-LPE CAI
-ASP Underdrive Pulley w/Dayco underdrive pulley belts
-SLP 160 Tstat
-SLP double roller timing chain
-Manley hardened pushrods
-Professional HP Tuners dyno and road tune
-oil has been changed 3 times (500, 1500, 2500)
-only 3 months old
-remaining factory bumper to bumper warranty
-25 MPG on the highway at 80 mph and city averages around 16-17.
-415 RWHP/ 407 ft-lbs RWTQ (~485 crank HP)

I absolutely hate to have to sell this car since it is such a dream to drive but a change in military orders and my son who is growing like a weed (barely fits in the back) is forcing me to sell.

The car has been extremely well taken care of by myself (37 year old, 18 year military veteran) as evidenced by the nearly no wear on any of the tires.

If someone is looking for a sleeper car that has almost as much power at the wheels as a new Z06 LS7, then this is your car.

I kept the stock cam since my son has asthma and I did not want to worry about any emissions issues. The car drives fantastic now and gets better than stock gas mileage, but can easily be upgraded even further with a mild cam if the approximately 485 crank horsepower is not enough to keep you happy.

As a side benefit to the car looking and driving completely stock with the exception of the almost 100 additional HP, you could take the car to a dealer for warranty work with no problem.

I have several pictures I can email if anyone is interested. Serious inquiries only and I would prefer a sale in the Northeast area.

Thanks,
Scott

Sheesh....How big is your son. If my 6ft 350lb body fits back there and he barely fits. WOW. Stop giving him the growth hormones.

Sounds like a nice ride. Good luck with the sale.

Good luck with his growth. My 8 year old is getting close to my wife's height. He is still is in the 90% tile for height. I'm sure he will tower over me as I do my father.

Thanks, I have to make sure I keep him in check now so he does not kick my a$$ later on.

I've had a few interested people concerned about the reliability of this car due to the mods installed. I researched these mods very carefully before installing because I wanted the most power possible with absolutely zero drivability issues. FYI, this car has probably the best bang for your buck mods while maintaining stock like reliability, drivability and gas mileage. The engine that is now in this car is essentially an LS3 which GM will be putting in the new ’08 vettes. Since I went with the new GM LS7 style heads while maintaining the stock cam, you get cammed performance, but maintain a stock idle, drivability and get just as good if not better gas mileage. On the highway at 80 mph I now get 25 mpg where bone stock I was getting 23-24. In town mileage is just as good as the car was stock. GM did a good job with these L92 heads and you can tell they like em since they are now standard in the Escalade motors, the LS7 ZO6, and the soon to be released LS3 in the new Vette. The entire package on my motor is essentially what SLP is selling as their ZL500 HP package for the C6 vettes. Here is a link to SLP’s site which explains the results of the entire mod package.

Hope this helps,
Scott

To provide another option for potential buyers,

I have contacted GMAC, who I have my loan through, and they said they stated I can transfer the loan. I have the loan for $565 a month on a 60 month term at 4.9% and am presently 6 months into it. They said it may be possible to extend the term to 72 months.

I will pay the 1st payment for anyone who wishes to assume the loan so you would not have to make your first payment for at least two months after purchase.

Take care,

Scott

Bump, still available and I forgot to mention that the buyer also gets a free Tbyrne $50 gift certificate which I won at a big GTO meet.

Cheers,
Scott

As an extra incentive for taking over payments, I will pay your first 2 months, in which I will basically be giving you a check for $1130 upon assumption of the GMAC loan.

Bump, still available and at a new lower price offer of $27,200 or the same loan transfer offer is still good plus I have just made another payment so your remaining term is only 54 months or 52 months if you count the two extra payments I will be making for you.
