Cool car. It's a shame that they don't look muscular enough though.. Kind of a grand prix on steroids.. No offense

I don't believe so. A person can never be as accurate as a computer. Autos are more consistent, and with the right stall should have no problems keeping up with a manual in a striaght line. IMO

As for mods I'm not sure yet. Depending on how fast I sell my aftermarket parts from the car and the parts from the car I may do a Procharger. If not then for now just a simple CAI, LT headers with high flow cats, a Borla or Corsa cat back and a dyno tune.

As far as the car goes the only thing that can't be sold is the front suspension, hood, fenders, lil' stuff like that.

Re: No Fbody But Good Enough

It handles fine for me. I say the GTO is a muscle car (nice and classy with some *****). Where a Camaro or TA is a sports car (fun to drive, not much room, going mainly for performance). Putting drop springs, sway bars, and SFC's on a GTO should fix the handling problem (though I don't see one).

Re: No Fbody But Good Enough

Nice car man, LOVE the color. (not sure about that leather tho... black would be better IMHO.) I personally love the look of the GTOs, especially the '05s, with the new hood, and the duals that are actually on opposite sides of the car. I just hope that ol' LT1 will still have a place in your heart...
