My NEW QUEST!

Is a 04 GTO!

I will own one.... I have been brain washed!

A few things..

I understand now the GTO is not a Trans Am - nor was it supposed to be... It is like the GTO of the 60s was to the Tempest... the 04 GTO is like "any other car" just bad@$$!

It has an engine that has more mods than any other engine on the market today! I can mod the GTO to 750+ HP for very few $$ --- now that s not my motivation but I WILL OWN ONE SOON!

and By the way... anyone want a 04 5000 mile CompG for a good price?

Way to go!!!
I'd love to get a GTO.
I've been reading that alot of people don't care for the bland look of the GTO. I happen to be one of the few that like them. I turn my head everytime I see one.

Pics as soon as you get it!

Well I called GMAC Insurance (my car insurance company) and the lady said there will be a very little change per year if I trade out the GTP for the GTO -- So I will pay the same in insurance for a Vibe/GTO/GTP -- so getting older has some benifits

I hate insurance rates. My dad has a 98 Z28 with little over 9000 miles and due to insurance, I'm lucky I can even ride in it until im 25. No me gusta.

Off the subject..and about insurance rates....
I live in Texas, if you couldn't tell, and my parents and other family live in Missouri(@ Ft. Leonard Wood)(I knew you woulda asked Steve ).
Full coverage (I'm 23) for my 99 SE here in Tex. is like 200-260 per month!!! But in Missouri, it is only @ 50 bucks. Soooooo, I live in Texas and have Missouri plates. I had my parents put the car in their name. And you don't have to get the car inspected every year either..so I go up once every year or so to get my paper work done.
Shhhhhhhh....

FYI Jizz, the Maryland State Police now have at least TWO unmarked GTOs in their fleet as chase cars. saw both with people pulled over on I=95 south this afternoon around 1:30pm between 695 and the JFK Tunnel. strobes, lights inside the car, and plain as can be.

That's awsome!!!

Good lord!!!

I'm glad I'm old (39y 10m). I pay $160 for my wife (dodge quad cab) and myself, a month.

Right now I pay 680 each for the GTP and the Vibe per year

$113 per month -- old is good (somethimes)

OK THE GTO IS ON THE LOT!

Barbaehgtouishergos (spelling?) Blue 6 speed or Silver 6 speed or Red Auto -- I cannot decide!!!

Most likely I will get the Barbaehgtouishergos (spelling?) Blue

Hey Jizz, if you get a GTO, you going to try for that "last 800 made" PULSE RED package?

If those are the choices, I'd go blue.

Blue

I agree, blue. The red is an Auto (yuck for that kind of car) and silver sucks if you have to match it.

I like the Impluse blue better than the barbados blue, but its better than silver and to hell with the auto.

FYI, Bel air POntiac has 2 black, 2 indigo blue and one Red. (as of Monday) At least one of the black and one blue are 6 speeds. Only 45 min drive from Glen Burnie Jizz. Though its a MUCH smaller dealer than swanson or Anderson but its a shot if you want a different color.

I went to University of Missouri-Rolla for a year, gf still does, I would recommend makin a stop at Big Louie's (and whatever you do, dont go to Big Daddy's, its a big mistake) next time youre up here.

I vote for Blue.

My brother in law works at Big Louies.

Not sure how to do this -- but I GOT THE GTO!

The GP is gone

BUT THE GTO IS AWESOME! TIME!

And for all you 6-speed fans; sorry I got the Auto - The only real thing my wife really wanted in the car -- and heck she let me get it

So it is a Torrid Red with the Anthracite (black) Interior. The Barberoihyerois Blue is really ugly up close. And the Silver did not do anything for me. I liked the Red and Yellow (at least on this car).

Is it fast?
What's the first thing you're going to do to it?

Thats awesome ! ! ! !

It is hellafast! The Auto tranny pre-loads when you are at a stop... you can feel the rear pull down Man it is EVIL!

The first thing...hum, not sure- I know there is a Auto-Tranny mod out there for the sluggish kick down.. might start there. You know this is actually the LS6 motor with the LS1 heads/cam?.... So I figure a good start would be the heads and cam to get the car to the ZO6 HP range

I know people are saying the LS2 is much better but.. there are 1000s of cheap powerful mods for the LS1 right now. I figure if I like the car enough I will get the LS2 GTO later down the road.

And btw my son already calls it "the GOAT"

Man...I wish the damn GPs went to RWD. Have more fun.

Yeah, the police are getting sneaky aren't they? I know the WA police over here has a fully tricked out WRX. I saw one the other day. It was lowered, had exhaust, aftermarket rims, body kit, huge wing spoiler, and what appeared to be illegal tints. I thought it was pulled over on the side of the freeway, until I realised, the WRX was the one with the strobes, and flashing red and blue lights

now THAT is entrapment.
