Thumbs up Pics of our new GTO

We traded in the '06 Mustang GT yesterday and picked up a new '06 GTO. Brazen Orange Metallic, 6-spd. I cleaned it up today and snapped a few photos.









100% factory appearance here, but I know the paint color alone deserves its own thread

Ooooo. Purty! The Interior is so nice on those cars. The stance is nice too. no "4x4" look.

You must have like the most badass family in the world, that they constantly allow you to play hot potato with all these cars. Very pretty Goat, can't wait to see it after it gets "The Nine Ball" touch.

Hmmm, where do you apply?

First, you have to start here:
http://www.egr.uh.edu/me/ (that is where I went )

Then get your Mechanical Engineering degree and go to work in the offshore oil/gas industry. Guys are making $55-65K right out of college. Within 5 years it can get into the $100,000+ range. But, nobody said it would be easy

Awesome looking car. I think you've owned more cars in the last 3 years then I'll own in my lifetime.

Well 9 ball if its Lisa's daily driver why the mods. If those 18s will fit my 02 Z , how much ? I don't know what the aussie frt. end looks like but I think the 06 stock front hits the mark just fine.For wheels try the 06 Z06 chromies 18x9.5. You may have to go with 8.5s, I hear the goats have no fender clearance. Beautiful color & a really nice ride. 100% improvement over your trade-in. I bet some polished TTII"S would look killer too.

Just because it is a daily-driver, that doesn't mean it needs to stay stock, lol. I have a 100HP tuner box on my diesel, and the C6 is supercharged. Lisa had the red '00 Trans Am before the Mustang, it had all the bolt-ons on it. The Mustang was a step down performance-wise from the T/A (of course)

Here is what the Monaro nose looks like. It is a direct replacement bumper cover, it even uses the same headlights and same hood.



As for wheels, I'm leaning towards CCW SP500s, or maybe some brushed iForged Aeros without rivets. Maybe some DPE RO5's with brushed centers and no rivets.

Very nice Goat and color choice. Hopefully I'll land a job that pays as well as yours when I get my degree.
