Sold the Z28...got a GTO... Well..I recently sold my 2001 Z28.. (pictured below)
And I got a 2005 GTO A4.. It has 17k miles on it and I think I got a pretty good deal at $20k. The day I got it I took it to a local dyno day and put down 330rwhp. That's the factory stock tune and the air fuel was under 11.8 down to 11.3. The tuner said I should gain around 15-20rwhp with a tune alone.

Too bad you couldn't keep both. You had a very sharp looking Z28. 
The GTO looks nice too, I like the '05+ hood and exhaust. And you can't go wrong with silver.
But IMO all the goats need a wheel change to really look their best. Some CCW 505As would make that GTO look badass.

Any plans for new wheel/tire combo to spice up the goat?

Rims are fine for now. Get the performance first. Tire upgrade headers, intake, catback and tranny cooler then stall it then a good tune. should make the car alot more fun to drive!
