Considering buying a '05 GTO This past weekend my car, 98 firebird formula was totaled when I hit a deer going down the road 
I've been considering a new car and of course I want to stick to an LSx engine. Considering replacing my bird with a goat.

That's a link to what I'm currently looking at. I want some feedback on everyone's overall opinion of the gto and what I can expect differently after driving an f-body for the past 4 years.

If you drive it you will buy it. Most of us are completly biased since we own GTOs. I absolutely love mine and will not ever give it up. Even after I buy my next new car this one will be perserved in my garage!

I came from a 2001 Formula to an 2006 GTO. Build wise they are built alot better than the F-bodys. GTO drives very smooth and seems overall to be a really nice car.
They do have some issues, nothing major. Mainly alot of the issues coming from shipping method when they shipped them from Aus to the USA. Plan on eventually redoing the entire suspension setup if the car has not already had it done.
Tire choices are limited as they dont have alot of room up front for wide tires, wheel choices are limited as well.
Overall I still like my car.
