Definately does not look like a Cavalier or a Grand Am...I am still trying to figure out why people say that. Anyways, car looks really good.

Really? Everytime I see one, I think, "What the heck is that? looks like a big cavalier! Ohh wait that's a GTO." Just lacks that, "I'm gonna kick your ***" style. No offense, just my opinion. When my brother first saw my car, he said, "Holy crap, it looks like it's going to eat me."

The old ones didn't really have that "I'm gonna kick you ***" styling either, IMO, and those were pretty big cars with a nice size motor and power, just like the new GTO's.

i have one question for you why would you want to get rid of the sts turbo and go the heads, cam, nitrous way i mean the sound of a turbo to me gets me off i just love the sound of them and they can make so much power with a forged setup and a good set of low compression heads.

By the way love the car, had one at the car lot i worked at and drove it everyday.

i to loved the tubo, but it started to get way to expensive for me. to get to the next step over stock i would have to spend a few thousand here and a few thousand there on top of the 5,200 i spent on the kit.

so i am going the other route, step by step
im sure you understand.

You can't come in here boasting that you have a GTO AND tell us about all the mods you will be doing for it. That's like waving to a person with no arm, saying "hey... this ****'s useful... I'm gonna go pick something up now". *mitch hedberg reference*

I was referring to the fact that you have a GTO (which most of us want and can't have) and your also talking about how you're going to make it even better with mods (therefore a boast upon a boast)... then I inserted a Mitch Hedberg analogy... are you not familiar with Mitch or do you just not get what I was saying all together?
