The GTO's just don't have "the look" like 4th gen Camaros and Firebirds do....they look "foreign" IMO. (probably making some enemies here, ha..) WJ

The two cars are very different, both are lots of fun in their own way.

I like the stang too and I'm a GM guy...
I looked at the IBM and for some reason it didnt do it for me,I think its because it had the black gut instead of the blue?I will say the Cyclone Gray metallic is beautiful,its like slate blue,very classy...

I'm going to look at a CGM today with 4,200 miles of it for 26,900
It had a Corsa and KN CAI on it too..

Dealer car,will see..
I might be keeping my Hawk...

Well its been a long night,I looked at about 6 GTO's...Whoever told me they were gonna give me nadda for my Hawk was right as the best offer was 14,000 which was sickening,But luck was with me at Davis Pontiac...


I went to see a Kieth that sold me my 97 Hawk back in the day...He had a few car lot guys that loved the Hawk and offered me a very very fair offer,I ended up losing a few bucks for sure but I got out of the Hawk and that was the most important thing since I wanted a 06 GTO..

I looked at Red,Black,Grey,Blue but after looking at them all I came back to Torrid Red,Keith from Davis wouldve dealer traded for me but he had an 04 TR and I liked the color.. and it had the red interior too....I wasnt sure if I liked it but once I saw it in person and drove the car I was sold...

I wanted the 18's but this car didnt have them...
The best part is I ended up with 0% for 60 months so its like free money

I learned a hard lesson,DONT SELL YOUR 04 GTO for an Firebird...
Boy was I wrong..

Anyone thinking of doing it listen to me DON'T...

Someone on here summed it up best,The F-Cars are more of a toy,weekend racer...
The GTO is a civilized 400 everyday brute
