Default Check Out My New Car....

I sold my fully built vette cause I got sick of having a car that sits in the garage. Plus I was able to make a little money from the sale too. So I bought a 2005 GTO that is my new daily driver and I must say this car is WAAAAAAAAY better then my vette and the ws6 I owned. Everything is soooo much smoother. No creaks, rattles, or annoying noises. Not as fast as the vette but hoping to get either a procharger or maybe nitrous for it in the near future.

Mods on the GTO are:

Show:
DMS Cowl Hood
JHP Duckbill Spoiler
Custom painted Front/Rear Bumper
Custom Painted Badges
SAP Grills Gloss Black
Gloss Black Powder Coated 18's
4" Stainless Steel Exhasut Tips
Painted FRC's
Hurst Billet Shiter Handle
8-Ball Shift ****
Smoked Fog Lights & Side Markers


Go:
Comp Cam 228/228 112LSA
Varam Intake
Port & Polished Throttle Body
GMM Street Shiter
Stainless Works Long Tube Headers
Stainless Works High Flow Catted X-Pipe
Stainless Works 3" Catback
Spintech Mufflers
Pedders Front Springs 1" Drop
Pedders Rear Springs 1/2" Drop
Strut Tower Brace
MSD Wires
Relocated IAT Sensor
Custom Tuned: 410hp / 430tq



SOLD THIS.....






BOUGHT THIS.....

I like the car, but for some reason that hood makes it look like a pre 04 grand prix. which is odd cause i dig the hood too.

Thanks LOL to be honest red was not my first color of choice. I just got a really good deal on it and couldnt pass it up. Now that I have the car the color is really starting to grow on me! My old black ws6 was just a bitch to keep clean. The white vette was just a dull color. But the red really grabs ur attention and plus it always looks clean from 10 feet away!

I love vette's but that goat is beautiful!! And if it's more functional on the road, that's a win-win!

The vette was a beast for sure. Pushing 600whp. But the extra money I made from the sale will most likely fund either a procharger or turbo The GTO is alot more forgiving on the road. It doesnt even drive like a pontiac!

I normally don't like the way the GTOs look but this one looks great! That hood looks sweet on that car.
