Default New Convert: 2005 GTO

Hey LS1 Tech,

I just picked up a 2005 GTO 6.0 on Friday. This is my first RWD V8 Domestic car, and I'm starting to love the feeling really quickly. My last car was a 420whp turbo Acura Integra, but I decided that I needed a change. I've come to the Dark Side now and I'm pretty sure I'll be here for some time!!

Amazing how different an import with 400whp compares to a domestic car with the same amount of power, isnt it.

Probably a little difference in torque too?

:welcome:

Yea, @ 2700lbs with me in it and 420hp to the wheels, it was quite a suprise to most people.
