Hey all,

Well first off let me say hello to everyone on the boards. I used to own a 04 SRT4 with minimal mods done. I had to get rid of it for many reasons including issues with the stock turbo and ticking in the motor getting worse with every passing day . Currently I drive a scion TC to save on gas and insurence till next year when I plan on getting a 05 or up GTO.

The GTO will be my first rear wheel drive and non 4 cyl. car. I know I know.....it took me a while to see the light! So im really looking forward to getting one. I joined here now to start researching and just to get to know the other owners I hope to join soon. Till then Ill just have to dream
