Smile Graduated from LT1 to LS2!

Never had an LSX based car but now I do. 2005 GTO with 14K miles on it. Had a couple of Camaros, restoring one now but sold a 97 SS and picked this up. Located in Seymour CT.

Edit - Hobies other then Cars include Snowboarding, Hiking, Running, Mountain biking, Golf, Beer, Cigars & eating. 27 years old, livin the Condo life, working for the Man.

Nothing. Bought it 100% stock and will most likely keep it that way. I still have lots of research to do though. For example, I have been told an air filter alone pulls the same numbers as a whole air intake set up. Being my 1st LSX car, don't know too much about them yet.

Been considering Intake, cat back & a tune...... maybe.....

I will still miss my SS. Probably gets more looks then the GTO will.

Thanks.

The Solstice GXP is pretty damn peppy. I drove it a couple of times and must say, I enjoyed it. Not my cup of tea, but very cool car.
