GTO or keep my TA
A friend of mine at a local performance shop here intown put the idea of me trading my car for a goat, i've been thinking about it all night. Any of you guys done this and happy with the result. A new car would be nice, but with the money i'll end up spending on the GTO my car could be mint w/some more kick. Other than the interior what do you guys like about your cars? Im torn between my car and a goat. and the 5500 of sticker ends on the third so i have to decide quickly

Keep the bird or trade in for a GTO?
A guy at a local performance shop in town put the idea of getting a GTO into my head last night, i've been thinkin about it most of last nite, what do you guys think, the GTO is nice, and having a new car would be sweet. but with the money i spend on the GTO i could have my car mint and have alot more kick. what would you guys do, anybody know of the pros and cons? i posted in the GTO forum aswell to get their opinion so hopefully i'll know what i want to do soon, thanks in advance

Well, heres my take (keep in mind Ive never owned a T/A) I used to have a 03 Mustang GT. Now not that the GT is even in the same class as the T/A, just that they are both, more of a bare bones, engine, seat, wheel go kinda cars. I HATED the Mustang, it felt cheap, loosely put together and of course weak. I just got my GTO yesterday and Im in love. The interior is unbelievable, rivals a coworkers M5. Of course the LS1 is awesome. According to my dad "That mustang just felt hollow, this sucker has got some *****!" I think youd be happy either way, you just have to decide what you want, a super fast car w/ decent ride, interior etc, or a really fast car w/ a great ride, interior etc. Sure you might lose to a T/A here and there, but everybody will want to ride back to town w/ you.

The 05 GTO is going to be a beast, but it would be cheaper for you to just keep your bird and do what you want to it. No car payments is a good thing, and more $$$$ towards your bird. I was thinking of selling mine, but think I've convinced myself other wise.

As in my sig, I had a 2000 Z28. My new GTO feels as fast. There are no rattles inside or out. The IRS really keeps the rear end planted instead of getting loose. I'm 6' and I can fit 6' people in the back seats. The overall build quality is far superior to an Fbody. It's also nice to be the only one with a GTO on the road. I get people doing double-takes everywhere I drive. It's not a run of the mill car. I couldn't be happier!!!!!

Now that you've mentioned no car payments, I have to agree that not having them is a great thing. Just paid my 'bird off in November, and have been enjoying the "extra" funds. That "extra" money can buy a lot of mods.

Ill agree big time on the getting double takes. Ive had the car for 3 days. Ive had lifted, lowered trucks etc before and Ive gotten more looks and double takes in the past 3 days than in any of my previous vehicles combined. Its odd since the GTO is supposedly a bit of a sleeper.
