My buddy just bought a GTO. Spice Red A4 from Seaview Chev. He called me and cussed me out for telling him to go drive one. Ever since he's had the itch to buy one. He's picking it up today after work.

If I didn't have my Firebird I'd have a GTO or a Dodge Magnum or Charger.
Mark, you'll see it in the Lazy B's parking lot.

He already asked me to set him up with paint care stuff, I told him around 250 will get ya a porter cable and all the polish, pads and micro fiber to get ya going.

Might be able to get him to a track day at PR for the road coarse. But it'll just be a fun daily driver to him. He'll go on cruises and meets at BM and XXX and so on but I would guess that's about it.
He's a dirt biker mostly.

Hell, I'll take it off your hands, dude.
And I gotta figure out what's screwing up on the Formula because I'm gonna be able to change Rick's sig...
I'm starting to wonder if it might be my fuel pump finally giving up the ghost.

Took it for a spin yesterday. ****** **** that thing has a lot of bottom end grunt! I was impressed with the LS1's bottom end, but damn, my car's not even close to that torque output. Spins right up to redline quickly and shifts nice from 1st to 2nd too.
New GTO or Camaro for me in '09 if they're out by then.
