Regretting my Firebird
 
I wish I would have had my current job when I bought my first car because I would have bought a GTO instead. For some reason I just like them better now I plan to work my ASS off to get the firebird paid off so that I can get another Loan. If GM's stock would sore I would be able to pay it off because I bought them at the 10$ mark thinking they would go up what a screw up that was.

F-bodies > GTO But it's not what I like it's what you like. If you want a GTO Just save up like you said!

nitr0racing21 01-11-2009 06:17 PM

See the F-Bodies are like "yeah look at me I am badass" the GTO is like " psssh please my ride is a million times more comfortible.

But it could be my 105k miles on stock parts lol

A GTO is a good DD, but if you plan to race I would keep your T/A. Also, if you have tops you will miss them. I bought a new 04 GTO and loved it, but I sold it and bought a WS6....I just like them better.

Agreed, the WS6 makes a great drag car, and the GTO is a great DD

i think the fbody says "gto you are a fat ass ugly pig"

i think the gto cowards in the corner...

:lol:



i like trans ams more..

nitr0racing21 01-11-2009 06:45 PM

I dont have TTops I plan to pay the car off and have both a GTO and the firebird the reason I wont sell the firebird is because its the first car that I bought myself without any help and I pay it off myself.


I am looking for a 06 6speed 6.0 GTO becauseits the devils car (666) and I want the firebirds tag to say 666Bird and the goat to be 666Goat

I want the really sexy red color not torid but the other red.

actually that whole post kinda confused me a little..

nitr0racing21 01-11-2009 06:51 PM

nah I didnt word that post correctly I dont want to make a car that isn't a trans am a trans am because true Fbody people will still know by the Formula badge and the rear bumper. but its whatever nothing I can do now except I wish I could go back in time and do it all over agian.

who cares what other people think... all that would matter is if you liked it...

hell if nothing else, rebadge it...

i mean seriously... that would be like me not putting on a ws6 hood because its not a true ws6 because true fbody people will know the difference.. :confused:

1 Bad Ass Formula 01-11-2009 06:59 PM

I like the GTO because it's a Pontiac GTO & it's LS1 powered... But it looks like a Deluxe Cavalier, and of course it's heavier. The Trans Am has an aggressive good looking design, weighs less, and of course has that LS1. The GTO might have an interior design advantage but is that enough to give the overall advantage to the GTO? I don't think so.

You have a real 1 of 233 Formula WS6? That alone makes that car 10x better than either a TA WS6 or GTO. You'd be nuts to get rid of that car.

nitr0racing21 01-11-2009 07:03 PM

I don't know I love her but if the right deal came along she would be gone. if I didn't get my headers X and tune I would have traded it in but I just got this shit done less then a month ago.

If you wanted a comfortable car you shouldn't have bought one with a solid axle...
But with that said get rid of those shitty stock shocks for some quality ones (like atleast some strano spec bilstiens) and your ride will be 1000X better while also improving handling.

nitr0racing21 01-11-2009 07:10 PM

I also need LCA or atleast the bushhings

If you are going for ride comfort get the stock oem rubber bushings. Also I'd bet your tires are over inflated which can make a huge different in ride comfort. They should not be over 35psi front and rear, preferably 30-32psi.
