I am a believer in the 2004 but a CAI and catback does not compensate for the above. I would like to be so but have not seen it.
This was a few years ago, With just a SLP LM1 CB, Garbage K&N CAI on Nexxen 265 Street tires... I was pulling 2.1-2.2 60' times do to no traction.... DA was around 1900+... Still managed a 13.1 @ 111 mph, Like I said I was pulling 13.2's @ 107/108 bone stock... The Performance is pretty much the same between the 04 GTO and the 05/06 GTO IMO... When I was stock I put down 330/338 If I can remember correctly and people say oh your dyno was generous ect... But my 1/4 and MPH at the time didnt lie... Maybe my car is stronger then most 04's given the track record of LSX motors being all over the place power wise but mine is what it is... With just the TSP228R, LT's, Ported CB, Tune im making 425/396 and running 12.06 @ 114.5... So it is what it is lol...

Thanks man, Just the skid plate and Vbrace in the rear... Maybe a total of like 40-50lbs MAX and a 1/4 tank of fuel maybe a bit more.... Other then that its full weight....

You could spend a little more and buy mine, I just listed it in the for sale section. 2005, 57k miles with nice mods and no cam (daily driver, don't need cam). IBM best color anyway ha.
