Hey guys, i'm going to be back from Afghanistan soon and i'm planning on picking up an 05-06 GTO. I was just wondering what to expect while owning one. I took one for a test drive while on R&R and it felt great, alot more power than an f-body to me and felt much tighter. My plans are to put a vararam intake, kooks headers and a spintech or bassani exhaust and some drag bags on it. Thanks!

 

Great choice! Good luck!

 

sounds like you have a plan! you wont be dissappointed!

 

I've owned an 04 first then an 06 goat and enjoyed both of them. Currently bought my third goat another 04 and def happy with my purchase. You'll be happy with your new goat man.

 

6.0??? I hope so! I raced a SRT8 charger with one a while back and lost but it was raining and stuff! definitely a good purchase in my book though!

 

I love my GTO, I have had it for 5 years now and it is by far my favorite car that I have owned!

 

You cant go wrong with a new Goat, I have an 04 and an 05. They are both strong and bust mustangs all day long! You wont be disappointed!

 

If your picky like me, be prepared to pay out on a Pedder's front half repair kit because factory struts, mounts, bearings, and radius rod bushings are all garbage. Sometime in the summer or fall I will be ordering the back half repair kits from Pedder's. Just going to take $1,500 in parts to make the car drive the way its suppose to for me. Not complaining, I knew this buying the car and their front strut rub and rear spring sag issues. Just don't overpay for one, because money will have to spent rectifying factory wrongs.

 

i agree suspensions are loose on these cars and need upgrading.



still, ive had mine for 6 yrs and still enjoy it.

 

Once the bushings are replaced, its like you're driving a different car, imo.
