New to me GTO Just flew to Springfield, MO this Saturday, and drove home my 2005 GTO. Got it for a steal, so I had to make the trip. Took a little over 17 hours mof straight driving to get back. Seller said it had Borla mufflers (hence my sig), but he was a dealer, and it actually has a muffler delete kit. Sounds real nice. One of the tips is dented, so this gives me a reason to actually get some Borla's now lol....Anyway, I LOVE the car. Very tight, and very fast. I have one tire that appears to be getting the strub issue. Also, the rear end looks different then the last 06 I test drove, and I swear it feels like it has a shift kit. Shifts very quick and firm, not sure how they shift stock ( I didn't pay attention my last test drive). It actually pulls you back in the seat a little even through the shift. The 1-2 is lightning fast....Who knows....

Got it for $11k with 60 k on the clock. I was going to try to stay in the 40-50k mile range, but this one was in such great condition. When I say its tight, I just mean it doesn't feel loose or sloppy. The turning is very precise. I'm a truck guy, so coming to this car everything feels a lot more stable. Trucks have the bouncy rear-ends and sometimes sloppier turning. I think the rear end is normal lol, its just the last one I looked at was so dirty and had a big oil stain on it. This one looks really clean, and I almost thought it looked bigger, but I think it most likely OEM...I can't imagine how nice it will feel with suspension mods, that's what i want to start out addressing. The passenger front tire has some strut rub, and it has some rear end sag
