So i always wanted an 05/06 gto since 2007 when i first test drove one. This past febuary, i picked it up about a month and a half later due to having to wait for our banks. I bought one off a member on the ls boards. The car is spice red, has corsa exhaust, stainless works headers (catless) and pedders track II suspension. The car came with all stock parts plus the stock 18" wheels which were barely used. These photos were taken a month or so ago. As it sits now it has the factory 18's on it, i also swaped the interior bulbs for regular ones instead of red, changed the plugs to coppers, and i added 04-05 tailights and debadged. I also just picked up a billet pro short shifter.

without further wait here she is







and an exhaust clip!



and a more recent fly by video. I know my shifts are slow, im still getting used to the car and nothing a billet pro wouldn't fix

 

It almost looks like you stole my car nice ride I got almost the same ride as you but auto

 

looking good man, sounds good too

 

You took the '06 tails off and put on '04-'05 red tails that clash with your Spice Red? More power to you for doing something different, but it's definitely...different.
Very nice looking car. I would have switched to the 18's, as well. They're one of the best looking wheels on these cars IMO.

 

Sharp car!
Welcome

 

nice.. i see that u are from jersey.. what part if u dont mind me asking.. im from freehold

 

nice, imo spice red is one of the best colors on these cars

thanks dude

yeah the 18's definitely fit the car well. I haven't seen too many people runnin the 04-05 tails on this color. I'll have to get some pics up, i definitely love the look of the red tails on spice red, the spoiler clashes with it a little, i was either going to delete the spoiler or get the smaller jhp one.

thanks man

im in somerset county montgomery/princeton area

 

That's one nice goat. I will hopefully pick mine up this weekend. Got an phantom(?) Black 04. If you don't mind me asking what are your plans for the 06 tails? I could take them off your hands if you want to sell them?

 

+1. I hope he at least got cash plus the red tails. The blacks are definitely more desirable and have a higher value. Spice red and tail light red clash FWIW. The stock 18s are very nice wheels tho.

 

I actually am looking to sell them, the driver side tail has a hair line crack, not deep enough though to go all the way through the plastic. Im trying to get 50 posts so i can put the tails and the rims up for sale on here. I have paypal, let me know if your interested

I personally like the look of the red tails on my spice red. Just preference i guess. I got the red tails on ebay, $90 and there in perfect shape.

 

i dont see that color much.

good choice.

 

Cool, im right next door in Manalapan.

OP, very nice GTO!! idt ive ever seen that color in person before

 

Yeah that is one nice *** color. I've only seen two that color, and they both have been on the internet. Is it pretty rare?

 

thanks guys, from what iv'e read spice red was an option only in 2006. Getting a gto was probably the hardest car to look for. There were only 18 listings on auto trader and cars.com for a 05-06 m6, i went through about 5 that were already sold and looked at 4 before deciding this was the perfect one. The first one i looked at was a torrid red 05, 6spd with like 35k, i missed signing the papers by one hour, the idiot salesman sold it on me. The next one was an 06 black with 48k, i actually had signed papers on it but then backed out when i found out the guy was a scam artist. The next was a 06 spice red, stock and 200 miles away in Delaware, i fell in love with the color right away but that dealership was a ******* joke, i drove 4 hours to test drive it only to find that it grind-ed 2nd,3rd,4th and 5th and then he tried selling me a 1,000 wax job for it, i left laughing and drove another 4 hours home. I just about gave up with the search. Then i found the one i own now and couldn't be happier.

 

sharp car bro

 

Welcome! Looking nice!

 

Well help yourself out and post up some updated pictures of your car.

 

****! You went through some BS to get one of these things.

 

I got 04-05 tails on mine with the bottom painted gloss black it looks alot better then stock. The 06 tails on our color look horrible bad clash of color with the rest of the car
