This car has to be one of the best Daily Driver/Hot Rod combos going. Ya get the Gen. 3 engine with all its excellent attributes and a near cadillac ride and comfort for a good price. But I do still miss the grass roots appeal of my Camaro.

I doubt they're a sponsor here so I'm not sure if I should post the website. I don't think any sponsor here even offers the package though. Here's a link to a big thread at LS1GTO.com about the gauges.
GTO gauge pod
The pod goes on top of the dash and replaces the panel that's just above the center vents. I think one company, JHP, has a package for the 2005's but not the 2004's yet. You guys with the 2005's already have the harness *right there* underneath that panel to hook up the gauges. This company has the gauges that are on the Australian cars so it'll look factory stock.

I also noticed mods are not cheap like my Fbody, or I should say not as cheap as my Fbody.

I am hoping that the 05's come down in price in 8 or so months but if I find a good deal on a 04, I'll have to go with that.

Thanks for all the comments!

I guess I'm lucky. I have a silver '04 GTO that the dealer threw in the '05 hood, plus I got a better deal than any of the other dealers would give in my area. Perhaps because it is the 4th car I have bought from them. I/we also have a 2000 TA with several mods done to it.
I haven't decided what mods if any to do to the GTO yet.
