Are those wheel centers "Hyper Black" or "Hyper Silver"? I had been going back and forth between one of the painted centers or chrome...i've decided I want whatever that color is!

I"ll probably be looking to get the 278s because I like that design better, but the Hyperblack looks great. Nice car.

It def. looks great. The Brazen Orange and Spice Red are my favorite 2006 GTO colors. A lot of people do the Monaro swap, I personally like how it looks stock. Honestly I liked my Z28 but I love my GTO. Yes it is heavier, but its got a lot of perks about it. I was looking into 01 and 02 F-bodies after I sold my 97 Z28, and happened to take a test drive in an 05 GTO. I instantly made up my mind to get a GTO, and ended up finding a used 06 at a great price. If anyone is on the fence, test drive one or just buy it, you won't be dissapointed. Now if you are like Tony, and can have both, you are in great shape!

Oh one more thing about the APS kit because I believe they are in the process of releasing a kit for the F-body. This kit is probably the absolute best engineered TT kit I have ever seen. When installed it looks extremely clean, almost stock and the numbers it produces are insane. For the price, there is not a better kit out there. There is one GTO here in Las Vegas making over 700 rwhp on the stock LS2 short block. Granted, thats at about 16 psi, and will eventually blow, but the owner has a nice forged LS2 in the works, so no worries. Just wanted to give APS the recognition they deserve incase anyone is planning on buying their TT kit.

You will reach that goal with NP on the APS kit. That would prolly only be on 7 or 8 psi and without any methanol injection. If I had the cash, I would have a kit!
