The new GTO's....I don't know if I like them or not. It seems they move decently but I think the WS6 looks much better and the fact that the WS6 is 5 years older in these horsepower war times and right there with the GTO says something....

The TA hung on decent considering it has 80 less advertised HP in stock form. However, I wouldn't really consider that a "Modded" TA. I guess techinically it is. I would more consider it a bolt-on TA.

Hey M8d2run. Congrats on your new 05 GTO.
Where in Cali are you? I am in Folsom (Sacramento area). I will race your GTO if your in the area. I have a 2000 WS6 A4 with a 221/223 112 cam, mac headers (running though cats and a stock cat back), 2800 vig converter and a LS1 edit tune on near bald stock rear tires.
I hardly ever get the chance to race, so it would be cool to see what our cars would do for fun.

I "consider" a modded car to be at least a cam . . . more like a Heads/Cam and bolt-ons or some form of forced induction.
I'd call his WS6 stock with a shifter (all cars come with an air filter
)Cool video

Something to keep in mind when watching that video. Stock curb weight of a GTO is about 3600 lbs. That's a lot if you didn't know and more than an F body. Stock tire width for a GTO is only 245. WS6's are definately mean but the 05 goat is more luxurious and is a faster ride, especially with some decent tires. If this is your first performance car purchase, get something with a warranty unless you:
A) have lots of cash to burn on the car, or
B) are a mechanic and enjoy working on your car regularly
just my .02
