Leo,

Looks great, also any one that knows you for more than 5 minutes won't buy the nothing crazy because it's your only car excuse. It hasn't stopped you ever in the past, I can't see this one being an different. It needs a blower set up like the Formula had, maybe a small cam, D1SC and bolt ons, drive it all day long, plus I hear LS2s like boost. Or a nitrous in a bag like the white car

It was the best experience I've had buying a vehicle. They sell more cars then just about any dealership you can think of. Therefore they are busy and you may not get the white glove treatment like going to a Lexus or Mercedes dealership, but if you know what you want and aren't there to him and haw they let you test drive and inspect the car and get straight to business about the sale. They make knock off a few hundred dollars of the price, but their eBay buy it now prices are what they really go by. If your looking through autotrader they will mark the cars up an extra $1,000. My transaction was quick and stress free the slaesman and the finance rep. explained everything fully and were helpful. I definitely say give them a try.

Yah thanks for the detailed intel LEO glad you came away with something that ended up looking H.O.T. I will also likely give them a try when the time comes I like the types of inventory they carry as well. Enjoy the GTO.
