Thumbs up Pics of our new GTO
We grew tired of the '06 Mustang GT and its sluggish ways, so we traded it in and picked up this beauty yesterday. After driving it around quite a bit, I have to say this car is much more of a car than the Mustang is. The fit/finish of the car, the interior and feel of the buttons, etc... all nicer than the Mustang. Under the hood, there is no comparison, of course. These really are nice cars for the price. MSRP on this one was $33,188, we bought it for $28,800 without any hassle.








Plans for this one include installing the Monaro nose, custom wheels, and an APS twin-turbo system. We may take it on Power Tour for 2007

Here is the Monaro nose, looks 1000x better.

Those are nice cars inside. I was suprised GM could build that nice of an interior.

I'm not crazy about the exterior though.

Wow Tony! VERY nice lookin' car. I have never seen the Monaro nose that I recall, but I agree with you ... a MUCH nicer look. It makes it look less grand am/prix - ish

I wonder if those wheels know they will soon be living a life in a dark storage facility.
