Default just drove a goat
I was out looking for a TA or GTO and found a couple orange 06 GTOs(both autos). Test drove the ugly orange goat and that sucker is nice.

Smoother ride and nicer interior than I was expecting and the go pedal was fun. Didn't like the mpg or auto, but nothing too bad.

Just thought I should share. Now I need to drive a TA to decide which is better for me.

If anybody is looking for them, they are at the DeMontrond Pontiac dealership in N. Houston on I-45. PM me for the salesman's name and offer. He said they also have a 99 Z28, didn't ask about it.

Im with you on that one. Dont know what you would call nice looking but that color is one of the most sought (sp) after colors available. I would find one in a standard and call it a day. Or a TA or Z28 in the SOM.

One of the local guys, Tropi-care Chris, has an orange '06 that I have seen in person several times.

Very sharp color.

I guess it helps that he keeps it immaculate.
