If I could sell mine for what I owe, I would. I will say it is a huge improvement of comfortability and practicality over the F-body, seems like you're stepping into a Lexus after riding in the F-body...

My friend picked up a GTO Thursday afternoon. It's also torrid red and is completely stock. He just upgraded from an '07 Honda Civic Si and he said he'd rather have his Honda . Anyways, I like the GTO. Only think I don't like is how the power window controls are on the center console. And the radio is pretty huge itself, lol. Anyone know what 5th gear tops out in on the 6 speed GTOs. He CLAIMS he topped his out in 5th gear at 160...

i'm starting having troubles with my '01 suburban so i'm starting to looking for a replacement
vehicle. i'm getting the GTO fever, thinking about an '05 or '06 black w/red interior,
that combination just does something for me.

thanks...
