Default Sick GTO in Spring/Willowbrook area

I saw a gray 05+ GTO on Spring Cypress near 249 the other day that I hadn't seen before. It was pretty nasty lookin, slammed on some billet wheels with a nice lip out back, it had a big 3-4" cowl hood on it, and custom tags but I couldn't read them as we were passing by. Very loud too.

If you are on here, you have the best looking GTO I've seen

I've yet to see a new goat that caught my eye, still think Pontiac screwed the pooch on that Grand Am looking Toyota Camry wanna-be design, but this one sounds pretty decent looking...should have taken some pics.

We were both in steady moving traffic going different directions, I wouldn't have had time to get my phone out.

My brother-in-law has a pretty sweet looking yellow 05 GTO. Heads/Cam/full bolt-ons.
I think Pontiac did just fine with the new GTO.

Yeah guess your right Ross, I'm just rambling on contemplating another hot rod now that PEPE's gone , actually the GTO's are supposed to be one of the most comfortable cars interior wise, out there, but if I wanted a Camry I'd drive my wifes......no but seriously the GTO's are nice....glorified Grand Ams ...lol..no for real they are ok...

Go drive a Grand Am, then go drive a GTO. When you say they are Grand Ams, it only makes you look ignorant and clueless. Yes, they have the typical Pontiac styled grille and headlights, but the cars are nothing alike otherwise.

Any true car enthusiast should be able to appreciate an LSx powered RWD V8 vehicle with 400 hp from the factory. Otherwise you might have to question your masculinity.

Yeah yeah, anyway never said they "were" grand-ams , All of us true car enthusiasts are well aware of the god almighty LSxx capabilities and making a humorous visual comparison with a camry/grand-am shouldn't end the world. Actually my wife and I love the gto's handling, performance, interior design and comfort especially and we both don't mind the exterior on some models over others, it's just ok, we think it has a camry'ish look to it but it's an awesome car. Still like the C6's much more .

Probably the same one. It had custom plates but I was already too far away to read it clearly.
