ehhh those wheels. I'd change them out. I'm not a fan of Pontiac in general but if you like it that's all that counts. GL with the new ride.

The GTO isn't really my cup of tea.

But all in all i'd say its pretty good.

Mong1126, your statement would be similar to some GTO guy coming in here and saying, TC FTL.

lmao

Kitty Whipped, ROFL!

He's acting like a tc fanboi =p

Given, I love my tc to death.

But, I admire other cars, and the work that some people put into them (with the exception of rice lolololol).

Gotta give credit when its due, no matter what make/model it is.

The GTO is cool, but GM messed it up made it look like a bland Grand Prix and made the Grand Prix bigger and lame.

Go look at the Australian version of the car made by Holden, which is where this car came from
.
I know that the Australian Tuners were building Turbos and other performance parts to ship up to the States for this car but I don't know if they are still doing it.

But the GTO is cool. I wanted one of these cars and I wanted to convert it to the Holden version which looks real mean.

Have fun with it man, I know I would.

then i did and told him it had 400hp and he goes "oooo that explains alot"

a girl at work has a GTO, a red one too. It is nice, just not my type. I'd put the stock rims back on.

Sick car. Definately an upgrade as far as performance but keep an eye on it, I worked at a GM dealer and we got alot in for a whole bunch of different problems. Trannys, rear ends, electrical, etc.

But i'll tell you what... when I worked there I drove a few to lunch and their heavenly. The 6.0's throw you back big time. Had one come in for service with some basic mods and it was scary fast.

Not even a boosted tc could catch a GTO with basic mods... and a boosted GTO is in a whole nother class.

Exactly why I won't purchase a GM car and one of the reasons they needed a bailout. Either way, congrats
on the new ride. Not something I would 'upgrade' to but as long as you're happy, that's all that counts.
