it'll be some time till I give it more power, will concentrate on handling first

who needs more then 400/400








well, I will eventually

 

my stock 97 2.2 puts down 450 to the wheel



and now that you mention it, what good is all that power if you fishtail everytime you punch it...

suspension mods for teh win

 

well, it just needs bigger tires, it has 235/40/18's

which I had on my CL at one point

 

I'm jealous. At least I get 27 city miles to the gallon.




I wish I had 400HP though

 

Gawd damn beautiful car you've bought yourself.

Look up a couple of Holden or Vauxhall Monaro reviews on Top Gear. Those guys absolutely love the car. Out of college, it's definitely going to be the first car I purchase for myself.

Now find yourself a nice place and powerslide that thing til' you can't powerslide no more.

 

actually, this thing is rated at 26 mpg on the hwy, so i'm close


I never got more then low 20's out of my CL

 

Got any links to the top gear Holden videos?

 

sad to see it go, but at least h2o will be continuing the legacy

 

thats a sick car man congrats on the upgrade! thats an interesting color too i might have to rethink or what color im gonna paint my project car!

 

I was too

 

damn another cl gone

great color choice on the gto!

 

damn another good lookin cl bites the dust. but on the other hand it is a gto

 

congrats man! how does it handle?

 

Havent been on the forum in a while, just thought I would see who the hell is still on here. Nice ride, going to do anything to the goat? Im rolling a wrx (highly modified) as my daily driver now and a 300zx TT as my weekend warrior. Take it easy...

 

pretty good, could use a little help

 

"Little gtoooooooo, you're really lookin fiiiiiiiiiine"

 

not @ the moment cause I'm @ work. But just go to google videos, then search for: Top Gear. It's how I spent my weekend.

I think there's 3 videos: The Vauxhall Monaro VX-R drifting video, the regular review they do of the car, then the "muscle car" challenege where they put the GTO up against a 300C, and a Jaguar (whatever edition has the supercharger)... not really a relevant comparison @ all, but it's awesome seeing the Monaro do 100 yard powerslides on a beach and dig up a 2 foot hole into the sand with its rear wheels cause it can't find traction.

 

found it, great video

 

did the 235's rub during hard cornering?

 

yes

 

wow dude good shit i was thinkin about picking one up, but its just outta my price range and insurance cost range. lol

 

Varoom! Varoom!

that's pretty awesome.

good luck man...whats your first mod going to be?

 

Shouldn't your name now be GTOPower?

 

sway bars and a short shifter

 

Congrats on the new ride!! Can't wait to see what's in store for it!

 

DAMN RIGHT.

Now get your ass out there to a flat beach and do some football field sized powerslides mang!

and post that recipe for the carne asada

 

Sweetness Scott!!!!
Congrats!
I actually thought about one myself.
Snapss is going to be biting the bullet on one shortly though... Blue with Blue Interior.
We went and drove one of the 6 MT's and I drove since he is the suck at the manual... The 6 MT is really the only complaint I have on the car... Wasn't very precise shifts, and just felt mushy, and the shifter seemed oddly placed.... Now I'm sure I could deal with it if I owned one, but this is just what I felt after making the salesguy shit himself as I gave her hell in some turns. What I was overly impressed with was the handling, I did not expect it to do as well as it did , for as hard as I was pushing it in the turns.
Overall great choice!

 

Yea, i plan on ordering a short shifter soon, everyone says it makes it a completely different gear box.

 

all it needs is a WW front lip and a drop ...i mean this is the first gen forum and all

nice ride, i never really liked red cars but that's a red i can appreciate

 

lol

 

great stuff
