It'll be interesting to see, i doubt the kick backs will be as big as the 04's, they are just trying desperately to get rid of them since the 05's are out. It's funny how some dealers think GTO's are gold. I went out to VA and went to test drive one and not a single dealer would let me. However out here, they could careless as there are 10 or so on every lot.
And, for 22-23K I'd jump in an 04 w/o hesitation. That other 10K will easily make up for what differences their are (h/c 450-500 hp 2K, new brakes (the 05 has upgrades) 2K, etc, etc. Hood scoops (which personally i'd delete if I got an of).

whenever a thread talking about a GTO appears i always think of the mitsubishi GTO back in japan and click into it.. GTO and FTO's are sick, just underrated here.
the pontiac ones are nice too, but for something that has 400+hp.. i would expect it to look fast and designed alittle bit more attractive.

really? I haven't seen any discounts on 05's. Or atleast, not on 05 w/ a manual

Agreed. With that much torque and the fact that GM automatics are quite good in that application, it makes sense.

I wouldn't say THAT. I'd say they're worth about $25K. The interior's awesome, and the drivetrain is straight out of the Vette. Are you saying the Vette's drivetrain, with a more than decent interior, is not worht $25K? C'mon, don't be silly.

Yes, I am. Why pay $25k just for a fucking drivetrain?
The car weighs 3,700 lbs & has no options & looks like it should be called Cavalier SS.
