Leave my show car alone

 

oh,

sawwy

 

GTO is ugly as hell!!!


but 20K for a brand new is a great deal.

 

^ Might be bland but far from ugly

 

 

I sorta like that bumper from that angel, have any more pics phil?

 

I agree. Its a fairly plain jane car...but I even I have to admit its growing on me...and I hate admitting that.

And that front lip shoptalker has on...I actually like that A LOT.

 

If Scott ever hits me up to take photographs one day...then I might actually get to expierence a goat...

 

Phil, but

 

Oh ok, yea i dont like that bumper now. Shouldnt have posted more pics.

A dealership in San Fran has 3 '04 leftovers. Wonder how anxious they are to unload a 2 year old model car which they have 3 of?

I just need some young shmuck from the CL forum to buy my CL-S6 and I'll be set.

 

Im sure they would love to unload them. The 05 sold a little better but I would guess they can be had for 23-26 ish

 

They have them listed at $33,200

Or an old shmuck, heck, any shmuck will do... their money is green just as much as the non-shmucks

 

very bland car, but then again, so was the CL




We'll go out and photo one day, I really want to get out and do some shots in the mojave flats

w/ the suburban though

 

 

Scott they don't list which transmission the car is. How do I tell if it's a 6MT from the VIN?

 

no clue

but something like 75% of 04's were manuals

 

The Monaros, GTO, and the Chevy all come down the same assembly line. To my knowledge there is no way to get the sequence number as to the order of the GTO'S off the line.
Here is how the vin breaks down.

2 = Pontiac V = V2 Body Style
G = General Motors X = GTO
6 = Asia Pacific Region 1 = 2-door Coupe


6 G 2 V X 1 2 G X 4 L 000001


2 = Number of Air Bags sequential unit number
G = Pontiac GTO 5.7L L = Elizabeth, South Australia
0-9 = Security Digit 4 = 2004

Here is the Plate break down under the hood

I still want to see the burban, too.

Mojave flats sound sweet.

 

Which Chevy?

 

One day friend, one day



I figure we'll do a trial run in the goat, then come back a few weeks later int he sub

 

Man, it's gonna be scary in a few years when you can pick up a GTO for like $10k, so many highschool kids will be getting them and killing themselves

 

No different really than going out and buying a Mustang GT now right?

And high school kids could find a way to kill themselves in a minivan let alone a 400hp car.

 

have you driven the lgt or sti? its pretty hard for me not to redline in first becuase the g force throwing me back has me reaching for the clutch, plus it gets there immeadatley. granted im stage II, but i dont think it was much easier stock. i dont drive with the gangsta lean either, but i can be bothered switching to granny style everytime i want to take off.

im going to try the money on the dash trick once i get a protune and see if the passenger can grab it. i hope not. prob need a bigger turbo for that though.

i also thought the gto was very heavy which is why the 04s werent as quick as they should have been. the 05s though can run low 13s no?

 

I mean really Phil.

 

Just lemme know!!!

Lol I remember techs talking about this with 300zx TT when big customers would bring them in highly modded.

 

I drove the WRX TR, isnt that the same engine as the Legacy GT?

 

LGT has a detuned 2.5 from the STI...unless the new WRX got the 2.5 as well, i think they are 2.0 engines.

 

230-hp 2.5-liter DOHC intercooled, turbocharged boxer engine is the WRX TR

 

Which is the same engine as in the Leg GT, Fotester Turbo, Tribeca no? De-tuned of course.

New to the WRX for 2006.

 

or camaro, etc. Hell C5 vettes are already in the high teens. That said, most HS kids won't be able to insure one.

 

guys weighing them on their own are looking at 3650-90. So yea, it's a big, 05's are good low 13's cars and some guys are in the 12's even on stock shitty rubber

 

I must say that owning both an sti and a gto the cars are not comparable. The GTO is much more luxurious than the sti. The gto rides much nicer in comparison, but also handles like shit. I have never driven the LGT, but im sure the ride quality and apoointments are on par with the GTO.

 

Lumina SS which is sold in the middle east...

 

Like we're ignorant.
