You could always go the forced induction route and then it will really yummy

Ha, well, that staement is a big phat shit

Vipers are actually VERY reliable. In fact, at the last track event, there was a Viper there that had over 100k miles, half of which were track miles. The only work that he had done to it was preventative maintainence.

I agree though-the new goats are pretty cool. I almost picked one up last year about this time when they were having those CRAZY deals on them.

Yes the NEWER ones are reliable....but everytime I've ever been to the track I've always seen one getting towed off... Not dawging on Vipers by any means, love those damn things, but I'm sorry reliability is just not their #1 selling point...and damn it I will argue this untill I'm blue in the face

still love ya G.....

Same here man

It's interesting though, as I have two good friends that both have '94's, and both of them have upwards of 40k miles on them with not a thing that ever went wrong.

Oh, and no, I don't think that anyone really cares about the reliability of this things anyways

I've been planning on keeping my CL for quite some time and saving money with no car payment, but man that GTO is very very tempting.
I looked at the '04 GTO when I was looking at the TL at the same time. Wasn't impressed with the GTO froma driver experience like I was with the TL and having all the tech-toys inside the car.

Now the 06 GTO with the LS2 is very impressive HP/torque.

I use to have this
