RSS Bot Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 For those of you who don't know, I'm looking at buying a 2005 Pontiac GTO. I've been looking since late February/early March, but I haven’t had the money until now... Soooo, I'll be posting a lot of information related to the GTO over the next few days/weeks/months. This is mostly for my reference so I can look it up whenever and wherever I want (instead of printing out a book worth of information).

Balandar Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Sorry, no ######stang for me. The GTO beats it in every class. ftp://gtoforum@ftp.actsoft.com/05GTO.zip (will need a dvd type player, I'll try to find the avi movie). There are over 120,000 stangs sold already. expected 190,000 this year. WTF do I want with a car when I see 6 a day. And the retro look... And no bloody 4 door charger that drives like a buick. I want the power of the LS2. Something so powerful it snaps your head back into the seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
