Hey Bud, congrats on the new Goat. I had 2 of them. I never had an 05 or 06, so yours looks a lot cooler than mine did. Mine was kind of bland. A couple of sites for you to check out.. ls1gto.com newagegto.com and gtoforum.com One of the complaints with the autos was the torque management system, so you may want to look into getting a tune. With headers and a tune, along with an airbox and you could probably pull 360 or more to the tire. Thats my best guess, I haven't been on the gto board in a while. Been too busy hanging out in here. The ls1 with the six speed is the only part I miss about my GTO. Now if they made a mustang with an ls1 and a 6spd, that would be one badass ride. Good luck with your new ride.
Yeah I checked out gtoforum.com already. I will check out the others as well. Cant have too much information I guess.
I think a custom tune might be one of the first mods I do make. I am pretty sure that out of the box there is probably some easy changes that would make it more fun to drive. But I think I will take the ride as it is for a little while before I move it up for more. That is part of the fun sure, but this car is already much faster than my last car (97 GT Mustang) so you can see I am just smiling because of the obvious changes already.
very nice, i've yet to ride the ls2 gto but my buddy has the ls1 in his with an automatic and its a nice ride. Peppy and comfortable . I still love the stangs more but damn u cannot deny the power of those ls engines and those tips from the factory look almost like my slp tips, damn schweet.
Better hang onto it, this is the last year they are making them. (Well, Atleast until 2010 or so, but even if they do reintroduce it it wouldn't be on the same chassis)
