Pics of my new car...GTO

[Smeech]

As I mentioned in my "looking for a new car" post, I just picked up an '06 GTO. It is cyclone grey metallic. It has the Sports Appearance Package (SAP) with different front grill, rocker panels and rear bumper. In addition, it has a magnaflow exhaust with split tips. It's a 6-speed, of course.

I absolutely love it. It drives great, tons of power (400hp/400tq)--and even though I actually disliked the GTOs when they came out in 2004 (no hood scoop, single-exit exhaust), I really like the way it looks.

I got it for $27k OTD.

Future plans are: Flowmaster 10-series with custom H-pipe (delete the resonator, add H-pipe), GMM Ripshift shifter and perhaps a spoiler delete, and the LS2portworks Throttle Body.

They have great performance but lackluster looks...pretty much one of the reasons I didn't buy one.

Great car....enjoy.

my buddy has one exactly like that one. it is ok performance wise. but the ride makes up for the lack of speed. they are sooo smoothe on the road and i can sit in the back seat and my head does not hit the roof it is more of a performance/luxary car. if it was my DD i would prefer a GTO to my car.

I like the way they look, really conservative and nice. They have potential too, even though they weigh a decent amount.

Looks great man. Id throw some tint on there, but otherwise looks perfect

Very nice. Congrats and good luck!

Congrats on the new car man, GTO is a nice choice. I don't especially like the exterior, but the interior on those are sooooo nice.

I like everything except the side rockers. Those two "vent" look out of place and don't match the overall side profile of the car.

Let the "free mods" begin. Damn LS motors, so easy to mod

Really? I like the stock 18s... they remind me of the Mustang 18s that are stock now, but better. Or are you talking about the SRT-4?

God I love those cars...

an 06 wanted to play with me last week but I had the girlfriend in the car and she said no. Sadly I had to pull next to him and explain and he let me know he wasn't happy with a WOT goodbye...I wonder if I woulda taken him from a roll...
