Picked up the new GTO this morning, bye bye old 04' lemon. Here is a quick pic I took when we got home. Amazing difference all around from the 04', feels much quicker.

Nope. They could not find one in the area with them.

What time are you going to Woodburn tommorow? Still trying to see if I can make it.

Being a newb and all, what happened to your '04 that you did not like?

I was thinking about getting one in a year or so.

The 04 had tons of electrical problems, guages didnt work (replaced 4 times), radio went out twice, car battery died completely randomly, power steering pump replaced, rear exhuast replaced twice due to grinding, locks replaced, trans problems etc.

The 05 is a way better car, to this point, way more power and cleaner shifting. Also looks a lot better with the body additions. If you are going to get one, I would not recomend an 04, wait until the 05's prices drop a bit. They are selling really good right now, so it may take a bit longer.
