Hey!!!

Well, today, Sun 11/12/06, I traded in my '03 Infiniti G35 for an '04 GTO with just 28K miles on it! I'll get pics up tomorrow most likely!

I've always loved GTO's, and while it took me about 2 years to forgive Pontiac for the ultra-bland styling, it finally hit me that, given the power it has, it's the perfect sleeper! I have since fallen in love with the new-gen GTO's!

While I wanted the '05-06 with the LS2, given the price, I had to get the '04. Low miles, nearly perfect condition to the point there's no scratches or dents, and even the leather feels practically brand new! The guy kept it in pretty much better-than-new condition, and I am proud to have it in my driveway!

By the way, it's yellow with deep tint.

Oh, and yes, I paid for it on my own!

Same Here

thats sick man, u honestly just posted the exact same thing i did when i got to this site. 20 years old, I tried for the 05 too but just couldn't do it, 04 is sick and easily modded.... take a look at mine. I raced my friends 05 (he has strait pipes and cool air intake) and it was door to door. wait till i throw a new cam in there.. its over.

Ahh yes, the perfect sleeper and if you're like most of us, that is truely defined by how little (compared to some muscle cars) we pay for insurance and testament from mustang gt"s that get stomped by us.
For us, bland is good.

Sounds like you and me are (or were) in the same boat. What mods you got? Have a cardomain or anything similar?

line up by Sarge

That is a nice line up for your Goat. What kind of wheel/tire combination are you using and/or have used in the past. Would like some pointers on controlling 600 rwp. Thanx, Red

The BMR skidplate saved my ass this most recent "encounter" with a electrical box and a cement slab.....took a direct hit from the slab....
Getting it to the ground?....welding the frames together....stiff ass Pedder springs...poly bushings....Koni shocks....harrop rear diff bolted to the frame....EP solid driveshaft....use to run Nitto's and now run General UHP's....she does come out of the hole....
