.... a friends '05 6.0L LS2 GTO.


I liked it.

That is all.

 

You suck.....

 

ha ha

 

just don't say you're gonna get one of those now! hehe. ;P

 

I didn't type that ha ha, someone hopped on my account.

 

I drove the 5.7l a while back. I must say that i was impressed by the power but it felt like i was driving a freight train. It didnt handle very well at all. I hope they made some inprovements to the 05 6.0l. The build quality was a marked improvement above what i was used to in a Pontiac. Probably because it was designed and made by Holden in Aussieland vice the US Pontiac. To me thou its really not worth the pricetag that is on it here. No way i would pay $40k+ for that car. Mebbe $25k-30k but not over $40k.

 

one of the most sleeper looking cars out on the market IMO.



aloha from the summit of *-^-Mauna Kea-^-*

 

^^^ yup...

 

That's cool as crap. I really like that car. Don't know if I'd buy one, but I'd love for someone to give one to me.

 

Isn't it more like $33k not $40k, unless there's crazy markup here like on the evo.

 

They have a crazy markup just like the Evo. Its ricockulous...

*=standard options in this price, price not including a 1,300.oo** gas guzzler tax
**= gas guzzler tax on automatic only.

on the weight issue,lol--the best case senario is the GTO weighs more by 437 lbs,
on the Worst case senario the GTO weighs more by 546 lbs.

BASIC SCORESare GTO 4 out of 5, Vette 1 out of 5.

Not to mention that the GTO is about $11,415.oo cheaper than the Vette. id take one anyday,lmao. and on the good side EPA results are the same,lol.

EPA: GTO 18/28, Vette 18/28


Bottom line if def pimp one anyday.

 

same Horsepower, same Torque, but 500lbs lighter. Vett please.

 

$10k more

Of course it's 500 lbs less it has 2 less seats and doors

 

Point taken. Both have 2 doors. But I'm a fan of the Vette's body style. Its about the pu$$y facter.
And I drive around in a wagon go figure.
