Go down to Pontiac. They are Selling the 05 for $40+ NOT the 04 price in the mid $30s. With that being said i would rather have the vette.

actually no, all the vette has is a tube that separates the bellhousing from the trans case so in fact it is the same trans/gear set,as it were. just in the GTO the trans case is NOT separted from the bell housing, it is one solid unit as it would be in a camaro or firebird.

It was a little soft...but I think it would be ok to pimp around in.

Yeah, you know I've noticed that at the track and watching vids. Somehow they are able to trip both white lights and then they do about a 6" rollout.

I know I've done it before but not intentionally. When I've done it, I've seen 1.7 second 60's. Don't ask me how, though.

I liked it.

That is all.
So did I.

One of my recruiters bought one and let me take it out...by myself. He told me to rip on it, um...so I did.
