New Goat in garage...

Just returned home with a new '05 GTO...Quicksilver Metalic 6 speed...Black interior...sold '01 WS6 T/A 6 speed to get it...totally different handling qualities...much more stable in the corners...planted is how I guess I'd describe it...sit much higher and farther forward in the cabin than the T/A...

Mod's coming:

Exhaust
K&N Filter
B&M Shifter
Window Tint
Wheels & Goodyear F1 GSD3's

man, what a SWEEETTTTT ride.....................................

what's that? kawasaki?

'cause I have no idea what the f#%k you are talking about?
Is it a mountain bike?

Kind of like this? Very nice.

A Poonticrap

A good old Aussie car which we sell to you Americans. That's a Holden Monaro with different badges and the steering wheel on the wrong side.

Oh great! Bucko let the cat out of the bag.... Now ALLLLLLLLLL of America knows...

Sheesh!

That was my first thought with that photo, but couldnt see the front. I was watching Top Gear and in the UK its a Vauxhall Monaro
Still looks good though!

I think any time you put a Vauxhall badge on something it loses 20kw. Vauxhall Monaro just sounds so wrong.

Kind of like the Saabaru.

Not to take a piss on you or anything, but shouldn't this be in the General Auto Chat forum? BTW the launch of the new goat didn't go so well.....looked like a Cavalier on steroids.

That's a beautiful Toyota Solara

very nice ,, 450 rated hp.. with the 6spd ,, makes a great toy to slide around
have fun with it
i tried to import a Holden about 3 years ago ,, would have cost me triple just to put a cali plate on it

Nice car. Enjoy it! Don't mind the "Gee, not to take a piss" while taking a piss types.

My sincere apology. I never should have suggested putting car threads in the car forum, what was I thinking. I will agree though, it is a very nice car.

Phil is it okay if your new car is Yamaha Racing Blue??
The goat's got more h.p. but this one hypnotized me back to high school:

I have always been a GM guy, but the new Mustang is a grand slam in my book. That is a real beauty.

That's a beatiful car you've got there, Spooler! If I were buying a new Mustang, that's exactly how I would have it set up - color, wheels, driving lights, etc...

I hope you didn't pay the extra markup they're trying to get out of people around here!

(And yes, this should be in the Auto forum, but whatcha gonna do?)

[Wow, look at that! No sooner do I make that comment, then BOOM! Here it is in the Auto forum... ]

what brand/size wheels & tires are you running?

the GTO reminds me of a blouted $30000 cavalier ..nice motor and tranny though, just wish they had done something with the styling
