Finally got rid of the brick and picked up a cherry, low milage, black on black 04 GTO M6. I honestly couldn’t be happier with it… extremely fun car to drive. I must say that I’m somewhat impressed with the power for a heavy car. Got in a few runs on the way home from the stealership aswell lol. God it feels good getting into something with some power again. Add another goat owner to the group

:repost:

oh, pics to follow… it has a cheezy decal that needs removing eventually aswell (as you’ll see)

welcome to the club…and here I just thought you were being polite when you said “nice looking car” when I met you.

I like it how once they discontinued them, everyone on here got one.

By your cheesy decal description, I assume its the one from heinrich? If so, that was really clean. ![http://images.cars.com/supersized/DMI/157169/4548A.04.jpg](http://images.cars.com/supersized/DMI/157169/4548A.04.jpg)

haha yup, that would be the one ^^

thanks for the compliments :)… I’m gonna more than likely keep her stock (or as close to stock as possible) for a while and see how it goes. Plenty of power for the time being

edit: a holden conversion would be cool though

edit2: oh, actually scratch that… first mod (and hopefully SOON) is a remedy for the wheel hop… launching at anything over 3K without destroying your clutch will have you chipping your teeth

HA! I was right!!

I pass that car almost everyday and say to myself, " who puts a decal like that on a GTO?" I was ~considering~ stopping in to to see what the price was on it. Dealer their name Brian would’ve hooked me up. 😛

seen em going anywhere from high teens, to high 20’s… depending on year/milage/ect

> looks nice, what are they getting for mpg?

my average is 15.7 lol :smash2: but it seems like you could actually get decent milage with the sixth gear on the highway (low-mid 20’s)
