I figured I should introduce myself in here. GTO owner from Hopwood, PA. I autox a bunch with Habib. I haven’t really done any power modifications due to the class I race in, but I’ve done wheels, tires, and a full suspension to the car, plus some other little things. I guess I’m gonna have to put pittspeed on the list of regularly visited forums now 🙂 I’ll post some pics shortly. Dan ---

Yeah, I’ve only made it to one north hills event this season due to all of the traveling I’ve been doing for work, but I have been at 4 Steel Cities events so far at BeaveRun this season. ---

Not really a fan of gunmetal rims, but do those look sexy on your goat or what. You wouldn’t want to trade for a Mazda3 would you?? ---

Well, they’re actually black chrome and change color depending on how light hits them…sometimes they’re real dark, sometimes they’re shiny. lol. Sorry, I don’t plan on getting rid of the goat anytime soon, hopefully ever. And yes Matt, the ASA’s look great on your car, you know I had trouble letting go of them, but I needed something wider 🙂 ---

Thanks, you have some real nice rides there too! Some day I want a '66 GTO to have a '66 and an '06, but I think next up on my list is the G8 Sport Truck a year or two from now to replace my Sonoma. ---

Some day I want a '66 GTO to have a '66 and an '06, but I think next up on my list is the G8 Sport Truck a year or two from now to replace my Sonoma. I used to have a 2004 Quicksilver/Redhot 6 speed GTO. I got rid of it & then got the '66. Someday I plan to get another modern GTO (2006) to go with my '66. Similar plan.

Dan’s GTO is nice though, autocrossing that thing is like driving a really fast couch around the course :burnout: Going to have to give it another shot someday since the new suspension & wheels!
