I don’t own one, yet, but my insurance agent quoted me somewhere around $130 more for my 6 month policy if I removed a 96 Geo Prizm and replaced it with an 05 GTO. ---

May be able to pick one up for 16K, with 15K miles, 05 (with the 6.1) lol @ beck, balls slow? they run mid 13s, bone stock. Not to mention they are drifto monsters… and are pretty ok handlers for their size. Progressive can’t quote me anything because I have some issues with my address, so I’m just wondering. EDIT : they also have some great brakes for 05 and for 16k, I don’t think i can beat the price. ---

yeah but it still went down compared to a V6. For perspective, it’s the cheapest of 4 cars on the policy, with an 05 vette, 05 CTS 3.6, and 04 avalanche. ---
