lol…I was just reading this on [cnn.com](http://cnn.com). "The other problem is that, particularly when equipped with a manual transmission, this car does not like to be driven slowly. Not even a little bit. The problem is a close-ratio six-speed transmission with a sloppy, widely moving shifter. It’s a lot easier to get to the next gear in time if the engine is revving like mad before you try to shift. snip… **As long as you keep driving like a nut, though, it’s just fine.**" lol, they got that so right… Full article: [http://www.cnn.com/2005/AUTOS/carreviews/07/18/muscle\_roundup/index.html](http://www.cnn.com/2005/AUTOS/carreviews/07/18/muscle_roundup/index.html) ---

That must be the reason almost every GTO driver, drives like an as$hole. Just yesterday I got 2 flyby’s from people in GTO’s on NFB, then zipping in n out of traffic. I have had to0 many tixxx on that street to go chasing them. I would love to see how the crash test are on that car. ---

That article is dead on. You really do have to drive the GTO like a nut. I wouldn’t have a licence if I owned one. ---
