That being said, it was an excellent daily driver for the 8 months & 20K that I drove it. Aside form the paint falling off of it & an irritating, anonymous horn blow going around a bend, it was a fun car. My gripes about it? The trunk is useless, no dead pedal, no moonroof, stereo sucked ass, torque management, \*\*\*\*ty power seats (for rear seat access) and excessive tire wear. The things I liked? Comfortable, ran pretty good, stopped well, handled well, LS1/Tremec is an awesome motor/trans combo, and I actually loved how it looked. I personally like the 18" wheels on the '05s as well as the SAP grilles. The interior is beautiful, too. One of the best GM interiors to date. I would love to get another one, but don’t need a car payment anytime soon. > [@\<3 Fox News](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/3-fox-news/38982/2): > > LOL at the people saying GTO’s are garbage when they have no experience with the car or never driven one… or people that have “Heard” > > Todd had some issues with his, but I have never heard him say they are “crap”, Ask him yourself. > > I was torn between a goat or a C5… I went with the goat due to practicality and comfort, Its nice having an 11 second RWD daily driver after a few mods 😃 I read this after I posted. You are correct, I would never say they are crap. Still a better car than a turdstang or fbucket. ---

I dig the GTO’s … They took a long time to grow on me, but they did. Dylan on here has a badass GTO ls2 w/ the SAP appearance package … the nicest GTO I have ever seen personally. My expeirence with his was that it rode nice, handled good, stopped great, awesome power, and an overall fun car. The interior is badass as well ---

I have been looking at some other things, looked at a Mazdaspeed6, didn’t like it nearly as much. I don’t want to deal with imports for awhile. Although a LS1 swapped Torino looks like a fun project! ---
