I like the convertible but I don't trust the seller since it says for sale by an individual and there is a dealer inventory tag hanging on the key in the steering column. They all look like nice cars.
but if you cant talk her into letting you fix the truck, either the GTO or that last vette! :thumb:
the only one with a 6 speed!
the 05 C5 for the win or the 01 hard top
vette ftw
Meh everyone has a vette, get the GTO

I would go with the vette. The new gto shouldn't even be called a GTO. Much less the Greatest Of All Time.
Well I drove the o1 vette. Pure garbage. Needed bearings A/c numerous paint / fiberglass problems. Wheels were pitted from lack of TLC. I drove the GTO and well it wins. I am real close to buying it. I won't mind my truck sitting for a little while if I have it to drive.
The convertible vette is a dealer vehicle. The salesman did the add on his own.
my nieghbor is selling his faded yellow 87 vette for 4500 want his number :LOL:
I wouldnt mind having an 05-06 GTO with the LS2. That would be a nice litle car to get me to and from work. :)
Yeah it will be. This one will be mine in a few days.Quote:

I used to like Corvette's then I had to put a C6 on a hoist, my distaste grew, I've grown tired of falling into them and feeling so low that if I hit a speedbump there's a good chance I'd lose my genitalia. There fun to drive but the novelty soon wears off
I have wanted one my whole life. When I drove one that had some miles on it and door dings that chipped fiberglass off I just lost a lot of interest.Quote:

I guess all the C6's need to go to Italy cuz they look like a Ferrari. Times change and so do designs. Personally I don't find anything with an LS2 a disgrace. But some like looks more than power. To each their own I guess.Quote:

In fact, I was stoked when I saw the concept and I would have done what it took to buy one if they had came out. my complaint with the new gto is that they took a car that GM makes in Australia and put a LS1 in it. Then when that model wasnt doing as good they tried beefing it up with an LS2. The problem is that they took a car that looks like a Grand Am and a Honda Accord mated and slapped a GTO emblem on it. They should have done like they did with the Camaro. Make a new car that looks mean and sleek, add in some retro styling mixed with some futuristic style. Instead, Pontiac did like they have done for the past 30 years and half-assed it. They didn't want to produce something totally new, they just wanted it to be new to Americans. In 1964 when the original GTO came out it was innovative, yes it had some of the same Pontiac body lines and style but it was the first mid-sized car to have a big block motor and it was FAST! Most of us in the classic GTO world despise the new disgrace. There are a few classic GTO owners that have one simply because it is a GTO and I too have thought about buying one for that reason. Truth is, I can't make myself buy a car that I wouldn't love. The new GTO has nothing in relation to the old one except big power in a small package. To each his own and I'm sure the owners of the newer cars love them but I hate them and that's all I'm saying. I'm not trying to push my views on anyone, I was just stating my opinion that I feel very strongly about.
Well said. You caught the 2 main reason I like it. big power small package. I also needed a car with more than 2 seats. The f-bodys were horrible with rattles and clanks that would drive me nuts. I wanted some thing newer.Quote:

You've got that right. Fiberglass kinda sucks. Don't get me wrong, I like the idea of the new gto, but I'm old school. I LOVE my GTOs, I just draw the line at 1972. I can definitely understand the desire for the new ones, but I can't bring myself to like them.Quote:

Please compare and contrast the 53-54 Vette to the 55-57. They don't look alike and the V8 55+ is a better car to boot.
True, yet they still had a touch of Italian style.Quote:

your getting a gto thats an auto? say it aint so!! Look for a 6 speed.. Their more fun! I regret not taking payments of my stepdads 06 when i had chance before i bought this truck.. lol then again I'd be that much further away from owning it.. so im kinda glad i didnt.
Auto GTO's are generally faster than M6 cars when both are modded. I would like an M6 as well....
Signed the papers today. This car is going to be a daily driver. Thats it. I am sure it is going to be traction limited. Major mods required to put wie tires on. So I don't plan on any mods other than stereo.
My truck on the other hand. Once I have the house where I can stand to look at it. I will be doing the trans and maybe a 427 as well. Who knows. I might loose the bug completely.
