Default Bought an 06 GTO

Well, I went and bought an 06 GTO a couple of weeks ago and I tell ya this car has some nice power. The LS2 is an awesome engine. I'll probably have to do a little suspension work to get the handling where I want it, but this car is very nice. Here are a few pics.

Yeah unfortunately my wife decided that she wants to have another child soon so the two seater went out the door. Wish I would have known that before I bought it back in Oct.
I've never owned a domestic before, but I tell ya this car is awesome. It's not truely a domestic (made in Australia and imported).
The fit and finish of the interior is excellent and the 10 speaker system is really nice, too.

admit it.. you just bought a domestic car and you LOVE it. . ..GTOs have amazing interiors, its a shame that this is they last year.. hopefuly its not for good ... all of GMs cars and trucks interiors are on par with the GTO now

the great thing about the LS2 is that you cam it, switch the valve springs and tune it and you are looking at well over 400 rwhp through a manual easy

If you really want to see the pic...right click the "picture" then click properties, copy the URL, then paste it where u type in your web addresses. Then you might have to click the reload button, allot of BS but it works.

Nah no thanks I do know what the GTO looks like and it isn't a bad for for it money. I mean if I didn't want a sports car I would take it over the current Mustang GT. Who cares if it looks like a Grand Am on Steroids at least it a sleeper.

GTOs are awesome, with an amazing interior for a Pontiac. What gets me on that car is that they replaced the automatic climate control with the manual one for the US cars, and as one can see it’s the worst looking/feeling piece in the interior.

Looks like a frog...and wrong forum!

I love how the GTO's look. They're pretty damn fast too! Probably the only American car I like.

Got to love that Yellow-gold color and the front sits up real high to...the rear springs look like they have alot of rebound....

Gto are a nice alternative. When you have a family.

I wanted to love that car, but I just couldnt do it. Thats why I got the Z. I do love the interior and the power on that thing. If only they could have put a little work on the body...

Definitely one of the best cars for the money if you want a lot of power.
Looks are questionable, looks too much like a Grand Prix.
Too bad around here they depreciate like there is no tommorow.
