6 gear I assume?
Those things are comfortable as hell inside

Yes it is a 6 speed, I was extremely suprised by the comfort and room inside.

It has been a fun car so far, I will see how it handles on the 28th.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Great job Jamie.
I drove (cough, flogged) a new GTO the other day. Awesome engine and super smooth inside. Very impressed. Fast!

A lot of people like to crap on them but I've always liked the new GTO. Congrats on your trade.

Sweeeet! Nice Holden. Apart from the fact that it looks no where near as good as the old GTO's I think it still looks good, and I'd love to have one.

Probably not, they wont make it go faster or handle better.

They are nice looking though!

You need some power adding stickers on that bitch. "LS1 Inside" ect. I'd get "Pontiac" across the windshield too that way if you forget what kinda car you have while driving you can just look up. Also so other ppl coming twards you know what it is. Theyre good for what 15whp?

No it wasnt me, I am not down in that area very often.

*********UPDATE**********

I changed the name to the life and times of a yellow GTO, and will use this as a journal for my car. So here come the new updates...


As most of you know my car got "hit and skipped" a few weekends ago. It damaged my rear bumper, quarter and pass. tail light. Not major damage just scuffs and small dents and a busted tail light. I have got some replacement tails OEM take offs, but I have not put them on yet, I am going to have them smoked first. Anyways here are some pics of the damage.

Also Friday when I was rotating my tires, I decided to bolt on my old Mille Miglia wheels I had for my BMW. What do ya think?

Wheels look great, but the tires are too small methinks.

And I don't have to restate the BMW center thing... :)

Jay
12-16-2006, 07:00 PM
What size are they? Look a tad small in that big wheel well opening.
You should get a fly set of 26" floaters. Or maybe those wheels that light up

They are 17x8 same as stock, cept they have a size too small tire on them so it looks really small. With the correct tire size it would look a bit better.

Jay
12-21-2006, 04:12 PM
So 26's arent uot of the question then..

I think it'd look good sittin on lipped black 18's.
There's a trans-am cruisin about that has some sort of wicked rolling attire on it. The front's are lipped but the back, damn, theyre deep as hell. Not to mention they look like theyre 11" wide
