the new toy *warning late model*

was fartin around the other night found a nice clean hi miles 2005 gto threw my numbers out there got told yes. so will be going in 2-3 weeks to pick it up and drive it back! ever since the first time i drove one of these i fell in love with them. they are a pig when it comes to weight but i still know how to go fast:LOL::whacked:

i made sure to get an 05. the 2004 is the 5.7 ls1 also no hood scoops which can be made functional:D the 05 and 06 has the 6.0 ls2. and 2005 is the only year of yellow with the ls2. so best of both worlds for me:LOL: they still dont look as good as a 66-67 gto. but fun none the less!!

Great car. wish I had one as daily driver.

It may not be a "real Goat", but that is one of only a few of the crop from the past decade that ever got my attention. Don't let it get ya' in trouble.

:LOL::LOL::LOL::cool:

Movin' up in the world, Scooter! Good looking Poncho!

Remember, when ya want her to respond ya gotta talk to her in Australian..............

I'm sure she has a V8 Supercar spirit hiding in there someplace.

Is that why I said to myself....looks like our Holden Monaro ..... because they are build in Aussie ? Damn nice car and always wondered why they didn't do a rag top version.

i love holden machines what can i say! i like UTE'S monaros and the commodores which was a g8 pontiac here in the states. they make great autocross/road racers out the box. but i plan on going in more of a straight line with the oll gal.

if the monaro body pieces werent so much money to import and etc, id convert it to a monaro nose and tail just to be different!

and of course its a 6 speed stick!:toocool: and is there any other color? :LOL:

already have the mod list planned out in time but its just a list.

cam
headers,catless mid-pipes with magnaflow exhaust no emissions up here in the boonies!
have the heads cnc'd to flow 226 add a FAST intake and TB
and a whipple charger!:D

hey a guy can dream right haha.

Make sure you keep the emissions hardware stored. When you go to resell you'll be thankful you did.

Check your O2 sensor locations before you start cutting out cats, too. You might find that you have feed forward/feed back sensors, and without the cats the ECU may go into a 'limp home" mode that you won't like. Not sayin' it's true, but checking before you pull is prudent, and today's high flow cats aren't as bad as they're made out to be....

done it it before on these exact cars easy as a re-tune.

Post a pic of the rear end..(the car,not yours),,;):D so I can see if there were any changes in tail lights..It only looks like you need a front bumper,anyway..Headlights are the same.. In fact,a flash after market fiberglass front would make everyone stare at it..:cool:

heres a shot of a gto back side. the 04 had all red taillights, the 05-06 had the white/red style. found on google images not my photo!

Aussie tail lights will fit the holes..Just had to check..Will ask some questions for you about parts etc..Oh,,and Holden badges too,,cant NOT get them..

well will have to wait till next time. couple details of the deal just werent cutting it. so i had to pas on this one. thats alright theres always another one!

yup,,when it happens.....:cool:
