My Father In-Laws GTO came in to Lakeland Pontiac today, M6, Black on Black. Going to toss it in the trailer and bring it to the shop as soon as the roads clear up, dry storage till spring...:(

If he keeps it (big if) He's going to chrome the wheels and maybe ditch the spoiler, when he's not looking I'll put a set of springs in it.

I just want to drive it....:3gears:

OMG! A Freakin' FWD GTO???? :gay :rolf

Sorry but, thats like a FWD Chevelle or Corvette(yuck)

Dont get me wrong...for what it *IS* it looks ok...but, it doesnt stand up to the GTO name.

I ordered ROH wheels for mine. I still havnt driven mine. Can't wait for better weather. There have been a few at the shop so thats how I am holding out. One thing is for sure, the halogen projectors suck. I am planning on ordering Hella Projectors, bulbs, and ballats and having Caspers Electronics in Mundelien make a harness for a pretty much plug and play HID setup. To bad it'll cost $1200

The 05 will not have the LS2. It will only have a new hood and new rear valence with a split dual exhaust.

Sorry to bust your bubble, but the 05 will in fact have the LS2. ;)

Sorry to burst your bubble ... but you need to get your info from a higher source. The upper managment at GM has no intentions on putting the LS2 into the 05. They have been testing LS2's at holden since way before the first 04 GTO rolled down the line.

And I'm talking about the 2v LS2

Oh Ya, I think the 05's are going to have the LS1-1/2.......If you guys want to come play with me I've been makin' bubbles all day...... :eek:

Jon, I really like the Yellow cars, If I would have ordered one I would have done the yellow....Send me a few Pics when you get the wheels on. You guys figure out any free mods yet?

The ROH's will be rollin in about 6 weeks. The wheel centers will most likely be black chrome. I will play around with some heads and a big cam by July for the GTO Nationals ..... and build the new motor over next winter. 540 N/A RWHP is gonna be fun.
