here is my take, test drove both extensively. there was no comparison. the gto was much more comfortable, more of an adult car, better dash board, better looking, had the ls2 engine and less expensive. what cinched it was the width of the car and room in the front. if i ever have to deal with the suspension issues which i have not yet, i will. its still a very unique automobile and a great daily driver. rr70

Replying to: mparis1 (Jan 29, 2008 6:22 am) Took my car to dealer in brooklyn,ny...after buying new Potenza Tires . Showed him all the "BLOGS" on GTO Inner Tire Wear problems...also told him I wanted a proper wheel alignment ....he had a blank stare.......He said he will speak to Pontiac on the matter........Made an appointment for the following week. Following week brought the car in.....spoke to service manager...he said "pontiac has no comment" leave the car for inspection...Lateron, called me ...told me car needed new controlarms/bushings/bearings.........also wheel alignment......had to wait for new parts........2 days later picked up car.................NO CHARGE...............covered by warranty Here is the Rub: No where on my invoice did it say ....INNER TIRE RUB....JUST "noise in front end....car pullsto left" How about that??? Car drives great.....but for how Long???

I'm in mourning. I had located in Massachusetts a silver six-speed 2006 GTO with 10,600 miles. The dealer was willing to let it go for 24,750. I had never driven a GTO prior to visiting the dealer and boy what a surprise. The car is a power house! I felt like I went on an amusement ride after I test drove it. Right there my mind said: 'this car is so impractical - what!? with all that power- at a time when gas is so expensive' and I told the dealer no. Then next day called back said I'd take it, called another day again and said no and then called and said yes and lastly called and said no. In the end I went to look at another car (Acura TL) that I thought I'd like but I kept thinking about the GTO. Unfortunately the dealer had sold the car when I called. I'm now here in mourning. I'm gonna get a GTO because I'm smitten and it's a rare ride. Somebody pass me a tissue please. ;-( |

Replying to: mparis1 (Apr 06, 2008 4:29 pm) I suppose I'll consider pedder-izing the goat suspension if I can manage the logistics for that, and if the cost is similar to factory repairs/replacements. but probably I'll have the dealer replace whatever with the factory parts, because that's just how I roll. ps - vive la france! |

| I have an 04 GTO and my low beams do not work. The thing is, they are not factory lights, they are HID lights, aftermarket lights. Im new to the world of aftermarket accessories and I have a mess under my hood. So if anyone knows anything about it, Im open for advice. | |
