Latest development on Inner tire Wear:
 
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???

Come back GTO-Come back by ssguy69

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. ;-(

i don't think there is anything necessary at 25k but do not have the manual handy.... even an air filter might not be necessary unless you've been dirt-trackin . i think the plug service interval might be 100k. 50k on mine so far... fuel filter, naaaah.
(i change the oil every 10k to 15k, usually mobil-1-extended-service.
i've got valvoline syntec in there now and will change it after 10k.)

front suspension wear / Re: 25,000 Service 2005 GTO [mparis1] by elias

you are most welcome, mp! in other 05 goat news, I think my strut-tower/bushing-things have collapsed or something like that - symptoms matching exactly what has been mentioned by our ace GTO dude who *really* knows all about these cars. or maybe my car needs tie-rods after 50k of punishment on boston-area roads. i can feel the right front wheel wiggly/wandering/wobbling on bumpy roads, quite a contrast from the ford fusion i'm renting currently in Cali...
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!

NO LIGHTS by stormblaster

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.

CSI miami torrid red road rage guy by elias

no respect, i tell ya.
on csi miami they had the psycho road rage guy driving a 6-spd 05 or 06 GTO,
and the clueless doofus driving a BMW 3.
and it looks like the wrecked the GTO for real - no last-minute splice-in of a repainted 1982 4-cylinder camaro getting wrecked instead. torrid red is such a painfully bad color, so the ratio of good to crappy colored GTOs should be slightly larger now.
