I test drove an '05 GTO
and now I want one. Badly. If you've ever felt 400hp under you foot while being wrapped into one of the most comfortable interiors ever made, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. My impressions on these cars were "it's just a grand am with 400hp" until last night when my buddy let me drive his. Such a nice car. All that power is delivered at any rpm, something you'll never find in a 4 or 6 cylinder.
By the way, he just sold his 400hp WRX for this and I drove that too.. imo he made a very good choice.

I think you need to test drive a supercharged SVX

The WRX/STI, Evo, etc are a different kinda car. Lighter weight, faster reflexes and great power potential from their turbocharged powerplants. If that's your thing, good for you. I've been down that road before when I owned a 2000 SVT Lightning (360hp, 450ft-lbs) but it's not a road I plan to go down ever again. +1 on Earthworm's comments on driving a s/c SVX. Svxfiles' car rocks!!!

I know how you feel
I test drove an '05 GTO at the dealer not long ago. That thing's a beast!
And like you said, the interior is incredibly comfortable. I really want to pick up an '04 (yeah, its got the LS1, i know, but its the only year they offered it in yellow ). |

Hey, the gto is a hell of alot nicer than a mustang
Go for it Also a pretty freakin sweet car....The Dodge Magnum Srt-8. Bit heavy but the interior is well put together, the styling is as sexy as a station wagon gets (Besides an 05 legacy) and it lays more horses than (Edited for graphic nature) Um....430 horsepower

I drove a Magnum and my biggest complaint is you can't see anything out the back window.

Well, I guess I was wrong...
I'd defiantly ditch the "look I'm a Pontiac" bumper in favor of what comes on the Holden Monaro: And how about a nice twin turbo kit good for 600+ HP. And it's only $12k (AU I think). |

I was conceived on the hood of the last Pontiac my parents owned. Needless to say, we have rules about what happens on the hoods of cars around here now days, lord knows we dont need anymore of me running around. I want the new challenger thats not out yet. Its similar to the charger but longer and without the goofy body line (i think, i havent seen very many up close photos) I hope it comes in purple with a hemi They need to bring back the demon and stir up the bible thumpers again. (Built only in 71 and 72, bible thumpers were offended by the name and threatened to boycott dodge so the changed it to dodge dart sport. Not as cool IMO.) |

my fren had one 04 GTO V8 5.7 then he turbocharged it and got the dyno about more than 420wbhp. i loved his car. the interior is clean, simple and sporty. in my opinion, that's the best value for money you can get for a V8 sport coupe. it's a drag racing car more than an auto x car. he got one of the last for the autox rankings(too much power) i rode with him before, it rode so smooth, quiet. i told him his car was a king of the highway. 6spd crusing thru the west viginia mountain roads like a piece of cake. it was so easy and anytime get to 120, 130 till 160mph if you want ..
and, he traded his car for a lil slower but more luxurious performance SUV
