Good luck w/the GTO. I thought very hard about getting an '05 or '06 (6.0).
Had they made a vert - I would own one.
I like the looks of them (even if it looks like a bloated Grand Am, or a previous gen Grand Prix).
The interiors are top notch and you should have a blast w/mods; reliability should be pretty good too.
I can already smell the rear tires burning!
