Question for late-model GTO owners (ie-Ken), I want a new car.

[Blevyou know]

I don't want a FWD. Thats a powerful FWD though! I am going to take my time on this decision, so your ideas are appreciated and taken into consideration.

Thanks

Oh yeah, Leather has to be an option... so no STI. The new WRX comes in a limited package that has leather, sunroof, blah blah blah, but the STI does not.

I dunno, man. Wolfman's GTO melts if it gets wet. I think you may have to cover it in plastic if the weather turns grey. Just a heads-up.




















Sorry...I couldn't resist.

I agree 100%. My T/A has never seen any inclimate weather, nor will it.

I'm just jelous. I have to drive my car in all kinds of weather, being that it is the only car my wife and I have. Zaino is my mobile garage. More power to those who can pamper their cars! But I reserve the right to rib them when the opportunity presents it'self.

Yeah, I also agree. I got caught in the rain once or twice in my T/A and hated the feeling. I think, I may just have to wait, hold on to this vehicle and save so I can have a nice daily and a nice fun car....

I spoke with a couple of GTO owners I happened to meet at my son's school. Both were, ahem... women. They are using them as daily drivers and are very impressed with the overall car. They have the same opinion of the back seat. I still say that's a small price to pay for a nice daily driving play toy. Heck, my T/A was 30K back in 97.

And just when I had my mind set for .... ta-dah... Joe brings up a great point.

Screw the rain...

Have you considered the Pontiac Grand Prix GXP? It has the 5.3l V-8 with 303hp and 4 doors. If backseat space is a concern, it may be better suited to your needs than the GTO. Just a thought...

If you go with one of the 5.3 FWDs, make sure you get the extended warranty because you will be guaranteed a transmission overhaul in the not so distant future. The 300C and the Charger R/T are vastly superior in every way.

I loved the GTO on test drive, and since it's a dog getting into the backseat and not a person, that's not as much of an issue. Just get something to cover your seats.

[wolfdogs]

how can you say no?
