So i decided that it's time to let the LS sit for a while and purchase a DD.(LS has 154k miles) Was looking at 05+ mustang gt's but soon realized I've wanted a GTO since I bought the LS. So last night, I went and picked up an 04 goat. I'll get more pics up as soon as I get a chance.

04 GTO bone stock 50k miles w/powertrain warranty til 100k

only current LS issues: rough start, passenger window off track...

GTO's are sick. You can get the 04's fairly cheap since they have the LS1 and the 05-06's have the LS2.

I LOVE the gto's and that is a very good choice to go to from the LS but yeah any plans for mods

How is a GTO more of a daily driver? Don't they have a gas tax on them?

They have better mpg ratings than the LS I think. That is if you can keep your foot out of it. :D

M6 or Auto?

I have two friends with '04's, one is a Impulse Blue automatic and the other is Pulse Red M6. Before my recent LS purchase I was seriously considering a GTO but decided that I needed more luggage space for the occasional family getaway.

I have another friend that had an '05 Mustang GT, and now has an '07 GT500. Both are nice cars and the GT500's power is amazing, but I still like the "feel" of the GTO. Just seems like a nicer car all overall.

Nice choice.

What mods were done to the LS? I dream of getting a Black GTO, i am just allergic to car notes. I would rather spend 350 a month on porn and liqour! (not really!)

Nice score! Being that I have a kid in a car seat, I'd opt for a 4 door (Pontiac G8 GT screams at me every time I pass by the local dealer), but I've always liked the GTO.

I know of another previous LS owner wanting to pick up a goat.

I've seriously thought about getting an 06. I really want a terminator but if I can get the GTO cheaper I might get it instead.

I'm keeping the LS just because I can't part with it. And i wasn't even going to ask what i'd get for it...

this is a 6 speed, 05-06's are going for around 4 grand more.

Pete, g8's are sickkk too

First off, nice!

Second, you REALLY need that thing detailed. Look at the scratches/swirls in just this little section:

How far are you from Kyle?

Kyle? Yes, I'm embarassed to put that picture up, but I wanted the logo. I don't know how the dealer hired a detailer like that...

It's typical of ANY dealership "detailer"

Kyle is member KD00LS. He lives in NJ, and is a detailer. Should be able to get that vehicle shiny new again!

At least a TON better than it looks now. All depends on how perfect you want the paint.
