Next Cars

[LowRidinCrew]

So I'm checking out cars still since the Unibody needs some work on the Prix, I wanna save up to $3K and get a Bank car loan and talk down the dealer $2000-$4000 off since I'm going to have "Cash" depending on how the process is with Key bank and I'm thinking about a 2004 GTO Base model, Mulberry Purple and of course the V8. Anybody hear anything good/bad with them? I see the mileage is the same as my Prix at the moment. 16MPG

[Fivefingerdeathpunch]

04's got the 5.7, which is slower than the 6.0's but still plenty of power and some good fun.

[sLpGPGT]

if u get manual mileage will improve but IMO stick v8's are true boss status haha, but u mine as well save up few more G's for a LS2 GTO (05 06), but both cars are fast and sound badass

[JDrach]

I would love to get this 2005 GTO, but i dont know if i should just mod my GTP for less, or spend 14k on a GTO (making monthly payments). Its auto too.

[sLpGPGT]

spend 14k on a gto and mod that haha

[JDrach]

Ha like a part time could afford that Well i could monthly payments but yaaaaa would be paying my dad for years haha. Thank god for summer's extra hours.

[sLpGPGT]

haha i hear ya, i got part time job to, which is y i went with the car i have now (love my car to death tho) cause i couldnt afford insurence and gas on a LS2 GTO, but in a year or 2 ill get a gto of my own, when i get my career started and get my 2nd job

[JDrach]

GTO isnt that much worse in gas. I hear people saying they get 17-19 city driving and mid-high 20's highway and low 20's mixed. Not that much of a difference from my GTP i'd say.

[sLpGPGT]

yea but it will drain faster cause of the moar powa haha, my car gets like 15 mpgs, i have no idea wtf thats about, idk if the sensor is bad or wat

[JDrach]

Ya try checking the 02 sensor. Or chop off that lead foot of yours

[sLpGPGT]

its not the foot trust me, even tho i do speed im not slamming it all the time for it to go 15, besides when i got the car it was at 17, like common yo it was supposed to be 19 20

[LowRidinCrew]

its kinda hard to find gtos now, all i see is base model 04's

[sLpGPGT]

not if u expand ur search and up to cost to 20g's, also depends were u live

[jteske88]

yeah before i got the gxp i wanted a goat, had found a few in the area. all 6.0's but since there was hail in the area recently about 30 cars i looked at had dings and were on a hail sail but thats why i sold the 97 a few dings, and busted windshield of course. my uncle had an 06 and there is a difference in them cars. hold out for what you want man

[LowRidinCrew]

i had a unlimited price range but I'll expand my area search

[siLversLeigh]

04's look like cavaliers, get 05+

[LowRidinCrew]

Its 1 05 thats close but has 120K

[SgtMarshal]

I would definately reccomend to get the 2005+ with the 6 speed manual. the rear suspension is a little soft but you wont feel the need to mod it as bad because of the 400 hp stock LS2. I've been looking at getting one myself and from the research ive done you can get a decent milage 2005 for around 15000

[ctracer]

or you can even look into LS1 f bodies. 98-02 camaros and trans ams.

[siLversLeigh]

I know I'm going to get flamed by 02ws6ta for this buuuuuut..... 05+gto>lsjuan f body

unless you planning on going fast in a straight line anyways.

My buddy has had 3 ls1 fbodys (currently has 2) and a 06 gto. Besides the extremely boring exterior of the gto its a lot nicer of a car.
