Test Drove GTO..Impressed

thecommish16 · 02-03-2007, 04:35 PM

I test drove the GTO and I have to admit it was impressive...the power is pretty rediculous even compared to my LS1 camaro. The seats were way more supportive and solid, the steering was tight as can be, and brakes were flawless. I have to admit I'm impressed.

Price WITH rebates was about 28750. not bad huh?

Do you own one??
If not, go buy it dude.

Beat them up a bit more Commish. I'd bet the dealer will be able to hit 28,000 if you are willing to commit now, or walk if he doesn't.

The GTO is definately impressive, it's also about 10,000 cheaper in the end than the TB SS3. Keep the Z28 as your track rat and beater.

Get one while you can, you won't be disappointed

I could definetly pull 28k from them...the dealer practically followed me out he door asking when I'd be back. They have had the SAME 6 of them on the lot FOREVER now...

I dunno...I'm undecided. I wish it had some more of those cushy features like Nav, sunroof, heated seats, etc...but performance wise, it's a monster. I was driving at 40mph and barely touching the gas to get there. Defiently faster than my Z28, and I didn't think I'd say that.

they had all black and one of those "blueish gray" colors. I REALLY want Silver with Red Leather. Think they would bring one in for me? I'm afraid once I start asking them to swap the price is gonna go up.

After test driving Impala SS, Trailblazer SS3, the GTO, and shopping BMW, I have to say theres SOMETHING about the GTO that feels way more fun and unique than the others. It's like a "club" that you join when you get one. The anti-everyone else club, LOL

That would be cyclone grey. I wanted the silver too, but I'm glad I went cg, it looks great in different lighting.

It's sweet...but GTO is made for silver and red leather..man that's some combination!! I just don't think I'll find it around here.

Yeah, the cyclone gray is a sleeper color, and on a sleeper car its almost lights out, 'cause everyone is going to (try) pass you thinking its a grand am. Good luck finding your color though, and if you can't find it, black is sharp as long as you're into spending time polishing, detailing, etc.

I liked the cyclone gray, but the silver stands out much more to me...personal preference.

I just have to make the decision. I have to admit, I'm most impressed with the power in that thing. It almost feels TOO fast. That;s quite a nice feeling, even coming from a 305hp LS1, it was much more powerful.

I may KEEP my 99 Z28....trading it seems like giving it away. What would you do?

I would def. keep her and just deal with a little higher payment. Unless you have another car, that is. I kept mine and use it to drive where I don't want my baby to go (ie parking lots, street parking, work). Keep that goat in the garage or driveway and drive it in good weather and on the weekends
