I have always been a GTO fan since I was little and parents drove Pontiacs. My brother restored GTO's and Lemans cars for years, and I loved every one of them.
I never had a GTO before, but has driven brother's 1970 with Ram Air and 455 , 3 speed his hers shifted auto for about a year before it was sold. Only pontiac I had owned was a 1980 GP Dark Maroon with a 301.
Now that i'm married with a daughter, I am awaiting an worker's comp settlement of 2 years with a fractured right knee,

and with the cash, i'll put down on a nice place, and then scout for a nice blue, yellow, or red 2004-2006 GTO with the manual tranny.
Now, I have read on Car surveys

that the GTO was everything from dead reliable with no problems, to OMG the car SUXXORZ and will not buy american, only Honda.
So I came here to where the experts are. I am fairly reliable at keeping things maintained and don't drive like a moron sideways at 90mph on freeway onramps, ... well not on sundays anyway.
Opinions, feedback, or a slap across the muzzle to shut me up?
