Just wanted to say hi new to boards. Just bought my first new car a 06 Cyclone Gray/Black leather automatic on stock 18's, on 4/7/07 a early B-day present for myself. Plan on keeping it stock and hopefully have it last for many many years. It is a eveyday car for me and living in South sub of Chicago means ill be buying snow tires! (Any ideas?) Thinking I might get away with getting 2 stock rims and put snow tires on them for winter and swap them out. I noticed the other GTO forum's and they all seamed like "what you have to do to your car now you have it" not a fan of that I realy like how you are more like enjoy it and if you want to tweek here is something.

Welcome,
New owner myself...
Got'ta admit i'm in the same boat as you. I bought a 400 hp car so i wouldn't feel the need to upgrade. But it REALLY does NEED like 200 more Hp..

. Mine is also a daily driver, (I'm in buffalo so I feel your pain). I would really love to keep it out of the snow, dont know how im going to do it. As for the forum, i found that this place is more relaxed, less trolling here too...

I think the GTO attracts competetive personalities who want the best performance. This results in a GTO "ladder," we non-modders are on the bottom. This forum seems to tolerate us better than others.

I bought aftermarket wheels and put summer tires on them. This allowed me to get wider rears, and many aftermarket wheels are cheaper than stock wheels. I kept the stock wheels and put winter tires on them. They are easy to swap out.
