Hi all,I own a beautiful Impulse Blue 2004 GTO that has 2400 miles on it.Maybe my expectations for power output were a bit too high because I figured that after the engine broke in a bit the car would really pull. Or maybe I have spent too many years drag racing cars in the under 11 second range and I also owned a AMG Mercedes and other performance cars over the years.
When I hit the hammer im telling myself where is the power? The car really doesnt seem to pull hard at all..so maybe I got a lemon. Im thinking of trading it in for a 2005 or another performance mercedes. Other than that I love the car except the defrost sytem in cold or rainy weather doesnt seem to work too well.The windows fog up badly like a car from the 1960s era. High blower moving the control dial to every possible configuration and doing every trick
possible doesnt do much good it seems.
I also have only seen exactly one other 2004 GTO on the road and I live in a large town.Where are the GTOs hiding? I thought that I would get a lot of compliments on the car but very few people even give it a first or second glance. A policeman made my day when he yelled to me ...nice car 350 horsepower right? I said yes it sure is!
Is everyone else satisfied with the power output of theirs? I gave a good buddy of mine a ride in it and I hit the hammer and he said..you got to be kidding when does it get up and run? Hopefully I got a lemon or as I said maybe I expected too much for a rather heavy car.Other than those things I love the car immensly.
So maybe I will start looking into a 2005
Thanks for your time
