i would think a judge is the next logicial step, probaly have a slightly detuned verson of the 06 zo6 motor and knowing pontiac some cheap bolt on body kit.SJAndrew said:The header pretty much says it all.
I have avoided the 2004 in favor of the 2005 (I cannot stand the euro-style non split exhaust). What's supposed to be new for 2006?
Hmmmmm...sounds like a cut scene from Interstate 76 :coolfffernan said:In 2010 after the Great War and the US is in a state of appocolypse it will come with machine gun turrets mounted in the front fenders.

I must admit my confusion as to what "non-split exhaust" means; the 2004 GTO does has dual exhausts, the tips are just side by side?SJAndrew said:(I cannot stand the euro-style non split exhaust)
I've seen 2 '05 Mustangs in good ole Indiana 2 or 3 weeks ago(yes on the street). I'm a GM man myself, but I like the Stang.Tom said:What is supposed to be new for the 06 mustang? the first 05 has not hit the street yet, and you think a bunch of punks on a web board are going to know what to expect for 06?
The two pipes exit right next to one another on the driver side on the 2004. In my opinion, this looks terrible.kevracer said:I must admit my confusion as to what "non-split exhaust" means; the 2004 GTO does has dual exhausts, the tips are just side by side?
That's a very good point.Rhino74 said:Man, cars are like computers and TVs in that if you "wait" for the new technology, you'll be waiting forever. My 2 cents is that the technological and engineering advancements we see in the automotive world are never going to stop. The 500hp Vette can get 28mpg on the highway and there are cars now that run on 4 or 6 cylinders when cruising, saving the others for when you get on the throttle. Who knows whats next? Space age, lightweight materials, more efficent cooling and lubrication, better tire traction, suspenion,braking, etc. At some point, you just have to bite the bullet and start enjoying what you have, instead of coveting what you don't.
That's a good point.TexasRealtor said:I'm not sure about the '06, but the '07 is supposed to be built in the US on some new platform. The "Holden" is a proven model with beautiful interior. The quality will probably suffer when we build them here. GM will probably start adding some boyracer crap on the exterior and cut costs on the interior. :shutme
Hmmm....I just enjoy driving my 04 GTO 6-sp and really don't care about looking at any plumes of exhaust in my rear view mirror.SJAndrew said:The two pipes exit right next to one another on the driver side on the 2004. In my opinion, this looks terrible.
I like the split dual style where you have a pipe on each side. I love the symmetry.
I love looking in my rear view on a cool morning and seeing two plumes of exhaust fog. I just think it looks crappy when it's on one side.
You do understand that you could get an '04 for $25k or less and buy a split exhaust system? Otherwise, you are risking that GM will deeply discount the '05 which may never happen since production was cut to match demand. I would recommend checking out an '04, adding in Vette brake pads, split exhaust, and a new hood and see how much you will still save over an '05.SJAndrew said:The two pipes exit right next to one another on the driver side on the 2004.
