FYI,
I hav been thinking about a C6Vette, but my last vette (1998) was so expensive to own that I thought I would consider something more practical and less expensive but with most if not all the performance. The GTO at first glance seems to meet those needs.
I went to a few POontiac dealers and heard:
"We dont have any, but we can get one for you - at full price, plus shipping/transfer fee"
Having been burned by paying full price for my C5 vette(minus a $500 discount from the dealer after I shopped around for two months) in 1998, I swore I would not do that again.
I test drove the GTO and believe it is a real performer - the 2005 version is really fast!
Local dealers wont give me any more than $1000 off MSRP - and that is iffy at best!
I will therefore not opt for the GTO - until they discount them by at least 15% (which is coincidentally the amopunt of $ you lose when you dirve it off the lot!
My option of a Corvette has not gone well either. Dealers will discount one they have in stock, which is loadd with options - i.e., $51,000 car is available for $49,500. I want a base model for 15% off MSRP. No takers so far.
I figure the GTO should sell for no more than $30,000 (including tax). I feel like the GTO is a $20K car with a $10K motor
