Hi all,
Had my new '04 Impulse Blue 6spd for 3 days - finally quit driving it long enough to find this site
My, my, my, now I may not be the brightest car guy out there, but anyone who appreciates tight, good handling cars with, uh, balls has got to love this car!!! As a newbie here I'll be brief about how I came to buy this car. The wife & I had a white '00 TA 6spd convertible which we enjoyed immensely, wagon axle rearend and all. We went looking for another flop-top, but couldn't find a reasonably priced replacement with a real engine for less than $40k+ that we liked. Wife said sunroof would be enough (heh heh) so we dropped into the local Pontiac dealer & there sat their last '04 GTO (auto) in bright red. One drive & I was very interested in trying a 6spd. Dealer found one for me to drive & within 300 yds I was hooked!
No dummy me though - I made myself drive a number of other cars including the very nice G35 (too much extra & where's the *real* torque? ) GTO wins hands down over anything in its price range (and well beyond in in many cases) that I came across. Anyone else find a real competitor for this car (and please don't say the '05 Mustang GT as I drove one - lunkin' live axle and all)?
Next stop is the sunroof shop!
By the way - nice looking forum here!!
