New 2006 Pontiac Torrid Red GTO - 0 Miles - PICS!!!
Hi all, new to forums, but long time lurker while I researched my buying decision. I just had my wife pick up a brand new 2006 Torrid Red GTO fresh off the back of the truck still in plastic wrap about 1.5 hours ago. I am away in MA right now (live in Austin, TX), so I cant wait to get home on July 1st and actually drive the one she picked up (test drove a Torrid Red one here in MA earlier today). I loved the car the second I drove it. In the end I decided on the Auto though as I will be doing quite a bit of traffic driving in it there in Austin. It was the hardest decision I made besides color but the Auto will be fine.
The looks are not the best IMO, but the overall package and value is hands down awesome. From 2004 the look has grown on me and I am sure it will continue to grow on me more, but I still love this car.
Just wanted to introduce myself and start with the changes I want to make with the car.
I already have a car puter system sitting at home to install into this new car. Weird enough I was going to install it in a truck I recently purchased, but chance reared its head and the GTO came about as well, so now I need to get ready to install it in the new car. Should be done the weekend of July 8th. I will post the worklog here as soon as I finish it. Yes it is an Intel Mac Mini install and I know some others here have done similar installs. Cant wait to get that all done as well.
Only question since it is the only component I dont have yet, where do I get a good dash kit for installing a third party stereo. I have looked over at crutchfield and searched through this forum to find an actual kit to order but havent found something. Anyone?
I dont have pics of the car as I wasnt there to make the purchase and do the paperwork, but my wife is supposed to take some pictures of the car tomorrow when the sun comes back up and email me them so I can see it. I will post the new pics then.
Again, nice to meet you guys and gals and hope to learn and contribute well in this community... I am also on some other forums so yes that is me too if it says Mickey21.... Used to own a 97 Mustang GT and was set on getting a new Ford Shelby GT500, but the final word on the specs and cost just isnt going to be worth it after all. Hence my decision to get a GTO instead.
