I drove my beautiful baby home last night (2005 Quicksilver M6).
Here are my initial impression
1) Holy ****! This thing has power to burn. The neck-snapping torque on the 1-2 shift makes me smile with giddy delight.
2) The seats ROCK. I have never had better lateral support on my back or thighs. My dad has a 2002 STS and the seats in the GTO put it to shame.
3) The exhaust note is intoxicating. I have been driving without the stero on to listen to the sweet small block music.
4) The corenering (even with the stock BFGs) is great. The car is glued to the road.
5) The interior room continues to surprise me. I'm a very large guy (6'-5" 290 LB) and I fit comfortably in the goat.
6) The steering is fantastic - there is no mush or lag. I feel bolted to the road.
7) The interior feels as solid as a brick.
Now for the bad:
1) The rear vision due to the B and C pillars sucks (compared to my 4-door GTP). This will take a little getting used to.
2) There is still too much fender above the rear wheels.
3) I miss automatic climate control (not a failing of the GTO, I just wish it was included).
Overall, I love the car. It's gorgeous and getting better looking every time I gaze upon it. And, what an engine!
