Okay, I've had nearly a week with my new GTO, and you know what that means: I'm noticing all kinds of things about it, both good and bad.
That "bad" things are just the usual imperfections you find on any mass-assembled item: Little things that aren't quite symmetrical or that could've used a bit more attention to detail.
I'm learning an important distinction between imperfections and genuine problems, though: Problems merit attention and need solving; imperfections you just forget about.
The good things far outweigh any niggling annoyances. As I said in my last post, this is a good-looking car. It's always gratifying to drive something you enjoy looking at. It's also just plain crazy powerful. I'm going to have to buy a radar detector. Somehow, I was more mindful of my speed in the Vette. In this thing, I find myself well over the speed limit with regularity. I like the gauges, dash layout, seats, and the view through the windshield, which includes those neato-cool hood scoops.
Oh, and I LOVE the exhaust note.
