Hi to all from Saulster in Fairfield, CA. I have driven and love the GTO, now I am "shopping" to see about buying one. I have been reading a lot of very informative posts in the Forum and decided to join in and get a bit more serious about this.
A few newbie questions to get started - I am looking for some sales and modification providers, especially closer to Fairfield than farther:
1) Dealer recommendations. Dealer service department recommendations also appreciated - Who's good out there?
2) Shop recommendations. I love to drive but I am completely mechanically hopeless so even "simple" mods probably need professional help!
My initial plans include a skip shift delete and probably a ripper shifter install if I don't like the stock shifter after a few miles. Maybe then exhaust and intake plus tuning although the stock 400 hp / 400 lb. ft. should be good for awhile.
3) ICE / electronics installer recommendations. I have been spoiled by having "navi" and don't want to go without it. The General in it's wisdom does not offer it in the GTO. I prefer the "factory" kiind of installed unit in the dash, not the portable "Tom - Tom" or Garmin types. Any with specific aftermarket units installed and comments also greatly appreciated.
TIA to all for your help and information.
