Sure is better than the other cars you were considering. A Cadilac, Rob? Seriously. I have to give you props for a good choice. Just because you don't have a Lexus doesn't mean you have to stay off the forums. So don't be a stranger.

Chris

PS. My car is still faster.

Excellent purchase! I've always admired the stealth appearance, better than average GM switchgear, power and "mod-ability" of the GTO.

Best of luck with it in the future.

Nice! Is that the stock exhaust?

I have a friend who has the same car with headers and full exhaust...sounds like a friggin big block! Crazy loud, but bad ***. He also has a CAI, cam and chip reprogram. I'm not sure if did pulleys and I'm almost positive there is no internal engine work like the valve job you have.

His was dynoed at like 385hp (also the 5.7L) and he's right at a 13 sec 1/4 mile. I saw him get a 13.01 and that was on 18" wheels. I was impressed with the speed of that thing...

Of course he still can't touch me on my motorcycle

Very nice GTO. I really like the new GTO, especially once I sat in one, WOW. Everyone says that it looks too plain, but I really like it. =) Then again, I like ugly cars, like the original MR2 and the Grand National

This was my old car.

I had it listed for sale in the classifieds section here.
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...&highlight=gto

I was later selling the car on the GTO and LS1 forums for 20K since Carmax was giving me 19500 for it.

Rob could have saved thousands if he needed only 4 weeks earlier, oh well.

Enjoy the ride, I know I did. Sold it to start saving for a C6 Z06.
