Default Ran into a GTO today

Didn't get a chance to run with him, but it sounded mean....He leaned out his window and told me I bought the wrong car. I said I guess I should bought a Sunfire like he did...lol....He agreed the Mustang was a better looking car...I told him after I get my SC we will see who got the wrong car...l[sm=closed.gif]

I have not even seen one yet in the Charlotte area. Any idea how their sales compare to the new Mustang?

I hear the sales are pretty disappointing. They didn't come close to selling the 18,000 built last year...sales this year aren't much better....I guess people can't get past the wrapping...it's a shame, the LS2 is a great engine.

We have two running around town now since they up'd the hp to 400. They seem a little on the edge since I bought my car, for some reason they need to go by my house and rev their engines to be noticed, hmm... The nice thing is the 350hp did about the same as the GT in 1/4 mile. With that being said some minor upgrades they should be fun to run against.

I think the GTO looks more like a cavalier, wait I mean a Cobalt, wait I mean a Grand Prix. Heck, who cares, they all look the same

How would you know if you did or didn't? They look so plain jane, that they blend in to the crowd. [:'(]

I've talk to a guy driving one while driving down the road. He looked scare to death it could of been the last years model. I heard they are actually slower than the Gt in the quarter mile and the 0-60 times. To me it looks like the little saturn couldn't hold up with all that giddy up and go.

There are two of them running around near my house. Both yellow. Only reason I know there are two cars and not the same one is because I have seen them both at the same interscetion. Neither person has shown any interest in demonstraiting the capibilities of the vehicle.
