Bought the car February of 2014 with 37k miles and completely stock, currently sitting at just under 54k. It's making 432whp and 398wtq and tuned by Horsepower Addicts in Saint Georges, Delaware.

Probably forgetting a few things as well.
The car does have typical GTO issues. The rear seat stitching has busted at a seam by the headrest on the drivers side and the rear quarter window trim shows wear. This isn't a quiet, comfortable car. The suspension is stiff, the driveshaft will clunk, and the twin disk has typical twin disc noises between 1000-2000 rpms. That said, this is a fun car. Very flat torque curve, surprisingly little body roll for a heavier car, and brakes that really do their job. Overall the car is very well rounded.
Looks really good and it looks like you have it setup well. Ever ran at the strip, and if you did what did it run?
What's next after this?
Are you selling this, or just showing what you have done to it?
My first car was a 66 GTO. When the manufacturers were bringing back old muscle cars I could not have been more disappointing in this body. There was no resemblance to any GTO. They never grew on me.

I also was hoping for something that remotely looked retro when they came out. I think they made them look too much like a grand am and while the components of the car were awesome (ls motor) they just look too small, and car rental type body for me. Shame they couldn't have done more with the look of the car to support the greatness of the drivetrain.
R u wanting to trade for cobalt?
