Not. Gas is getting ******* ridiculous. I do love me some goat though. How long have you been paying on your car for? Is there almost light at the end of the tunnel or do you have years to go yet?

I'd stick with the BAlt, then once it's paid off trade it in for an EVO.

Get the Vin off the goat , i'll look up the claim history from GM. I'd buy the GTO myself as long as it's a 6 speed.

damn dude. I am a sucker for a goat. I'd probably do it. But with all the gas prices and craziness, I have to admit I'd be double taking. I'd be torn to do it or not.

If it was an LS2, I probably wouldn't even think about it though. I'd be driving a goat.

Is it the red GTO at Hove in Bourbonnais? If not you might want to check this one out, its a 04 with all LS2 panels such as the hood/Grills/Rear bumper. I was also told it has a cam and they are asking 18k also.

Tough choice. Bro had a 04 goat but it was a lemon. I personally love them. But his mpg sucked. He was filling up every 3 days. Money wise, keep the balt. Save $ on gas. Performance wise, gto hands down. But you gotta think, which will you kick yourself for more? Spending money on gas, or passing up a gto.
