Old acceleration vid before a bunch of new mods, pulls even harder now:


Exhaust was Corsa, same RSC in the APR exhausts:

I came. I'd like to own a GTO one day, I've always loved them.

 

[D Griff]

Very nice, love the color and tasteful mods.

 

[PetrolHead]

Holy crap, that's awesome. I've always wanted this exact car, color and everything. Trade it for a MKVI? bummer.

 

[maxtdi]

Those are really nice mods!

 

[mk6medic]

Sweet car. It's definitely a muscle car though. Even lowered it looks high up off the ground.

Kept breaking

When I traded it in the trans synchros were on its way out, it was on its 2nd leaking diff, the driveshaft vibrated over 120, etc. etc....

Nice car! The biggest issue I had with this car was the lack of rear tire width resulting in less than stellar power delivery. Much like my current FWD GTI dilemma.

Look under the car in this pic and you'll see why I didn't lower it more. Longtubes are expensive and I don't like the sound of my expensive shit scraping on the ground :thumbdown:

Very nice! I had a '04 Impulse Blue M6 for 3 years. Loved that car!

One major downside to the GTO is not being able to put a lot of tire underneath it since the wheel wells are so narrow. Mine had that suspension rub on the front inner tires that had a tendency to shred the sidewalls.

With the 8.5"+35s on the front I never had an issue, with coilovers the clearance improves even more. But yea, I had 275s in the rear and that's the max before tubbing it. Makes me jealous of Vettes being able to fit 335s
