**gtowndu** · 05-03-2006, 04:02 PM

Just introducing myself here. I live in nor-cal. I like fast cars and fast women. I really want to have an 04 M3 Vert one day (probibly not too far along in the future)because im in love with the E46 bodystyle and those things book ass! I currently own, and probibly always will own, a Pontiac GTO. It has all the boltons as of right now. Its a six speed as well.

Anyways, I'll see you on the forum

Welcome

Every so often a hater may come around, but as long as you are happy with being 'united,' nobody will demand that you drive a bimmer. Enjoy UB.

Yeah i was on here for about six months on another name but i forgot the name and password. I posted about having the same car and whatnot, just thought i'd re-intro myself.

Welcome.

Your GTO has some similarities to BMWs according to Motor Trend.

Surprise #3: The cabin has the sporty elegance of a BMW's. Four large analog gauges (wearing faces color-coordinated with the exterior paint) lie in a large pod behind the wheel; the dials and much of the interior are trimmed with a classy satin-nickel finish (as are the drilled pedals). The four-spoke steering wheel (with integrated audio controls) feels good in your hands and is infinitely adjustable for tilt and telescope--something we've been nagging GM to do for years. The center stack houses straightforward climate controls and that Blaupunkt audio system--a 200-watt, 10-speaker affair with in-dash six-disc CD changer. There's not a blob of bling-bling marring the cool, businesslike ambiance. Your $500 aluminum attache case will look right at home here.

Pontiac says GTO accelerates from rest to 60 mph in 5.3 seconds with manual transmission, 5.4 with automatic; run the standing-start quarter mile in 13.8 seconds at 105 mph (manual) or 102 mph (automatic). Top speed is limited to 155 mph to stay within the tires' safety range.

144 mph, not bad. USA Today says top speed is 155mph.

She's seen 170

nice mods and car, I didn't know GTO's engine were THAT crowded

**gtowndu** · 05-08-2006, 12:26 AM

The ls1 engine bay wasnt that crowded stock. I had to relocate a lot of things when I put the procharger in. That procharger is a TIGHT fit.

Edit: Might as well show my other major mod. I have a Boston sound system.

9853 Deck

2 G5 12 inch subs

2 Boston Amp's GT 28 and GT 42

On order: HID High Low and Fog Lights, Harrop Option 3 Shifter Hawk brake pads. Soon to order Vauxhall Monaro Style Tail lamps
