Well after two years of constant abuse the tib is starting to fall apart. Its about to hit 100k miles and I decided its time to move on and get something newer. I decided on a 2004 Pontiac GTO. The color is "Yellow Jacket" and has the 5.7 LS1 backed by a T-56 six speed transmission. Power everthing, etc and also has black leather seats. It only has 14,000 miles on it and I paid about 25k for it. I will be selling anything aftermarket on the tib, then selling the car itself over the next few months. I will start another thread for that. Here are some pics:

Nice. My brother just picked one up as well with 24k on it and he paid a little under 16k for it. Way below blue book. Damn fast!

Let me know what you got for the tib!!!

My freind has a 2004 with a procharger and a motor swap to a 6.0. I saw that thing go sideways on the highway when he punched it. Scared the crap out of me. Nice cars!

I heard that if you add a CAI to one of those you gain like 20+ horse. I think it was on powerblock on spike tv that said it.

if you add a CAI and a cam you gain like 30. it's not worthy of the name Goat, it's a Holden that sold its rights to Pontiac and rebadged.

all i gotta say is if you can afford the gas on that, I want your job.

My brother was talking about a modified MAF they have for it that supposedly adds like 25hp. Its a fun car. VERY easy to get sideways
