Default Goodbye Bonneville - Hello GTO

Well everyone, the time has come... I've decided to sell the SSE and purchased a 2004 Impulse Blue Metallic GTO 6-Speed. The Bonneville has been an AMAZING car over the past 5 years, and I really hate to let it go, but with the GTO and the Jeep, its the low man on the totem pole. :(

If anyone is interested, it is still for sale actually.. '95 SSE, Grey/Silver, black leather, LOADED. Those of you on this board that know me know that I have taken IMMACULATE car of this car while I've had it.. Alos going with are are the factory service manuals, ALL oil change records (every 3k), maintenance records, etc.. Recently has brand new BFG Touring T/A'* as of June, and ALL new Struts front and rear as of March. Also includes Viper Alarm System and Remote start... Asking $3,500.

To see my new GTO, here it is:

Maybe I'll build a HTML for sale page real quick and post it in the For Sale section.

Thanks everyone for being so helpfull on these boards over the years!!

Chris! You gotta hang out! We've been hankering for a good review from a GTO. You ARE the man to do it!

For the rest of you, Chis'* Bonneville is GORGEOUS!

The pics might go down for a sec, I'm uploading some new ones. Check back in 10..
Thanks for the comments, I've had it about a month now, its got just above 1,000 miles on it now.

So far, I LOVE the car. Its just absolutely amazing. I'd be happy to write a full review up for ya or answer any questions you guys may have, ask away!

No mods yet, however I did just order a Predator Programmer from Diablo Sport:

http://www.diablosport.com/U7193.php

Should be good for at least 50 HP, and thats been proven from the guys on the GTO forums. Next will probably be a K&N Cold Air Intake (arent many others out yet), and a SLP Loudmouth Cat-Back system.

Even stock though, this thing is amazing to drive.. I can chrip the rear wheels between 1-2nd AND 2-3rd, and thats bone stock.. Since its primarily austraillian (They are imported), and the same EXACT car has been out over in Austrillia for 3-4 years now (Known as the Holden Monaro), the bugs are pretty much worked out, for the most part..

Hopefully I can sell the Bonneville to someone who I know will treat it as well as I have, it deserves it...
