Ed congrats!!! It is a 6 speed I assume? How does it rate in comparison to a 4th gen Camaro? Good Luck with it. I know that you have been patient and have wanted a toy for some time. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: 2004 GTO
 

Just a thought on modifying the new GTO. Why do "unmolested" and "survivor" cars get the most $$$ attention nowadays? Because 99.999% of our favorite 1960s musclecars were modified by their owner(s) and "molested" constantly over the years. Nowadays an unmodified, unrestored stocker seems to be the hot find. Why do we call an unmodified stocker a "virgin" car? Because it hasn't been f____d to death by numerous owners. Think about it. Who wouldn't want a beautiful virgin '65 GTO today? Or a beautiful, untouched, virgin '69 ZL-1? Yeah, you can perform face-lifts and tummy tucks to your heavily-abused '69 COPO and have a valuable asset but the virgin stocker will always command more attention and $$$. Oh, and I've modified a few cars in my time, as we all have, but the virgin stocker has a past that doesn't nag at your conscience.

427TJ,

------No disrespect here but there will be plenty of stock GTOs around for those that just want to look at something with 4 wheels that has never been touched. I think the bigger crime would be to have had a car for ten or more years wanting to throw some more power at it and not doing so because you are scared it might somehow be worth less after you are dead and gone.JMHO!..........Bill S

Re: 2004 GTO
 

Yeah, I agree with your point too. Yet just like sixties GTOs, the new ones will be common (sort of) for years to come but someday they just might be the "hot" collector car. Then everybody will be climbing over each other to buy the stock, unmolested cars. It would be hard not to tinker with a '04 GTO though, especially with the aftermarket stuff that will be available. Maybe buy two? One to put in the garage and one to thrash. Yeah, that's it.
