Back In A Gm Fullsize

Scyry · July 30, 2007

Got a Tahoe for a daily driver/ winter vehicle.

Still got the goat, but now can go for more mods on it and not worry about snowy days.

My first slush box. Never, have owned an automatic, but oh well, too good of shape, very clean, low miles (85,000 ), and price was right. Already modded too, Flowmasters, new 32x11.5 BFG Allterrain TKO's, tinted. Now to get it here from California.

My Mom told me to take her time and something about driving it to work all next week to make sure "everything is ok"...

I think she misses her 93 she had that was basically the same.

Looks great man

Now for an off-topic question...Was it possible to buy an '05 or '06 Goat in IBM without the blue interior?

Yes, mine has a black interior actually. There was 326 05 IBM's with a black interior and 810 06 IBM's with a black interior. The blue interior is nice, just a little too bright for me. Everyone here locally that has it loves it though.

Cool, thanks...I'm contemplating getting rid of the SS and getting an '06 GTO. MUCH cheaper for a toy.

But that blue (or red for that matter) interior is quite the barfer to me. Seems too ricy.

My main hangup is that my 4800 lb truck handles better than the two GTO's I've driven, and one of them was brand new...All I've got done suspension wise is Hotchkis sway bar and bushings.

Hotchiks Sawybars for the goat and some springs and you'd be way better than the SS. Stock suspension is crap on the GTO's. The springs on many were overloaded and damaged in transport from Aussieland. The struts on 06 are notorious for going bad. My next mod for the GTO is going to be suspension actually. www.ls2gto.com is a great site for info. And you can save a lot of money getting a slightly used GTO. Dealers are holding on to what they have left of them atm.

Forgot to add, the GTO is the best purchase I have ever made...

I signed up there about a week ago, and I've been closely watching the for sale section to get an idea...Or maybe a new ride

If I time it right, I could get a GTO that somebody has already done the swaybars and springs I'd just about have to have the same blue you have though...Or the orange, those are pretty slick too.

I'd take just about anything pontiac currently has in that orange.

Not without a big honkin' motor in it.

Scyry · August 1, 2007

I know this guy is asking a little much for the car. Plus you live in OK, but he is a local guy here, and the car has very nice mods, without going over board.

06 Brazen on Craig's List

He has the Pedder's Track II suspension, and long tube headers, torque converter, plus a few other things. Not sure if you are looking for an auto though.

Wingnut · August 1, 2007

That's a VERY nice car...But I'm looking for about 10k less than that. I can get in a brand spankin' new one for quite a bit less than he's asking.

And I'm looking for a manual anyway

I'd have to get rid of the SS first too.

Scyry · August 1, 2007

Well you can't have mine.

I'll keep an eye out for one too. The best spot to watch is the for sale section though, especially if you are willing to go a little ways to get the car.
