Greetings everyone. I hope this car is as good it looks. I really like a lot of the features, the ride, and the overall fun I've experienced with it so far.
I'm coming from a 2004 GTO to this only because the GTO was getting too expensive to repair/maintain. It need a new differential because a stealership decided to re-use 3 torque nuts that can only be torqued ONCE when i had a clutch changed under warranty. Replacement rear end from the dealer is $3K, and trying to prove they screwed up is a legal battle I could not afford to mount. The T-56 Needed to be rebuilt and that parts kit alone runs $800. A decent performance rebuild runs in the neighborhood of $2500. I had already invested $4500 last tax refund season in the driveline, clutch, radiator, and a few other things.. The suspension needed new bushing all around, and the good stuff was going to cost around $1500.
I was just simply out of money. So.. Away she went with a tear in my eye and weight on my chest. Loved the car, but it was time to go.
I hope this car gives me the same level of enjoyment as I had before.
