Former or current GTO owners

So I have decided to get a 2005 or 2006 Pontiac GTO to replace my first love, 1985 el camino. I was wondering how many owned or still own one. Please post pics of your beautiful GOATs.

I had an 04 Yellow Jacket and an 06 Brazen Orange. Both 6 speeds. Great cars, but the Camaro has always been my in my blood. Sorry no pics, but you will love that car.

I was thinking that too. But I have seen some really nice looking ones with a new bumper and new set of wheels. I was hoping to modify before the next camaro fest and maybe get to meet everyone.

Have you thought about the G8, also? I don't know why, but I like the look of the G8 a little better. It just looks mor aggressive to me.

Yeah I looked at the G8 but used ones I found are just as much as a Camaro. The reason why I want the GTO is because I have found reasonable priced ones and the performance out of them is awesome. But I do agree with you about the G8 looking more aggressive.
