HAN members know their s!i+! I have yet to drive the new GTO, local Pontiac dealers are currently taking orders, but none available for display. I did get a brochure, however. I am very impressed with the car as a whole. Glad to hear that GM has improved on the already great LS1 engine, and I can finally get a well made vehicle to go along with it 
I've got 50,000 miles on the Trans Am, have had NO reliability issues with the LS1 whatsoever. Since my Accord has over 100,000 miles and is closing in on 8 years old...I am currently shopping for my 'next car' Both the GTO and new Acura TL are looking tempting, the hard part will be deciding which direction I want to take.
Like I said with my opening post, it was pure luck and happenstance that I found the GTO on the street where I was just otherwise house shopping. It could have been anyone, I didn't do anything special. I just took advantage of the situation (yeah, like I was gonna pass up the opportunity to drive a cool car that wasn't in production at the time).
On another note, anyone get December's issue of C&D yet? Of course, they test the GTO, but I was dissapointed in their critique.... they seem to yearn for the overcladded, plasticated monstrocities Pontiac used to sell. They were very down on the simple design of the GTO. I happen to love it. Mabe it's too simple, but simple ages well. Not to mention, I'd rather have a car that doesn't scream "look at me!" anyway. Other than that, I think they liked the car. If any of you read the article, share your thoughts please.
