Super User A-Jay Posted January 12, 2015 Super User Posted January 12, 2015 Right before I retired from the service I took delivery of a new 06 GTO. Added Minor Performance upgrades. She's a big time garage queen and a ton of fun to drive. Still has less than 25k on her. A-Jay 4 Quote
Dylcook91 Posted January 12, 2015 Author Posted January 12, 2015 That so funny you say that because another reason I got the vw golf was because its a 5spd. I wanted to see how I like shiftin gears in a daily driver. My plan is to drive it for a bit then sell it, then I was gonna look for a 05-06 GTO. I want that LS2 so bad hahaha Quote

Dylcook91 Posted January 13, 2015 Author Posted January 13, 2015 The 04 GTO has a LS1(5.7) and the 05 and 06 use the LS2(6.0) which makes 400hp at the crank stock..the problem is they aren't that easy to find. HP is just like rods/lures...you can never have to much hahaha 1 Quote

Super User slonezp Posted January 13, 2015 Super User Posted January 13, 2015 I pegged you for an AMC Gremlin guy.. or a Pacer Quote
Dylcook91 Posted January 13, 2015 Author Posted January 13, 2015 I would definitely pull a bass boat with that pinto, you know if I could afford either of the two hahaha Quote
Logan S Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 My normal ride and tow vehicle for the Stratos is a Nissan Titan Pro4X. I try to be a car guy but I spend too much time fishing!! Let see if anyone recognizes my fun truck . 1992 Typhoon #2068. It lives in the garage these days, but back in college it racked up a good number of 'kills' on the weekends (when I wasn't fishing). Even back then I fished too much, my buddies would have to beg me to bring it out and not go fish...Like I said, I TRY to be a car guy . 1 Quote
Dylcook91 Posted January 13, 2015 Author Posted January 13, 2015 That's how it goes, spend so much time at work that the second i have a day off I don't wanna do anything but fish. hahaha everything else gets put on the sidelines...cars, friendships, eating, sleeping all of it. luckily I work 2-10pm everyday so I try and find time for my car before work, or you u know standing on the shore of local ponds.

Super User BrianinMD Posted January 13, 2015 Super User Posted January 13, 2015 My ride is a 2013 F-150 Ecoboost, has been a very good truck. Only one issue and that was being to quiet. Last fall added a K&N cold air intake and a Borla Type-S dual rear exit exhaust. Sounds better, runs better and gets about 1 to 1.5 mpg better than stock. Last highway run got 23.9 mpg, about 18 mpg normal driving. Not bad for a truck with 420ft-lb torque at 2400rpm. 1 Quote
Dylcook91 Posted January 13, 2015 Author Posted January 13, 2015 Not bad mpg for a truck at all. My first car was a 93 ford ranger with a 3.0 V6 it was terrible on gas 16mpg I believe it was. Quote

tholmes Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 My plain Jane Dakota. She's old enough to vote, but she gets me to the fishin' hole every time Tom Quote
Dylcook91 Posted January 13, 2015 Author Posted January 13, 2015 Yeah I figured most here would be driving pickups. If I had to choose one it would be a 70's Chevy sidestep, such a sexy look truck. Quote
atcoha Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 My old 86 chevy...6.0 Powah!!!! Ran like a beast. Got rid of it awhile back, was fun. Got bored...will do another. Quote
Super User rippin-lips Posted January 14, 2015 Super User Posted January 14, 2015 Not really most of the older generations cup of tea but here was my 4cyl import. 94 Acura Integra. I built this car in a 2yr period of time. Bought it wrecked and had to cut and reweld a new 1/4 on it. Replace the door. Swapped ugly tan interior out for charcoal interior. Plus all the other nonsense. Coilover suspension,3" exhaust,wheels,ect Just me and a some help from a friend or 2 now and then. It made 390whp on 16psi and 405 on 18psi. Small T3 turbo but full boost was 4k. Forged pistons and rods,stiffer springs and retainers in the head plus bigger cams. Engine bay was tucked. Brake lines and wiring were ran differently kinda out of the engine bay. Engine harness was lengthened,shortened,ect to be able to hide all the wiring. Power steering,AC,Abs,cruise were all deleted. Fuse box was moved to the inside of the car under the passenger side airbag cover so I could still get to it. It was very fun but I sold it to buy a boat. Never looked back since. Quote
