Got the GTO out of the body shop.. New paint, suspension, rolled fenders, wheels, braided stainless brake lines, rotors, pads, powder coated stuff and other dumb ****.

The wheels are VMR VB3's 245/40/18 up front and 275/35/18 on the rear. Springs in the rear are King's and Lovells shocks. Up front BC Racing coil overs and their springs, endlinks and struts. The brakes are a stock 05-06 GTO caliper setup (13" up front 12" rear) with DBA 4000 series T2's and Hawk ceramic pads. The calipers were pc'ed Candy Blue. The hubs and carriers were pc'ed wrinkle black.

Gigiity, Spohn Toe Rods.

Do you have any track #'s for this beast? It looks great. What is the difference in the brakes from 04? Everything?
Kat
08-20-2013, 03:23 PM
Thanks guys! It's back at the body shop getting a few more things done. Basically fixing the crap that they screwed up.

Way. Best I had in it was back in 07 even with the stock paper air filter was 13.9@102. Never wanted to race it after that. Hence why I have the camaro.

Biggest difference between the 04-05/06 is the 05/06 got the LS2. The 04's got the LS1. Also the 05/06 got the c5 Z06 brake setup with 13" front rotors and 12" vented rear rotors. The stock 04's were solid discs in the rear and just 12" up front

Appearance wise the 05/06 got the different hood. Split exhaust out the back and different font on the gauges

That's basically it.

Are you putting the lower grill back in? The wheels look really nice!
Kat
08-20-2013, 04:00 PM
Yep but a different one. Still waiting on it to come in. Also have a refurbished set of headlights for it and prolly throw in a set of HIDs. Either way I gotta take the bumper cover off replace the headlights and install the grille

Weren't the tail lights different too?

Yup forgot about that. They got the black one. I've been wanting to get the VX tail lights or the CV8 ones. The CV8's are cool cause they are a blood red color.
Kat
08-20-2013, 04:58 PM
And the VX

Thanks for the info. I'll keep my eyes open for an 05+ then. 13.9 seems kinda slow though..how is the gas mileage 19ish?

Well considering the car weighed almost 3900 lbs with me in it. It's not to shabby. The 04s respond well to a decent OTRCAI tune and exhaust. Just those three things drop the 04's into low 13's. Where as, that's about where the LS2 cars start at.

Haha. Yeah I was in Oahu over the weekend. I'm sitting on the beach in Lahania right now, in Maui, waiting to go to a Luau, drinking a tasty rum and coke :)

Then again, I did drop the car off at the body shop the day before I left. Lol Maybe one of the guys took it up there to beat on it. Haha

Wow your car looks great! Those rims look perfect on that car.

If you don't mind me asking; what happened with you and UMI? I've always had good experiences with them.
