finally bought one
well after a painful 4 years of dreaming as i finished college.... i finally bought my GTO today!!
2004 black/black MT6 -- 56k on the clock and out the door for $14,900
sadly, i wont be able to pick it up untill later this week due to a recall on the tie rods, and i am also having the rear seats reupholstered because the stitching has come undone around the headrests exposing the pads. the only other downfall on the car is the suede trim is comming off the door cards, but thats easily fixed.
other than that, the car looks and drove well, and i'm thrilled to have it. so it will be nice to have a big muscle car to add to my current fleet consisiting of a '99 Passat, '84 BMW 633 and '83 BMW 320is -- i dunno what i'm gonna do with 4 cars but its nice to have a selection in the morning 
teaser pic:
--btw just to introduce myself since i've been a lurker on these fourms for a while, i'm TJ -- just graduated from Iowa State this month with a major in Com. Studies and i work for Interstate Batteries ---so if you have a battery question, ask me!!!

for the GTO they are listed as a dealer item -- but an MT-34 would fit just fine in there. Holden used an awkward size that isn't a common group size in North America --- any battery that fits will work fine so long as it has over 500CCA (our lowest is 590CCA)
the GTO i just picked up is running with an Optima battery currently - and for the record, I don't recommend them -- they're junk. that'll be coming out this month.

Thanks for the reply. Which ones are you dissappointed with, the Interstate or the Optima? I couldn't tell from your post. Again enjoy and post up some pics for us.

optima is the one i don't like -- i've seen many of them fail within a year of purchase. bottom line is, if your only using them as a standard starting battery -- they're not worth it.
i'll post up some pics when i take delivery of the car prolly thusday. the wait is killing me!!

Congrats on the Goat!
Be safe and take good care of her. And make sure you feed her ruststangs every now and then.
