It's still out of reach financially, but I've already started looking. Candy apple red with black interior and a 6 speed, yes please..
go to carguru.com and punch in 06 gto there is one in columbus ohio exactly as you described for 19,000 w 27,ooo miles on her. 6 speed manual ,one owner ready to go! thats what got me to start this topic in the first place. oh well we live,learn, and should always be grateful for what we do have.

Id rather have the monte. It a much better looking car. My sisters boyfriend has an 06 GTO and Ive driven it a few times. The thing is a beast but Not much of a looker imo. The monte is more sleek a I like a car with sharp lines so that just could be me. And plus, a 5.3 is better than my 3.8 haha. But in al seriousness, 400hp+RWD=NO SNOW DRIVING. Id want something fun and dependable

I think the Monte Carlo has better lines and a shape like nothing else on the road. To me some of the GTO's look kinda plain. They are nice cars with good performance but I just like the monte better. I would take Mike's for a spin around the block tho.

Monte does have better lines but the GTO looks great too especially in white, might repaint mine white & lol Lou alot of ppl would like to take it for a spin but so far ive only let one person drive it & they have put more miles on it than me
