2006 Spice Red Metallic Pontiac GTO 6MT
What can I say, I love these cars. The 05 didn't work out (long story), but I was lucky enough to find a leftover new 2006 SRM on the lot. I got an awesome deal and way more than I expected on my trade, so I'm down with the Goat from DownUnder again.
Spice Red is an awesome color, a dark deep red, not "arrest-me" red or bright like a Torrid Red GTO. I liked my Midnight Blue Metallic 05 GTO, but I love this color even more. Best thing about SRM is that it looks awesome when all cleaned up and detailed and even looks good when mildly dirty. My old MBM was a pain to always keep clean. It looked awesome immediately after detailing, but showed the pollen and dirt very easily.

o 6-speed Manual
o Smoker's package (not a smoker, but beggers can't be choosy)
o 18" wheels
None yet, but thinking about the following:
o RMR front bumper & sideskirts to give it the Australian V8 Supercar look
o Maybe a better downforce producing functional rear wing or the SAP wing
o Wider 18" wheels for 275 rubber in the rear; maybe 19" for extra room for BBK
o Cluster programmed
+ Shift light enabled at 6000RPM
+ HSV banner at startup
+ Daytime running lights indicator and actual lights disabled
+ Skipshift indicator disabled
+ "Holden GTO 2006" shutdown message.
Exhaust:
o UPDATE: StolenFox H-pipe installed (love the sound it makes w/ the Bassani)
o Bassani Cat-back installed.
None yet, but eventually I'll go with a full Peddlers setup.
Planned:
o AP-Racing or HSV BBK
o SLP SkipShift Eliminator
o Elite Engineering Oil Catch Can
o GMM RipShifter (Race) installed
Planned:
o UPDATE: actually, I could use some best bang for the buck suggestions here!
None yet, but I'm thinking about the following:
o Better stereo with video screen for DVD & Nav.
o Video screens in each headrests for rear passengers to watch.
o Self-dimming rear view mirror with Home Link
o Rear mounted (reverse) camera
