modded 05 gto
going to look at a (what looks to be a really nice) modded 05 gto with 41,000 miles on it.
asking price is 22,000. looks to be adult owned. what should I look for ?? not too familiar with the "newer" gto's. mods done at 36.000 miles. claims 600 hp. :attention Mods include: Procharger d1 Fast 102 intake Kooks long tube 1 7/8" Kooks cat delete mid pipes Corsa sport exhaust 58 lb fuel injectors Pulse star plugs Taylor plug wires 10.2 Custom tuned methonal injection system Bulit 4l60 trans capible of 700 rwhp by performabuilt 2800 stall Ligenfelter hi flow fuel pump Dual aeroforce gauge with mount in center dash Procharger boost gauge on steering column |
600 horsepower to the wheels sounds about right for that setup. Mine's at 450rwhp naturally aspirated.
Many naysayers out there about the 04-06's appearance, but having owned mine for seven years now, I have to say it's really a nice driving, well built car. Very quick too! |
As a quick gauge on market, I always check ebay completed auctions.
They show around sixty auctions for 04-06, majority haven't sold. There is an 05 with over $30K in performance mods that sold for $17,000 thereabouts recently. I follow these and many with performance mods are listed in low to mid 20's, but are a hard sell. The one you listed seems to have quite a bit more mods than many like the trans and convertor upgrades, ect. Most have a dyno tune/ baseline and post mods run and paperwork/printout... if he does not have, I would ask him/pay for it and take it to a tuner for one.. if buying for the performance claims. Good luck with purchase. |
I decided not to go look at it for now. I want to get more info on these cars. looking at the pricing on these cars the price seems to be at the high end. but it is 22,500 obo. I am thinking if it is super nice 19k would be a good deal. just wondering about the reliability with all the mods.

unless one finds the right buyer,mods seem to hurt with sales vs helping.
One reason so many have "demod" sales on speed equipment |
I sold a 05 with no mods except for street tune and it took some time to sell it, and the 24 ish young guy drove three hours...only one who looked at it. Low miles (14,000+) original owner car sold in 2012.
Mods or Stock, they are a hard sell unless priced very aggressive. Ebay is full of them not selling. Most buyers are young and many don't want to build it themselves, so buy "done". Look at www.LS2GTO.com to see what's hot / selling in classifieds. If I wanted big performance for low investment, for the money these are the ticket. Here's a nice looking/build 2006 Cyclone Gray with built eng at 670 rwhp in NC , asking $28,000 OBO..... http://raleigh.craigslist.org/cto/3979719987.html More Pics; https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?...1&l=0e9c69e4d4 |
Ditched the Gto idea. Picking up a really nice 35,000 mile 2000 ws6 firebird tonight.

I was going to suggest a G8, but you allready found a car. I don't much care for the new GTOs
