Good to see that at least some of us still check this forum. After three years of ownership I feel I'm qualified to attest to the greatness of this car. Those that have been whining about the styling for the past three or four years really don't know what they're missing out on. Before I bought my '05 I thought, why not give the ever-famous Mustang a try, so, since I already owned an '04 Goat, I thought, why not? So I did just that and ended up buying the '05 M6 Goat. When I decided I wanted another auto, I tried an '07 Mustang, and ended up buying an '06 Goat.
I expect Red70goat to show up any time now and regurgitate just how much these new Goats suck. But I don't know of a better way to spend 30k on a car. If you want smooth ride quietness, it's there. If you want the sixties muscle car sound, it's there. If you want to run ahead of the pack, you can easily do so. If you like attention, it gets that too. What's most impressive, though, is the car's long distance comfort. I drove my '04 from St. Charles, MO to Charleston, SC, (my hometown) stopping only twice for gas. No discomfort or aches whatsoever. Averaged 24.3 mpg in the process. And the car tracks straight and true without unnecessary driver input. Just a great car that I'm thrilled to have had to opportunity to own. Definitely looking forward to the next great GM coupe, hopefully a Pontiac.
