I just came from my local Pontiac dealership and still have the grin to prove it. I drove a red 2004 Pontiac GTO with a 6 speed. All I can say is WOW! This car handles like a dream, and beats the Mustang GT hands down. No rattles or squeeks, and my only complaint is the anoying alarm that chimes when you go over 40mph. The dealer said you can adjust that or shut it off, but he didn't know how. It sounds awesome, shifts WAAAYYYY better then the GT did, and hugged the road like glue. I think I am going to wait, the word with the Pontiac crowd is next year a scoop (ala 67 GTO) and more power. Can't wait for a used one in two years lol. Anyway it is a great car, I loved it.
