[Shotimes] OT Holden Manaro CV8 Or as they call it here the GTO

[DAVE]

Well a buddy of mine is the sales manager at a local Pontiac delaer and  dropped off a 04 GTO for me test drive for the weekend.  I've had it since 9 am..He is so sure after the weekend I'll buy this thing. Well he is wrong. After a few hours of seat time I've got to say I don't like it. It feels cramped on me but I gotta say it's a speeding ticket waiting to happen!. Very strange blind spot in the car where you could lose a semi very discomforting on the freeway. It gets up and moves right out spins the tires with ease and it handles ok alot of front end bias to the car. Interior is gaudy then again it might be the fact it's blue leather but looks like it may have the same problems as the SHO a few years down the road. 
It's better then the last Firebird I drove but does have some strange squeeks and rattles but nothing as bad as the F-Body cars. with 3200 miles on it. It's showing some interior wear already. In the GTO Vs SHO debate performance wise the GTO wins with a sticker price of 45,600 on the GTO well I could do alot to a SHO for the money I saved.
My wife came home for lunch and I gave her the keys and took my Ford back..
