I used to think it was better for me to be on my car rather than the bike being in the car or the car being on the bike,
but now I'm not quite sure.

Is this thing on?
Shouldn't you be on ADVRider instead of trolling here? Get over yourself...

It's an Aussie GTO (2006 MY) that'll smoke the "REAL" GTO any way you ask it to. Much respect for the original, but the new(ly deceased) one is a better car in every way except, debatably, appearance.I guess the next question becomes, is it a REAL GTO, or simply a re-badged Aussie Holden Monaro-type GTO???

The "REAL GTO" has the REAL badass dual exhaust pipe sound that puts the Ducatis and Harleys to shame and I'm not a car dude, jes' sayin'.

Average about 18 mpg in the Goat, 55 mpg on the two-fiddy. Over the past four months, I've done about 2,000 miles on the bike and maybe 500 in the car...
I'm gonna agree, but I'm a sucker for the sound of a V8. But the sound of V8 displacement is so wildly different from the sound of 15,000 rpm--they are all magical noises.

Cuz loud pipes are the scary.
WTF are you talking about? He asked if I was the guy on the loud ass cruiser...I replied that it wasn't me. What difference does it make what kind of bike I ride?
Oh yeah, you must be one of those guys that doesn't wave back to people on BMW's. Of course since you ride a Sumo you have a "cool" bike and "belong" on BARF, but I don't? Go fuck yourself.

The original GTO is a pile... except maybe in the way it looks, even then it only looks alright. The new Monaro/GTO is a better car in every way except the American version has the ugly Pontiac corporate front end (they should have used the Monaro's front bumper...)

Too bad the pic of the "real" GTO has the wrong hood scoop. Real GTO's had a much smoother and more integrated scoop than the abortion stuck on the hood of what likely was once a standard non-GTO Tempest.
Sidetrack - That's one of the things you have to look for. Folks are dragging Grammas car out of the backyard, bolting on some repop badges and trim and calling it a "GTO" or "Shelby" or...well, you get the idea. I had a customer pay a big pile of money for what he thought was a genuine Mustang Shelby GT350. It was proven to be a fake and he lost his arse.
As to the Holden based GTO? I'd own one in a heartbeat. It's everything the old GTO was and more. Unlike the 'real' GTO a 'new' GTO can actually go around corners. And the power it makes is dead reliable.

so again why do you have a ninja250 but car wise have a GTO??
GTO....blah
I owned an 04 GTO and it could not go around corners as well as it should at all. That chassis is complete floppy crap even though it did have an indy rear end. So I did the only thing I could do....picked up an 02 M5, 2 more doors and it CAN go around corners.
