Id love to get a truck because I had an 03 f150 that i gave to my brother. but Speed is what i love. I dont want to compromise that ! If i got a GTO only thing id do would be a nice exhaust with headers. Other than that 400hp and tq would be good enough for me. I mean 300 wasnt but its time to grow up and enjoy what I have. Also saying that my vette is good enough. But I never grew up with cars having that many miles on them so its wierd to me. I dont want a car so i can drag my dog along. Im thinking if I do get another car I have to keep the dog in mind. But the main reason I need a newer or another car is because of the drive to work 2-4 days a week which is 100 miles there and back. So Up till I have to make my decision I think ill go with a newer GTO. But if the dog fits in a C5 quite well then ill go that route.

If you got to take your dog with you, get a truck.

It looks better to see a guy with his dog in a truck. Some how it doesn't seem quite as strange.

If you want a good truck for cheap....

Get a dodge with a hemi......they have pretty good power and you can pick up a used one 2003/05 with low miles for dirt cheap.

I am talking $12,000-$15,000 for a nice used one with quad cab and a place to put the dog in the back.

Maybe you could keep the corvette doing it that way.

Still be cheaper to put a little money in the vette and leave your dog at home.

Im in love with the turbos and 2500's . plus I wanna keep what I get for a longggggg time. My dog is my best friend. He deserves a comfortable ride. Plus he likes to ride up with me in the front seat. I almost sometimes have to have my girl jump in the back of the vette. She dont think its fare but bro before ho's ......

Those GTO's are way heavy. Yea they have 400 hp but it doesnt take much at all for a c4 to beat em.
