Default Poss. Trade? 2005 GTO M6 550+ HP 8k miles

I am considering a possible trade for a C5 6 Speed convertible for my GTO. Information below.



This is hands down one of the nicest new body style GTO's in existence. It's a 2005 Pontiac GTO 6 speed in Cyclone Gray Metallic. Black leather interior still smells new. The car is a sunny warm day weekend driver and has been caught in the rain exactly three times. I clean this car inside, out and underneath on a regular basis. It has just over 8000 miles. The oil has been changed at 500,1500,3500, and 6000 miles. Only Mobil-1 5W30 full synthetic oil and an AC Delco oil filter are used. No accidents, no paintwork, no dings, no imperfections, no excuses. I am EXTREMELY meticulous with my leisure vehicles. The car has extensive modifications all installed and tuned professionally at Arizona Power & Sound in Tempe, AZ. It has their AZPS 550 package plus extra options. Total package price was over $20k.

It will cost $50-53k to duplicate this car new. It is perfect in every way.

Complete AZPS 550 BHP Package with extra options!!

This car is dead nuts reliable and never skips a beat. It's pretty quick, too!!

Major Modifications are as follows:
AFR 225 CNC race ported and smoothed heads, 72mm chamber w/ GM MLS headgaskets
ARP Headstuds
Comp 921 valve springs, titanium retainers
AZPS 03 Roller Camshaft - completely custom grind for this exact combination!
Cam specs are: .621/.615" lift, 242/248 duration @ .050", 111 degree lobe separation
Comp Cams Hardened Pushrods
FAST 90mm Intake Manifold with LS2 conversion
Ford SVO Motorsport 30# Injectors
Volant Cold Air Induction System
Kooks 1 3/4" Long Tube Stainless Steel Equal Length Headers - Jet Hot Silver Coating
Kooks Stainless Steel Midpipes, also Jet Hot coated
Random Tech High-Flow Catalytic Converters - This vehicle is completely street legal!
Corsa Sport Stainless Steel Exhaust with double-wall 4" tips
Billet Oil Catch Can
Paint-Matched BMR Strut Tower Brace
LS7-GM Corvette Z06 Clutch and Flywheel kit (awesome)
GMM Race Version Billet Rip-Shifter
275/40/17 Nitto Drag Radials on rear (necessary)
Rear Drag Bag kit - air bags to help wheel hop
MSD Super Conductor 8.5mm plug wires and NGK plugs
I am sure there are more modifications I am forgetting, but this is most of them.

The car is professionally custom tuned for 89 Octane or higher and made 480 Rear Wheel HP on a conservative tune in 98 degree Arizona heat. This setup will easily make 500+ HP at the wheels if you bump the timing and trim the fuel. Or leave it the way it is and drive it with no worries and sacrifice a few HP. I like to err on the side of caution. This car gets 24+ miles per gallon on the freeway, and pulls like an absolute monster. It was driven on a 1700 mile trip across the country with no issues at all. Air conditioning on, all the creature power comforts you would expect from a high end vehicle, and enough power to pull past most performance vehicles 3-5 times its price. This is a true "car-guys" car! It handles awesome and is a true modern musclecar.
I will include all documentation I have with this vehicle. I have the original window sticker, dealer paperwork, radio theft tags, both sets of keys, and all the owners manuals. I have receipts for most of the parts on the car. I even have most of the stock parts for the vehicle that could be negotiated into the selling price.
I'm sure I am forgetting some stuff, but the car needs to go. The car alone in stock form is easily worth $25k, Parts and labor for everything else is over $20k, save yourself 15 grand and a ton of time. This is a killer deal. The car is still under GM factory warranty until 9/08 or 36k miles. It has never had any problems or issues to speak of.

Trade value of NEW PRICE $28500

Please email me direct at grinaldi@wi.rr.com or call at 414-732-4824 for more information. Please serious purchasers only. I am not interested in any trades, (unless its a Corvette convertible). I have plenty of other cars and trucks. I don't want, don't have, don't buy, and don't sell junk. I'd like this car to go to someone who will take care of it and enjoy it like I have.

Stick to a C5, not a C4 unless it's perfect.
How did you like them over at AZPS? i'm thinking about possibly bringing a car over there sometime soon.

All I can say about AZPS is my car runs like an ANIMAL. Ive had plenty of fast cars, but this is the most controlled, drivable, and responsive power band I have ever experienced from an all-horsepower vehicle. Most of my other fast cars were boosted, and they run tame till the boost hits, and then all hell breaks loose... This one can be a handful, but only when you want it to be. I'm very satisfied with it.

I'm in no relationship with the seller here, but I can personally say this car is indeed an animal for a GTO. Very nice car have ridden in and have drove it personally. I'm good friends with the first owner of the car who had all the work done to the car. It is indeed a great car, wish I could afford it, but my pockets won't allow it!
Good luck with the sale GinoRin and whoever gets this car WILL NOT be disappointed!

I've also driven this car and helped with some of the work the original owner did. The original owner would probably be willing to discuss his experience with AZPS (Darkhalf or I could contact him and see if there is interest). Very nice car. Very fast.
