Default Pontiac GTO

Anyone here have one or owned one. I'm looking at a 05 6spd I found used. Opinions, etc.

Getting a good deal on one in Richmond. Black/Red.

I'm tired of the whole Mustang thing and want something nicer. I test drove one and loved it.

I think the 05s came with the new LS6 engine that makes a crapload of power compared to the LS1s that came in the GTOs when it was first re-released. Not sure though.
