Default New ride
Well I successfully traded my '05 GTO for an '03 millenium yellow Z06. I am picking it up after work today. Now to make working part time at New Era Performance Parts start paying dividends.
The car has 29,000 miles on it and is completely stock (for a short time anyway).

The only thing I'll miss about the GTO is the room to take the whole family in one vehicle and surprising people who think it's a Grand Am!

very nice. I say you made out pretty good if that was a straight trade. Car appears to be in fantastic shape. I had a 06 GTO and loved it but the Z is on a whole different level. You will love it!!

Use the Z06 as the daily driver. I drive mine every day to work. It gets better gas mileage than anything in my drive way.

Time to get a beater. Having one gives the Z that new car feel every time you get behind the wheel.
