    been dwelling on this subject for a while now (like since the GTO came out 3 years ago), and im sure most members here are tired of me nagging for one. Im sure i can only stop if i actually got one or something better comes up, but i cant for the life of me think up a more desireable car than the GTO right now.

    for the amount a GTO cost now which is something like $500K, i dont think i can imagine another car that i want more, can u??

    dreams realized already :

    am i too greedy to want a GTO??

    A 599 GTO is the car that you keep in the stable for your lifetime. I don't think there is a better car. The LaFerrari would be interesting but the GTO is a keeper.

    If up to $500k is the ''budget'', the only car I think of that I'd rather want is a Carrera GT.

    For more...the list is rather short (Zonda/F40/F50/Enzo/LaF).

    Couldn't and can't afford a LaF，but I wouldn't mind owning one :)
    But I really drive my cars to its limits, atleast my limits, hope the gto won't disappoint.
    My 599 was super fast in a straight line but a disappointment when a corner comes. Needed HGTE or KW coilovers.

    I'm trying to get people to talk me out of a gto, not in :)

    You won't be disappointed … believe me. Get a GTO and drive it to its limits … it is a true driver's car. Just be careful as she can be a handful and very unforgiving ;) but she will make you feel sooooo alive.

    GTO all the way. If you want an easy driver forget the GTO. If you like a challenge the GTO is the way to go. I can't think of another car that sounds or drives like a GTO in the $500K price range or even at $1M for that matter. She will very different than your GTB ! So stop denying your self and just pull the darn trigger !

    I think if you can get your hand on one, than grab it now because the price of GTO's IMO will definitely be higher than $500k this time next year. :)

    As a recent purchaser of a GTO I loved it so much I HAD to get another one as well! :)

    The GTO meets and exceeds everyone's expectations and I've not yet one post where somebody was disappointed with their GTO.

    If you can find one that meets your $$$ objectives...GET IT and you'll have NO regrets!

    Happy Holidays!

    Was that the car with the interior removed? Was like seeing a supermodel in the OR opened from the navel to the neck. I'm sure it all went back together fine, but it was quite a sight.

    We should wear Fchat name tags at the FoW events. They seem to want to reconnect more with us. I like it. Will be interesting to see if they can keep the momentum going. I'm going to try to make it Saturday, but iffy.

    The FoW get together is 9AM Saturday and I think I can make it. Hey Romo, any interest in bringing out the Aperta? Would love to see her.
