 Looks  & drives great, A Must See! Never seen snow, New tires, No accidents,  Non-smoker, Seats like new, Title in hand, Upgraded sound system, Very clean  interior, Well maintained

This car has  New front and rear  tires, 20" Nitto Invo on the Foose Legend Rims. New plugs, O2  sensors (all 4), belt and battery. I kept the old plugs with the car so you can  see it is running perfectly. New upgraded sway bar links and bushings. The paint  is perfect, just a few rock pits in the front bumper/skirt, shines like new.  Interior leather is also in like new condition. The  original owner upgraded the sound system will better speakers all around and it  would seem a subwoofer in the trunk. The subwoofer is gone, but all the wiring  is in place, high and low level signal wires, a subwoofer control wire, as well  as power wires for an amplifier. A new radio head unit  has been installed,  Pioneer Z3 CD DVD GPS 7" touchscreen with built in 40GB hard drive which holds  your favorite music ripped from each CD you play. Last thing is the headlights  are now HID as well as the Fog lights, really lights up the road.

If you do not know this car,  the 2004-2006 Pontiac GTO, let me give you what history I know. Released first  in '04 as a joint effort between GM and Holden of Australia, a big name in road  racing of sport coupes there, it was to bring a muscle car to compete with the  Mustang. It was only made for these three years, but was planned to move onto  the G6 platform when the recession hit and Pontiac was gone. In '04 it was  fitted with the LS1 Corvette engine.

In 2005 the car was upgraded to the LS2 engine, more  displacement and more horsepower. Unfortunately the car was a bit over powered,  for the 2005-6 have a problem in the 'Launch' and the rear wheels will have a  tendency to jutter, jump, shudder however you want to describe it. SO, if you  are looking at other 2005-6 production years, look for some resolution having  been install, most owners did nothing it seems. There are a couple of routes to  attempt a fix, I have heard that heavier axles works, but the solution on this  car does work. The decreases spring throw, -1.5", and the +2 spring rating  increase combined with Koni Shocks not only makes a smooth wheel spinning  launch, makes the  car handle really flat. Of course the 10.5" wide rims  and tires help that out  also.

The other thing to look for in these cars is the  seat corners, both front and back, that face the exterior of the car. I do not  know what Holden used to stitch these seats together, but it does not do well  with UV light. In most examples of this car, these seams threads have broken open, but not on  this car, all the seats are perfect except the rub on the drivers waist bolster  from getting in and out of the car. Also the headliners sometimes come  unattached from heat, but again, not this car. From the CarFAX, It spent its  life in North Carolina, a single owner, and from the looks of it, in a garage.  The owner may have been in the Armed Services, for there are periods on the  CarFAX where the car had no miles put on it. One thing is for sure, it was  pampered.

GM Design shows what could have been and what might be

Thu, May 27 2021

We periodically like to check in with GM Design's Instagram account to see what they're cooking up. Even better is when we catch a glimpse of an alternate history of what legendary designers from The General's past were thinking, though those ideas may not have made it into production. This week, for example, the account posted some illustrations from George Camp, whose career at GM spanned nearly four decades, from 1963 to 2001. One of the renderings is of what appears to be a 1971-72 Pontiac GTO Judge, but with two headlights instead of the production unit's quad beams. The rear departs from the canonical version most dramatically, with a massive integrated wing. Other bits that didn't make the production cut include large side vents, a gill-like side marker and rectangular intakes below the headlights that wouldn't be out of place on a modern design today. Amazingly, from what we can make out of the date, it appears that the drawing was done sometime in 1965, which makes it quite prescient.           View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by GM Design (@generalmotorsdesign) There's also a very aerodynamic interpretation of a Corvette ZR-1. To our eyes it splits the difference between the 1986 Corvette Indy concept and a fourth-generation F-body Pontiac Firebird, so perhaps parts of Camp's work on this sketch did make it into physical form. There's also a radical sports car concept from May 1970 that resembles the Mazda RX-500 concept from the same year, a Syd Mead-looking Cadillac coupe, and an Oldsmobile with a cool take on the company's trademark waterfall grille and elements of the Colonnade Cutlass at the rear. Other recent posts include a FJ Cruiser-like off-road EV, a sleek coupe with the Chevy corporate grille, and a rendering of a Silverado-esque pickup that looks far better than the current production version.           View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by GM Design (@generalmotorsdesign) It's pretty easy to lose hours in the account, but it's always fascinating to see GM's visions of what could have been and what might be.

Best and Worst GM Cars

Thu, Apr 7 2022

Oh yes, because we just love receiving angry letters from devoted Pontiac Grand Am enthusiasts, we have decided to go there. Based on a heated group Slack conversation, the topic came up about the best and worst GM cars. First of all time, and then those currently on sale, and then just mostly a rambling discussion of Oldsmobiles our parents and grandparents owned (or engineered). Eventually, three of us made the video above. Like it? Maybe we can make more. Many awesome GM cars are definitely going unmentioned here, so please let us know your bests and worsts in the comments below. Mostly, it's important to note that this post largely exists as a vehicle for delivering the above video that dives far deeper into GM's greatest hits and biggest flops, specifically those from the 1980s and 1990s. What you'll find below is a collection of our editors identifying a best current and best-of-all-time choice, plus a worst current and worst-of-all-time choice. Comprehensive it is not, but again, comments. -Senior Editor James Riswick Best Current GM Vehicle Chevrolet Corvette We were flying by the seats of our pants a bit in this first outing and my notes were similarly extemporaneous. When it came time to tie it all together on camera, I failed spectacularly. Thank the maker for text, because this gives me the opportunity to perhaps slightly better explain my convoluted reasoning. I chose the C8 Corvette because it's simply overwhelmingly good, and it's merely the baseline from which this generation of Corvette will be expanded.  While the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing (more on that in a minute) is an amazing snapshot of GM's current performance standing and its little sibling so enraptured me that I went out and bought one, their existence is fleeting. Corvette will live on; forced-induction Cadillac sport sedans, not so much. So while all three are amazing machines when viewed in a vacuum, the Corvette stands above them as both a reflection of GM's current performance credentials and a signpost of what is to come. So, given the choice between the C8 and the 5V-Blackwing right now, I'd choose the C8. In 10 years, when the Blackwing is no longer in production and Corvette is in its 9th generation? Well, that might be a different story. Now, just pretend I said something even remotely that coherent when we get to the part of the video where I try to make an argument for the 5-V Blackwing as best GM car I've ever driven. Or just laugh at me while I ramble incoherently.

GM recalling 778,000 Cobalts and G5s, six deaths reported

Thu, 13 Feb 2014

General Motors has announced that it will be recalling 778,562 compact cars after six people were killed in accidents, partially due to the airbags' failure to deploy. An issue with the ignition switch is causing the airbag issues, as well as causing the engine and other components to shut off without warning. The recall covers the 2005 to 2007 model year Chevrolet Cobalt and 2007 Pontiac G5. (Note that the Cobalt pictured above is a 2009 model.)
According to a report from Automotive News, a number of factors can cause the ignition to switch out of the run position, including weights on the key ring, rough or bumpy roads or other "jarring" events. Any of these situations could lead to some vehicle components not functioning properly.
There have been five fatal front-impact crashes that took the lives of six people, although as a GM spokesman noted, all five of the crashes happened off road and at high speed. In each of these cases, though, the lack of airbags wasn't the only lethal factor - alcohol and failure to wear a seat belt also played a role. Outside of the fatal accidents, there have been 17 other crashes where airbags didn't deploy. It's unclear if any of these crashes were caused by the engine shutting off.
