I usually prefer rear-engined performance cars like my C-GT but this car is amazing. It obviously has the engine in the front but it's superior weight distribution makes for a completely neutral handling experience. On entry into a sharp right hand corner the first thing I noticed was oh sh**t there is no understeer. For a front engined car the handling is phenomenal. The sound of an engine is one of the most important things to me in any car and this car definitely delivers. The sound going through the canyons is just amazing. I have always felt that the C-GT was the best sounding supercar that I have ever heard but the sound exiting the tailpipes on the GTO is incredible....you just want to keep finding a safe spot to open it up just to hear it. I usually prefer manual transmission cars but the gearbox in the GTO is out of this world....nothing like the auto manual in an Audi R8 which I personally don't like. The shifts are just so fast and so firm with absolutely no hesitation whatsoever. I only drove the car today in "race mode" and the ride quality was spectacular. I could drive this car for hundreds of miles with no discomfort whatsoever....other than numerous violations for speeding. The engine is just spectacular as well.....just an abundance of horsepower and torque. It wants to rev rev rev, and although I didn't take it to red line yet I am sure most owners will be glad that it has a rev limiter. In conclusion I can find no flaws with this car whatsoever. It's combination of horsepower, torque, power delivery, handling, and transmission make for a car that quite frankly put's it on another level. It is definitely deserving of the "GTO" badge.

I did not have my camera handy when you went by, but I think another person doing video might have gotten you on video, I'll ask him.

Wow, just wow. This is truly defining beauty to a whole new level. Congrats on the delivery/arrival! I hope you best wishes to the GTO.

Thanks again for sharing! Gives us "Ferrari-Dreamers" or any auto dreamer a true pleasure in reading info, and seeing pictures! Glad we can interact with very welcoming, and sincere well-to-do people who aren't douche bags
Please don't tell me you drive with a bluetooth headset and blue chromatic painted sunglasses? LOL

I have a custom chromatic bluetooth headset to match my glasses, my middle name is "Douche Bag", I have the Mr T gold chain collection hanging around my neck(which I might add is hard to keep out of my big bushy patch of chest hair), I think I will chrome the wheels on all my cars, and I am currently searching for the dumbest big boobed bimbo to ride in my passenger seat!!

In all honesty I would never attach a bluetooth to my head and I do not own a gold chain!!

Love your sense of humor!

Your car is full of win!!
Gorgeous color combo.
Hopefully you're still going to drive your CGT, that's a lovely car too.
Some days you'll be standing in front of both of them and then you have to chose which one you're going to drive that day, life's hard isn't it?
I hope you enjoy your car a lot!

! Oh man, this is full of win.

Thanks! Well I am sure I will be back to post about my next installment.. a rich 16 year old kid getting a BMW M3 for getting an A on his geography test.

Enjoy the GTO, man!
