Sweet rides LuckyLuck, my dad has a 1982 Corvette Collectors Edition. He doesn't drive it much so it just sits in the garage.

I saw this vid the other day, almost killed myself out of envy.
THIS CAR COLLECTION IS BEYOND AMAZING!!!- Video

The only cars left that I wold have put in there would have been the Koenigsegg CCXR and maybe a TVR but that's it. Only person that I know of with a bigger more thorough collection is Jay Leno.

Very nice Sangetsu

It looks a little similar to an Australian Holden Monaro

It's the same car, just the US/Pontiac name/badge stuff. My friend also has a spice red 6.0, he keeps saying he's going to get some headers but he never does. Also needs an X-pipe because he has Magnaflow on there now and it's just too quiet.

And nice WRX, need to cover up the plates though. (You know the WRX sedan is faster than the STI hatch?)

I had wanted a muscle car of some type, and I first thought of getting a new Mustang GT. I spent a week going to different Ford dealerships looking at their cars, and trying to negotiate a better price. But the Mustang was a hot seller, so the dealers wouldn't budge on the price.

As luck would have it, there was a Pontiac dealership near one of the Ford places I went to, and I noticed that they had several GTOs on the lot when I drove by. I stopped in and noticed that the sticker prices were about the same as the Mustangs, about $34k. But, as it was late 2006 (almost 2007), the Pontiac dealer was willing to come down significantly on the price, I ended up giving $28k for it.

Unfortunately, I didn't have much installment credit history, so my finance company (Chase) hit me up for 7% interest on the loan. Before I made the first payment, I transferred the entire balance of the loan to my American Express skymiles card. I got 1.9% rate for the life of the balance, flexible payment options, and nearly 50k miles to my Skymiles account.

Anyway, the car came with the LS2 6.0 liter V8, which makes 100 horsepower more than the Mustang GT, and it came with the 6 speed manual transmission (the Mustang GT only comes with a 5 speed or auto). I found the interior to be much more room and comfortable than the Mustang, and the ride quality was much better as well. One of the best things, however, was the insurance rate. The GTO cost about 25% less to insure than a Mustang. After taking a GTO for a test drive, I wondered why I ever bothered looking at the Mustang in the first place.
