Guys, my buddy is going to be leaving next week for Afganistan to server for another year and wants to sell his GTO while he is deployed. It is a 2003 with the 5.7 and has twin turbos. It made 550rwhp on 9psi. I believe the turbo system is APS but I don't remember. I'll have to get more info from him later because I talked to his wife about it. If anyone is interested please PM me.

I doubt he's got the cash for it now, but Sean's little brother with the Turbo Buick has had some interest in GTOs. :huh:
Sean?

How much for this car??
First, its a Red 04 M6 74,000mi .. It has an APS twin kit with a 3BAR tune and the APS duel pump in tank fuel system using the factory line as a return. The engine has all factory parts, 317 LQ9 heads w/LS6 springs and cam. the set-up is mild but still makes 550 at the wheels on 9 psi. The gates have 15 psi springs and APS advertised the kit to be able to breath to 1000HP. I am running a LS7 clutch that has a factory feel. The car is well taken care of. Clean in and out. there are a few flaws, but its best to see it in person. I can post some pictures tomorrow if you want. As far as price, I will be asking $13,000 as is. meaning NO California SMOG. I was planning to remove the turbos and have the factory CATs matted to a turbo flange so all I would have to do is plug in the factory MAP and intake w/MAF and run it down to the smog station but with me leaving its not going to happen. Smog is due in SEP, the wife looses her lease in Jan so she will have to drive it until I get back. So I sell the car and buy something she can drive or have Ron pull the turbos off and put it back stock after I leave. He volunteered, Lots of work Ron:leaving:
let me know if you have any Questions or PM me with a # and a time to call.

Just an FYI, this car rides great too. My wife is always giving me a hard time because Brendan's GTO makes more power than the Cobra and it rides so much nicer. She only rode in it once and that's all it took. Plus, if I remember correctly it trapped 128mph the last time he ran it at Fontana.

Don't mind the dirty engine or drivers floor mat, just to busy to detail the car. As you can see, the engine compartment looks OEM. the kit is a low mount, you can just make out the intake and turbo on the Passenger side. The factory air cleaner is gutted and covers the blow off valve. the black cover above the Drivers side coil cover is for the fuel pressure regulator. other small details that other GTO owners don't even pick up on makes it a great sleeper. The 04 GTO only had a drivers side exhaust exit, I kept the look, the exhaust tip on the drivers side fills the factory duel tip opening, but the car has a duel 3 inch exhaust with the passenger side exit tucked up just inside the rear fascia. as far as sound, its just a little louder than stock. the gauges on the pillar are wide band 02 and oil pressure to the turbos. Boost and fuel pressure gauges in the center mount. other than that its all Pontiac/Holden.

Is he in the marines? Is this car at Pendelton? because I saw one very similar the other weekend there but i thought it has an STS twin rear mount system on it. I take it he changed the hood then if it is an 04

He's in the Navy. He reports up to Ventura or somewhere around there so it was most likely not his. He did change the hood and he also removed the factory wing.
