Rally Master 01-05-2008, 11:29 AM About time Kracka. I'd like to see this up against Ed's Mustang and Rob's Silvia. :P
Amazing what they were able to do on the body work. She looks great!
Kracka 01-05-2008, 11:40 AM Thanks guys, I'm dropping the car off sometime next week to have some suspension parts replaced from the accident. Other than that the car is 100% :)
Imprezzive 01-05-2008, 12:38 PM That's a nice car! It looks like the body shop did an excellent job on the repairs.
Venom 01-05-2008, 12:51 PM And the GTO returns :D
osa_mah91 01-05-2008, 01:03 PM absolutely beautiful!! great to see it back in action :thumbsup:

MuscleCarFreak 01-05-2008, 06:04 PM Nice GTO Kracka!
Amazing work on the body repair, too.
I love that you replaced the grill with the nicer aftermarket one. There's a Black 05 GTO 6.0 in town with that grill, and some nice front clip, and side skirts.
Glad to see you have your Pontiac in here now.
Future ROFM for sure!
Killua 01-05-2008, 07:17 PM Future ROFM for sure!
Ride Of F**king Month? lol...
Lovely ride you have, it's good to know she's almost completely fixed.
Kracka 01-05-2008, 07:19 PM Yeah I recently looked at getting a 2005 Black GTO and told the dealer my grilles would need to be put in the car and they said okay. ....untill i saw the monthly payments.
On the list is some suspension, headers(coming sooner than I originally expected..) and a cam.

Those headers are hot, will you make a before and after sound video?
Driv3r 02-18-2008, 02:38 PM I like it, it looks clean without a spoiler. Buuut, a front lip and a rear bumper (like this one) (http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f161/Mikey340/P9300967.jpg) would make it look perfect ;)

Ah mikeys car.
I enjoy looking at his car anything he posts LOL.
I sorta like the look the 04 has without the spoiler...gotta remember my roots of driving has been on the streets. Gives it a sleeper look. "lolz look at the gran picks" "oh dam y it sound like dat?"
We shall see though. I am already talking to a guy in Rhode Island for a cam install. :)
Vanexroxics 02-19-2008, 03:12 AM The GTO's look good without the spoiler.
EH..Nice ride =D
all for the sleeper look. most defiantly would love to show some ricer up in that thing :)
Kracka 02-19-2008, 09:07 PM Headers came in this afternoon, ordered my midpipes as the UPS man walked to the door.
..they reduced the price of the midpipes for me aswell as waived the shipping fee. They'll be here tomorrow...Talk about customer service!

Both, because (1) they will make you remember me :P and (2) I don't know what they are and probably won't until I get a car for myself. :D

It is an HID headlight conversion kit.
Turned my dull, nearly yellow stock headlights into a bright, Xenon headlamp. And since my car came OEM with projectors it makes it even better.
Thanks all.

Rally Master 04-06-2008, 11:27 AM Wow. A GTO that keeps up with a Corvette? Definitely worthy of ROTM there!

Would've beat him both times, but the 2nd run I had was nothing but spinning in 2nd.

Kracka 04-08-2008, 11:24 PM I like the wheels of the orange GTO in the first pic. What brand?
They're CCWs.
2500 bucks a set WITHOUT Tires...no thanks.
Mercury 04-09-2008, 01:40 AM Would've beat him both times, but the 2nd run I had was nothing but spinning in 2nd.
Would you have?
I think I still have run a faster time than you. 13.1@109 :D
Kracka 04-09-2008, 02:24 PM Would you have?

LOL.
I got you the 1st run...we were nearly dead even.
..how'd you find this place lol.
Kracka 04-20-2008, 11:40 AM So...I changed the header gaskets, meant to throw some pictures on here but it was hot, things didnt want to work with me and it required 2 people. lol...finally throwing the Check Engine Light for the catalyst inefficiency code.
Been 2 months with the headers and catless mid pipes and it NOW throws the code haha.
Went to the track last Wednesday and ran a 13.0@109mph 0.05seconds away from a 12.99 timeslip.
Road course/Auto-X experience is coming up this year, cant wait :)
Marra90 04-20-2008, 01:34 PM sounds like the first run you did in that video you were gettin a lot of tyre chatter :P
Pretty cool that you can hold it down with vettes though, i am impressed

Yeah the car is pretty fast for whats done. I am 4th on the list of the Fastest Bolt on LS1 GTOs on the GTO website lol.
I need to get a stickier tire to try and stop that wheel hop, but I am afraid to get a drag radial or slick because last thing I need right now is to break an axle. :(

Marra90 06-21-2008, 01:35 PM suweeet
hmm yeh you wouldent want to be breaking axels, perhaps one might invest in a new rear end eventually?
Kracka 07-04-2008, 01:02 PM uh oh...what've I been up to?
Possibly trading in the GTO on a Corvette, if I can get the payments down to what I am doing now.
Looked at this one, and I want it to be honest, they offered me a damn good trade-in value for the GTO but came back at me with a 500/mo payment. I walked.

Nope, sticking with LS1 cars. Doing an Optispark on an LT1 is rediculous, not only that but it will be tough getting financing from a dealer on a C4 vette.
Driv3r 07-04-2008, 02:34 PM You should give me the GTO, considering they are now legal to import :D

Kracka 08-30-2008, 02:36 AM Soo...it's in the bodyshop again, getting some issues fixed from my accident. The drivers side rear suspension has been out of whack, the tire was rubbing on the quarter panel and the inside is wearing much more than the passenger side...as well as my radio deciding to stop working.
I am also looking at current new/used replacements yet again.
Volvo S60R, Mazdaspeed 3, Mazdaspeed 6, or new Cobalt SS...
HSVrules 08-30-2008, 04:28 AM I should say if you enjoyed the GTO. You should maybe have a look at the G8. Our Commodore is a pretty good car.
nfslover101 08-30-2008, 09:34 AM I should say if you enjoyed the GTO. You should maybe have a look at the G8. Our Commodore is a pretty good car.
Yeah, the G8 is pretty amazing. My Uncle took one for a spin and said he hasn't that much fun since his 72' Challenger. :D

edlemur 08-30-2008, 11:09 AM Yeah, the G8 is pretty amazing. My Uncle took one for a spin and said he hasn't that much fun since his 72' Challenger. :D
Thats because the G8 can actually go for a spin. In contrast, the 72 challenger can go in for a line.
Kracka 08-30-2008, 04:47 PM I should say if you enjoyed the GTO. You should maybe have a look at the G8. Our Commodore is a pretty good car.
As much I loved the GTO, and love the G8/Commodore, I just cant afford the G8...31k is alot more than what I am trying to spend especially since I still owe more than what the dealer would give me for a trade in price on the GTO.
Kracka 09-04-2008, 12:40 AM I bought a catback. I have no sound clips, as it hasnt been shipped yet, nor do I have possession of my car right now as it is currently back in the body shop, with no ETA of being completed...yay me.
Something was messed up from the accident last year, thats all.
Heres what it SHOULD sound like though:

Mat_Carfreak 09-15-2008, 02:09 AM Pontiac GTO is an awesome Aussie ride converted to be an American. I don't like the yellow color though. I would prefer red or black. The G8 is nice too, but does it add any costs expenses because they're imported into the U.S.A from Australia? Pontiac is an American brand though even some of the cars are Australian made.
But the engine is American. I'd assume they're built in America as well. So probably the only thing about GTO that is Australian is it's incredible design.
Revolution 09-15-2008, 04:17 AM Actually, they were all built in left hand drive at the Holden plant in Australia, Adelaide no less.
Mat_Carfreak 09-15-2008, 05:14 AM Yeah, of course it's built at HOLDEN in Adelaide of Australia. I think the GTO's engines are built in the U.S. I'm pretty sure LS2, LS6 & LS7 engines are American but how about the LS1?

Not really, its just been thru alot of quick, firm shifts and bent the metal i guess. Who knows, a new(er) arm is on the car now.

Honestly, no idea.
I need to get rid of this, and some other debt before I can do anything.
Looking at 03 GTIs.
Although if I had a job still, and the trade in value of these cars was still High...I found an E46 M3 in Leguna Seca Blue for 19k.
TwinTurboGTR 12-23-2008, 12:23 AM Would you consider selling the LS1 on its own? Or do you want to sell the car as a whole only?
Make sure you check KBB before selling it. Sad to see it going, but after all, you're the one who gave it its true value. And of course I'm not talking about the trade-in value.
As for your next ride, a small V8 or a big V6 will be the least to expect.

Trade in value tanked on everything recently so I can no longer trade it in on anything without having to put a huge amount down. Need to give it a go at private Party.
Driv3r, I'd rather put money into the jeep right now, tired of going fast. Talk to the bank, see what they can do for you ;) We can work something out.
vette 12-23-2008, 12:26 PM Have always liked the GTO. Always wanted to own one myself, but at my age insurance would be too much. =/
RedTwentyFour 12-23-2008, 02:40 PM as for the price "as a steal" dont forget this car was totalled once. :)
Kracka 12-24-2008, 03:45 PM as for the price "as a steal" dont forget this car was totalled once. :)
No longer for sale anyway...put it into a guardrail at 240 am thanks to ice.
vette 12-24-2008, 04:32 PM Ouch, pics? :-(
Bl0cks 12-24-2008, 04:44 PM Oh man, thats not good.
Venom 12-24-2008, 06:20 PM This is madness...
How bad was it this time?
Shake 12-24-2008, 06:30 PM thats funny, cause I saw this yesterday and thought of you: http://westmd.craigslist.org/cto/968087781.html
I guess too late now huh. We had 47 reported accidents out here between midnight and 8 am today so it doesnt surprise me, I left work this morning and everything was a sheet of ice and I still have my summer tires on the corrado so it was fun getting home.
Kracka 12-25-2008, 10:40 AM I am fine, just have a stiff neck right now from when I hit the roof/mirror.
I'll just copy/paste what Ive told others:
Wrecked my car at 240am today.
Coming back from dropping off a package in Dover I hit an overpass filled with ice at around 50...car floated around a little..couldnt save it.
Hit the gaurdrail at like 40-50mph. Airbags didnt go off (wtf?) i hit the rearview mirror/roof (seatbelt always on)
I've got a horrible headache right now but need to get the hell to sleep (been up since yesterday afternoon)
Only lights that work still on the car:
Brake lights.
Low beams
Passenger side High beam
Hazards.
I'm going to the yard later today once I wake up, it's off of 72..so I'll grab some pictures."
"No idea if it is totaled, adjuster is going to look at it Friday.
Yard is closed for the hoiidays (untill friday morning) so I cant get any pictures until then.
From my conversation with chris:
WaNAbESKaTER1588: i pulled my bumper off while i was on the side of the road and looked at the damage
WaNAbESKaTER1588: there is a lot
WaNAbESKaTER1588: pass side headlight is pushed back a few inches
WaNAbESKaTER1588: crash bar is shoved up and in
WaNAbESKaTER1588: pass side frame rail is bent towards the drivers side and up
WaNAbESKaTER1588: theres a weird noise coming from whenever the car is in the on position by the battery
when you have the headlights on, the only lights that work are the ebay HIDs. No tail lights or ambers. Brake lights work, and Hazards work but thats it.
Sinister 12-25-2008, 11:25 AM doesnt a bent frame usually mean it'll be written off?
Dr.DooM 12-25-2008, 12:16 PM @sin
Chassis damage can be repaired, but only if its a small ammount of damage. The car can be put in a jig which has hydraulic rams to push and pull and twist the chassis. As i said tho, this is only worthwhile if theres not much damage.
@Kracka
I know how you feel, a sheep ran out infront of me and i swerved to miss it and hit a rock, rolled my car on the plus side Marr90 has the engine out of it cos it still runs.
ah shit dude, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope it won't be written off so you'd be able to repair it, at least. Assuming that's the plan...
Meastro444 12-25-2008, 04:44 PM that sucks. i hope you are ok.
Mr. Sting Ray 12-25-2008, 05:39 PM Your insurance rates must suck.
Kracka 12-26-2008, 12:39 AM Your insurance rates must suck.
What do you mean?
This is my first "at-fault" accident. I am paying less per month for two cars (one with full coverage) than I was for my 88 Z28 on Liability.
Kracka 12-27-2008, 01:49 AM Alright so I took a handful of pictures today. They make the car look perfectly fine. Have to really see it in person to be honest.

Vanexroxics 12-27-2008, 08:07 AM uber-LOL @ last pic.
jesus, that's a hell of a repair to be done.
CLR-AMG 12-27-2008, 08:56 AM Those pictures don't make me think the best tbh, but I hope much as possible can be done.
Mustang Man 2003 12-27-2008, 09:10 AM I hope u can get her up and running again it seems that you havent had the best of luck whith her lately
Dr.DooM 12-27-2008, 11:10 AM by the fact it says 50% off i think he might be getting rid of it.
What you thinking of as a replacement?
Kracka 12-27-2008, 11:59 AM by the fact it says 50% off i think he might be getting rid of it.
What you thinking of as a replacement?
If it can be totalled/written off then I am not 100% sure yet. If I had a great job like before, I'd probably look at getting a 2008 G8 GT. Found one with 12k miles on it for $19.7k.
But realistically if the car is written off, and they dont give me what I owe on it, I will just pay the remainder off and then get another MK2 VW or an E30.
vette 12-27-2008, 02:48 PM Ouch, man that hurts just seeing that :(
Shake 12-27-2008, 03:47 PM buy my blue corrado and fix it up :D
Imprezzive 12-27-2008, 03:51 PM That looks quite painful. :(
TwinTurboGTR 12-27-2008, 04:25 PM Is that the light switch on the steering column? Or was? :freak:
Did it just break from impact?
Those pictures weren't easy to watch.
I hope you have the receipts for the mods you had bought it.
DodgeBoy 12-27-2008, 06:04 PM That's too bad. Looks like it was a nice car. If they write it off, I would try to buy it from them and repair it on my own. Would be a shame to see a GTO go to waste. I guess it all depends on how much you like your car.

Agreed, if anything take the engine out and maby use it or sell it. If i had the money i would buy it and fix it up, i love those cars.
Mustang Man 2003 12-28-2008, 01:26 AM most deffinately a tradgety man
Apocalypse 12-28-2008, 03:54 AM Those pictures weren't easy to watch.
I feel exactly the Same Way.
Killua 12-28-2008, 01:45 PM What a shame, and I thought that the car would be fine after the first crash you had.
Linkin 12-30-2008, 01:10 AM Sucks that happened. I'm sure your replacement will be cool too.
I know you've already seen this but it needs to be posted again.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v517/M_ER_CU_RY/P1010028-2.jpg
:D
That's cool Linkin but I think he said he's not doing that good financially. Not too long ago I was stuck in a similar situation. Can't put it into words how shitty I felt.
No worries though. Just think of all the Z28s you can get for let's say 3 grand. 50hp isn't much of a downgrade, I suppose.
Kracka 12-31-2008, 05:51 PM http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n263/3rdgenfan/icewreck/9.jpg
http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n263/3rdgenfan/icewreck/8.jpg
Ugh, I feel sick just seeing the wreck. Good luck Kracka. Hope you can get something good.
Kracka 03-10-2009, 12:12 AM I've had the car back for quite some time.
I've also been organizing a big GM LSx Meet/Dyno Day that went on 3/7/09 (this past saturday) I haven't seen any pictures yet but I put my car on the dyno, got some decent numbers and tweaked the tune a little bit afterwards.
http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n263/3rdgenfan/AllLSxMeet/ondyno.jpg
http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n263/3rdgenfan/AllLSxMeet/dirkandgeoff.jpg
I am the green line on the graph, and my numbers are on the top right. The red line is my friends 04 GTO. Same exact setup basically, just his is an auto and he has a Flowmaster Catback, where I have SLP Loudmouth.
As I said, we messed with the tune (added timing + fuel) I should be at 340-345whp right now.
2FAST4U 03-10-2009, 01:19 AM Good numbers; saw a guy on another forum with a GTO like yours get very similar numbers. Glad to see the car back in 1 piece. Now KEEP it that way!
RedTwentyFour 03-10-2009, 04:29 AM yeah, dont wreck it again G-dog, btw, i didnt check back in this thread for along time but i love how it looks completly without bumper and lights in post #153, lol...reminds me of some carmageddon or death race stuff.
MuscleCarFreak 03-10-2009, 09:40 AM Nice to see the Goat back together!
Makes me want one even more.
Dr.DooM 03-10-2009, 11:36 AM as soon as i saw the shots with no bumper i knew it was goin to be okay. nothing looked warped or bent.
good to see it back in one piece and i hope you can keep it that way, also them numbers are pretty darn imprezzive haha
Bl0cks 03-10-2009, 11:58 AM Yay its back.
Mr. Sting Ray 03-10-2009, 01:02 PM Man, the Carfax report is gonna be screwy.
Meastro444 03-10-2009, 02:44 PM good news!
Kracka 03-10-2009, 08:49 PM Man, the Carfax report is gonna be screwy.
Nope.
Delaware only reports total losses.
Glad to see it back
You could definitely use some handling upgrade.
Mr. Sting Ray 03-12-2009, 08:46 AM Nope.
Delaware only reports total losses.
Well, that's what's up.
Kracka 03-19-2009, 09:18 AM Got my windows tinted:
http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n263/3rdgenfan/tinted.jpg
Meastro444 03-19-2009, 11:04 AM Looks good!
with black paint and some police steelies, it would look good imho ;) but that's just my style of cars :)
DodgeBoy 03-19-2009, 11:18 AM Nice. That car is gonna have quite a history if it doesn't get totally smashed one of these days. lol Gonna be fun to restore in future that's for sure.
Killua 03-19-2009, 03:18 PM I'm really happy to see that your car is still alive, and it's looking good too! Take care of it, man.
TriniGT 03-21-2009, 11:47 AM She lives again. Glad to see that she was not written off. Tint looks good.
TUDOR_T_BEST 04-15-2009, 01:14 AM Nice door.
Vanexroxics 04-16-2009, 04:15 AM and it returns again....
so you better keep it safe again, k?
Kracka 04-22-2009, 03:01 AM Went to the track last Friday, wasn't really prepped to great so I couldnt get a good E/T but I did get my best MPH...
13.1@111MPH
If I can actually get traction, I should be at 12.7-12.5 judging by MPH with the weight of the car, thats if I can just match my best launch...if I can get my 60ft time down to 1.8 its even lower than a 12.5 :)
For example, the fastest bolt on only LS1 GTO ran 11.98@112MPH. I am 1mph off from being the fastest MPH bolt on car..
I was the 4th fastest stock and 4th fastest header only GTO on the East coast for some time ;)
Sir Tristan 04-23-2009, 01:42 PM MAN!! That's almost as fast as a Ferrari 599GTB!
You call THAT "POS"??
Great car.
its as simple as the title folks. you are the winner as long as you are the last person to post. then again a mod is gonna win this in the end but that does not mean we cant have fun. so i am the winner
What the **** are you talking about?

Kracka 09-13-2009, 05:17 AM Finally got around to reregistering the car the other day...and picked out a vanity plate. I wouldve waited until it came in but I can not resist. lulz
http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n263/3rdgenfan/GOATSE.jpg
Kracka 10-07-2009, 02:59 PM SOLD.
:(
Picking up an 01 Jetta tomorrow.
Bl0cks 10-07-2009, 03:31 PM Oh snap. Farewell GTO.
Kracka 11-02-2009, 08:09 PM It's official, title for the car came in Saturday, and the car left my possession this afternoon.
EVO9MR 11-02-2009, 10:47 PM who did u sell it to? if i may ask?
TwinTurboGTR 11-03-2009, 12:27 AM NOOOOOOOO! Sad to hear that man.
So, about this Jetta of yours...
Mr. Sting Ray 11-03-2009, 09:13 PM What a buttsexxx.
Kracka 01-19-2010, 09:49 AM http://hphotos-snc3.fbcdn.net/hs048.snc3/13566_327646705079_859270079_9688974_3278498_n.jpg
Pic from the new owner.
Schaefft 01-19-2010, 10:48 AM Hehe nice, didnt know the Cobalt is that large. Or the GTO that small? <.<
Hehe nice, didnt know the Cobalt is that large. Or the GTO that small? <.<
lol my thoughts exactly.
It feels good when you see your recently sold car being appreciated (or loved, in other words) by the new owner. The way I loved that Impala, if the guy hadn't said he fell in love with the car I was gonna have a much harder time selling it.
Kracka 01-19-2010, 03:11 PM He called me up a few weeks ago and we went down to Dover DE to pick up some 19's. Atleast I get to ride in the ole girl occasionally.
