My GTO!!! ( sold my prelude and turbo SE-R)
Saturday, July 15, 2006 4:55 AM
Well guys after fixing up my SE-R with a new turbo, and repainting much of my Prelude for the hell of it, I decided it was just time for a new vehicle. So I sold both cars in a matter of a few weeks and picked up my almost new car.



Sorry for the crappy pic. Its the pic off of the dealers website so hopefully it works for a little longer before they take it down. Ill have more pics later when I get home from work.

Anyways its an 04 with 15k on it. Some old guy traded it in for a buick suv. I got an awesome deal on it and had to have it. Like i said more pics will be posted very shortly.

Have fun stopping at every gas station. With a 5.7 V8, you are lucky to get 18mpg highway I bet.

I think it's got in the 20's for Hwy mpg, and if you're not punching it every time you pull away, you'll get better milage.

You lucky.. lucky bastard.

I love the car. I loved my prelude, but just wanted something with real power. Not that my SE-R didnt have any, Im sure it would keep up with my gto to an extent..

And Rob as for gas, so far on the highway ive gotten 21-23. Im not really to worried about that. I work 2 miles from my house...literally. I only put 13K on my prelude in the 2 years i had it and that was with commuting to college.

Anyways ill get some good pictures once it stops pouring here.

thanks for all the comments guys!

LSx's get great gas mileage for the power they make?



Re: My GTO!!! ( sold my prelude and turbo SE-R)

Aparently he wasnt too concerned about the gas mileage since he bought a sports car, lol.

Nice choice dude! Any plans for it or do you just plan on keeping it simple? Also, manual or automatic?

I do have plans for it down the road. For now Im just gonna do the basics, CAI, exhaust, and hopefully cams by spring time. Not gonna rush any of it though.

Oh and it is a 6 speed.

for that price i think even i'd sell out to the v8 rwd crowd lol I like the GTO's, even though in reality, its a Holden. Maybe thats why i like it Sorry to see the SE-R go, but hey, now you have something with a tranny that isn't made of glass.

yeah the tranny always kinda bothered me. I never had any trouble with it and i had a spare one, but it was just something i didnt want to ever take the time to replace.

I may have some good pics later...its looking nice today!

A guy I work with stopped at some car dealer in Lincoln, NE where they had three used ones, all under 10K, all around $20K.
