number 1, its the internet. Calm down. You will run into smartasses on any forum.

2. You came in quite cocky about your car. If its so awesome, why on earth are you trying to get rid of it? certianly not for fuel economy as you pointed out.

Not nearly as many on my GTO forums, the SRT forums and the others I have belonged to. In fact, only the 4th gem Camaro guys (1993-2002 years) are as smartass as the members on this H2 forum.

I am selling because I do not keep a vehicle more then 2 years. I just get tied of them and want something different. I havn't owned a truck or large SUV yet so I thought I'd sell and buy one or if someone wanted to trade then all the better. Unless you have drived a solid 575hp car before you have no idea why it could be so "awesome". As with everything you get used to it and it's boring. I mean come now, on the street 99% of vehicles can't touch it.

I used to race super late models, just not on the street. I know what you mean, I get tired of vehicles too..I think you would have better luck trying to sell your GTO for 20-25K and then look for an 03 with 70K or so...You should only have to come up with 5K or so...

You are not getting 21mpg unless you nurse it around. And why would you do that?

The GTO I test drove, 05, had major electrical issues during the test drive. I went zero to 120-140 in like 15ft and 2 seconds(according to the speedo, I was really just in the parking lot at like 5-10mph). Then the speedo droped to zero and everything blinked off then back on, This happened several times during the drive, but I didn't care I just wanted to get on it.Maybe that's why they don't sell. They do sound good, like a vette..haaaay wait a min

Good Luck

Well, I'm glad you know more about my car then I do.

I don't baby it either, by contrast it isn't abused (brake stands, long burnouts, etc...). I've grown up well past that stage being almost 40 now.

I get 21mpg city and 25mpg highway. With the air conditioning on it drops about 1mpg. These numbers come straight off the instrument panels information center. It's all in the dyno tuning. I get better then stock because the stock programming was way too rich.

That's not a major electrical issue. Just a softwware glitch. A simple instrument panel re-programming takes care of all those things. The earlier software was slightly flawed. It has been revised. Not all GTO's were effected.

Speaking of Corvette, it is the exact same drivetrain as a vette except we have a backseat that's very usable.
