Had a resonator delete done with straight SS pipes. Cost $140 and damn what a difference it makes. I can safely say that's the best value for money I've spent EVER.

Only problem is I took my wife to the doctors today and it's the first time she's been in the car since I had the resonator removed. She started asking why's it so loud and everytime she heard the noise she would grab on to the door handle for dear life.

Got back home and she said she's no longer going to be sitting in my car and if we go anywhere it's gonna be with hers!

Also just painted my badges dark red and boy does it make a difference. I'm sure they're not to everyone's taste but I love em!

As long as your girlfriend is still cool with it, you're ok

You can't please all of them...all the time

Rofl, this actually works out to your favor. You won't have to hide the wife's stuff before your gf gets in the car

LOL - Not so much when it means me having to be a passenger when a woman's driving and more over in a boring 5.7 litre v8.

Congrats!

LOL - I wish I had a gf and a wife. Got screwed too many times in the past for being caught. Now I'm a one woman guy and that's my wife. It's all good but not being able to drive with my foot down when she's in the car is bad enough. Now I can't even drive it when we go out together. Now that's F*&&£ED up

Get her a C63! Or I have a valvetronic exhaust option that may help? haha

C-63AMG

LOL she's pregnant now so I was thinking about a G55 or ML63 for her. ML63 much more in favour as the depreciation on them is insane. Best value for money performance SUV you can buy.

Hemi?

Lumina SS (AKA Holden Commodore SS AKA Pontiac GTO)

I sold my Hemi (300C SRT8) for this monster!

Tried to upload a cold start but it's a .MOV file and wouldn't allow me to upload it.

Nice. 2006 GTO (6.0) owner here.

C-63AMG

I loved the car when I got it new in 06. It was the best value for money performance car on the market here. What I was so pissed about is I asked the dealer if a new model was coming anytime soon and they said no. 4 mths after I got it, the new model came out and I lost 30% of its value in the first year. Was so so pissed off. Never got a GMC made vehicle since although was considering the CTS-V before I got the C63. The thing that put me off the CTS-V was that I couldn't really fit in it. It's not built for tall people!

The LS motor series is my favorite thing Chevy has ever done and it's just an updated version of their old V8s lol

C-63AMG

They've done an amazing thing with the ZL1 Camaro. I was running side by side with it for about 500 meters. It even started pulling ahead by cms upto 180kmh, then I started pulling distance on it. Not much but enough to make me happy that I beat that animal.

USCGTO

yup I love my LS2

wankeldude

nice - i'm sure this isn't only for her benefit when she is digging through your web cache to see what you've been writing about her.

CoolBDPhenom03

That's a funny story.

Btw, I can barely make out that your badges are red.

OP
Does your wife have the coupe or the sedan....If your Lumina SS was a four door then it was based on our Cadillac Catera/Holden Commodore which was also based on the Opel Omega, our GTOs here were only two doors.

Lots of unhappy wives in these these current threads...
Perhaps, working more in the bedroom and less in the garage is the answer to spousal happiness...

In all seriousness, I'm sure your 63 sounds wicked!

sickfox

you got to love the support this forum gives!!! this is the right place to vent out....

C-63AMG

Hey CoolBDPhenom,

Yeah, that wasn't the best photo. Have attached one more with the red badges clearly visible.

C-63AMG

Thanks moosejaw,

I didn't know that about the Pontiac, thanks. I know mine was based on the Holden Commodore as while it's a Chevrolet, it was made in Australia and shipped to Dubai. Photo attached.

I recorded the sound on my iPhone which is a .MOV file. How can I get it uploaded? Loving the sound! It's MENTAL
