pontiacfreak142 Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 4L80E is a truck transmission, so no. the '04 uses a 4L60E and '05-'06 use the 4L65E. yea i knew it was used in trucks, but some one told me they were using a variant of it in cars.

Orion Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Derek, if you like the GTO, have you looked at a G8? Just askin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 I think a GTO is a great idea, I'd hold out for a LS2 model though. We know you don't have any issues pedalling RWD cars in the snow, so go for it. The rest of the year you'll be glad you didn't get the legacy.

TurboRust Posted January 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 ls2 are just too pricey, as are the g8's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 ls2 are just too pricey, as are the g8's Then get a LS1... Just about everybody who I've known who had one, loved it. Put snow tires on it and get a manual, dear god please get a manual. You'll have fun with it and it will be reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Brian Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 I've wanted one ever since I got a taste of DJ's. The interior was lightyears beyond anything you'd expect from Pontiac, power was obviously there, and everybody has an opinion on the exterior but they've grown on me personally.. clean and subtle.

AJ Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 yea i knew it was used in trucks, but some one told me they were using a variant of it in cars. 4T80E in northstar engine FWD cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirks5oh Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 I've wanted one ever since I got a taste of DJ's. The interior was lightyears beyond anything you'd expect from Pontiac, power was obviously there, and everybody has an opinion on the exterior but they've grown on me personally.. clean and subtle. and then i rode in my buddy's V8 S5 about a month ago after we installed a catback system on it. don't get me wrong, i still love the GTO, but it felt like driving a tractor compared to the S5, even though the GTO was clearly much faster. for the money though, you can't beat them. they can cruise all day long at 80mph on the freeway under 2000rpms, and can be made just about as fast as you'd like.

LOL Like comparing a scalpel to an axe, but you won't find a S5 for under 20 grand. lolzsauce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRD2BDF Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 There's a 2004 GTO in silver, auto, good mileage in Lancaster at Taylor's. I know this because I scope that car out everytime I cruise their lot. Err...not as good mileage, like I thought. 2004 GTO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linn1647545492 Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 A H/C LS1 will make almost the exact power a H/C LS2. They should be within 10-20 wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurkvinny Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Modded 04+ GTPs are fun DD's. I would not have used my GTO as a winter daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 I'd rather fight with a GTO then have to drive a GTP around as a DD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cordell Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 4L80E is a truck transmission, so no. the '04 uses a 4L60E and '05-'06 use the 4L65E. Yup the 65 is a little stronger, but anything more then normal daily driving will really shorten the life of a stock one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurkvinny Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 I'd rather fight with a GTO then have to drive a GTP around as a DD. Driven several of both. GTO certainly outclasses the GTP. However, I'd love for you to meet my GTP some day on 270, say from about 50? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Jones Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 If you feel like losing by even more buses? I am gravely confused unless you secretly added a built motor, single turbo and an extra 300hp to your "Comp Gee". Either way, challenge accepted this spring.

V8 Beast Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 A H/C LS1 will make almost the exact power a H/C LS2. They should be within 10-20 wheel. I would get the LS2 due to the weight difference. Having that extra 10-20 with the added weight could come in handy. Face it, in 9 months that GTO is going to be modded, and you know this mannnnnnn!!!! More hp, and beefier tranny in the LS2 GTO's. If you are hard on the car the extra money will be worth it. If its a fast grocery getter and you truly reallly really are not going to mod it save the cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YOU CAN'T LOSE BRO I think the term is "bruh" nowadays with the young'ins? And in response to an earlier post, nope, still sporting the stock, non-built engine and same blower housing that Pontiac threw on this over-weight sedan piggy in 2004.
