2006 Brazen Orange Gto Automatic (still Smells New!) on 2040-cars
Port Saint Lucie, Florida, United States
This is an extremely
well cared-for GTO in perfect mechanical condition! It is probably one of the finest examples of
any late-model, Australian-built GTO. Its condition
will undoubtedly rival one with a fraction of its mileage.
Zero-wear interior that still smells new. Even the floor mats appear wear-free (I actually covered them with another set of floor mats to keep them that way).
The dealer installed a new
fuel pump in February of 2012 @ approx. 29,4xx miles. The Goodyear F1 tires are mounted on chromed,
OEM 18” wheels. However, the car was
born with the 18”, silver version of the same wheels (not included). The chrome wheels were a dealer-installed
option.
There are no door dings
– this is an all original paint car! The undercarriage is very clean and has no
evidence of abuse. I’ve kept
the Optima battery (included) on a Battery Tender (battery not included) since my purchase. I’ve only used non-gloss Armor All on the
interior surfaces.
2006 was the only year for
this Brazen Orange exterior color. If you've never seen this paint in direct sunlight, you will be shocked at how
amazing it is! It accents each line and crease in the
bodywork; my photos do it no justice. I've heard it described as “show car” paint. All other color variants seem plain
by comparison.
The photo of the engine
bay shows over-spray of Armor All, not a leak. I sprayed it over the front fascia to prevent
insects from sticking – it actually works quite well.
My modifications were
limited to a set of "ballistic" nylon front seat covers installed the
day I received her, nothing else.
However, a very high quality, orange-anodized PCV oil vapor kit and a
lower temperature thermostat are included, but were never installed.
It appears the previous
owner installed slightly lower springs, but I haven’t yet identified them. The ride is not harsh and the stance is
perfect! In my opinion, these springs are what
the car should have come with. There are
also Hotchkis front & rear adjustable anti-sway bars, T-slotted front
rotors (I have no idea what brake pads are currently installed), HID headlights and a few LED bulb replacements.
This car was obviously owed by an OCD-plagued owner before (and like) me as this car is absolutely un-abused and in incredible condition. I took delivery on 2/12/12 at about 9:30pm and drove it less than 2100 miles since. It’s killing me to sell it, but it bothers me even more to own a car I never use. I’ve included no exaggerations in this description. Simply put, you just won’t believe how nice this car is in person. Please send me any questions you have, but realize I work midnight shift and varied days off. I will, however, answer all questions completely, honestly and without unnecessary delays. Also realize the reason for its sale is practicality, not desperation. So please, only inquires by serious buyers who are actually ready to purchase. Thank you for your interest!
Notice: I am a private owner of this vehicle
and am financing this vehicle through Pentagon Federal Credit Union
(PFCU). Once a sale price is finalized, payment
will be made directly to PFCU. Naturally, the title will be released as soon as the payment is received / confirmed. The representative suggested the payment be “wired”
(electronically transferred) for the quickest release of the title. Payment with a check is estimated to delay
the process by approximately 7 days. |

2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern
Mon, 07 Nov 2011General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.
NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bob Lutz was one of the forces behind bringing the Holden Monaro to the United States, as the ill-fated Pontiac GTO in 2004. And while that car received critical acclaim, it was a sales disappointment. Now, Road & Track is reporting that our suspicions were correct - Pontiac was working on a two-door, G8-based coupe before it was shuttered.
In that R&T article, which is no longer available online, Lutz explained that the new GTO would solve many of the issues found in the original. Car Advice speculates that the new model would have look like a rebadged version of the Holden Coupe 60 Concept from 2008, a conclusion we also came to.
That car would have been a big departure from the 2004 to 2006 GTO. It has an extremely long hood and short rear deck, with an almost fastback roofline and a wide greenhouse with a tall beltline. The wheel arches were very pronounced, and the chin and rocker panel splitters gave it a race-ready look. Would it have been enough to make the GTO work in the US? We think it might of, but it looks like we'll never know.
