perhaps, but the GTO has always been a streamlined car my LS1-challenged friend.
Thank you for your input though.

np beer: . as long as you get the car you want. just ask yourself if you need it right now and if you can actually afford it.

Unless you are making fat bank, that insurance is going to rape you. And that's assuming your record is clean.
If you were to win it at $22,500 (you won't, that's not even the reserve) you're looking at payments of over $400/month. Unless you're still on your parents' insurance, you're probably looking at an insurance payment of over $300/month. And in some states, you can't be on their insurance unless they help finance the car.
Just to put that in perspective, you could get a $700/month mortgage on a $100,000 house with no down payment oOo:

It would be 60 months (5 years) and I guarantee you won't have a car payment below $400. If the car gets up close to $30k you are looking at $500+

If you finance $15,000 at a low rate you are looking at about $300/month for your loan payment.

My advice is, if you have a car, hold on to it. If you don't, just pick up something for $5,000 or less that will get you Point A to Point B.
You can usually get an import like a '96-'99 Honda Accord for $4,000-6,000 and they're pretty decent cars, require very little maintenance.
You can just drive the hell out of it and when you make enough money to afford something better go for it.
I'm finally about to get my dream car.. BMW 328i rock:
