Impressions after about 900 miles.
No regrets, would do again. The weakest link is the mylink nav unit, which is still actually pretty damn good, just a touch laggy. The magride is great, exhaust great, power is plenty for legal roads, brakes feel good, interior is solid and quiet, mpg is as expected for an lsx

Good choice. I had a soft spot for the '04-'06 GTO. Which was just a rebadged Holden Monaro. For some unknown reason, I wanted one but their high price dissuaded me from ever trying to buy one.
I see a couple (SS) around town and I just can't stop staring at that rear with the SS logo.

In the last month i had a chance to pick up some square 18x9.5 tires with used 265/35 pss which got me away from the oem 19" and staggered fitment.
Of course this meant some negative camber, rolled rear fenders, and lowering springs in order to not be a mexiflush 4x4.  The wider/grippier tires up front helped enormously with steering feel. The numbness and unresponsiveness complained about in interviews is essentially gone. Took it to cones the first week I had the car while still bone stock. The oem re050a tires were an issue, but otherwise I was actually impressed with how the car felt, it stayed composed the entire time. Not terrible for a 4,000 lb sedan. Overall, I'm still happy as a pig dipped in shit with it. Everything is as expected or better in a good way. Minus the mpg which was exactly as shitty as expected (used to have an ls2 gto, still have a c5).
