If I would have been at the place i got my car a week earlier I would have had one.

Got into some money eh? LOL. Congrats.         

ironically no, just a good price and considering i live at home with about $150 a month total going into bills it won't be a problem. I've got about 600 a month to play with as far as car payment, insurance, and gas money goes right now, if i get a raise at work that jumps to about 1k a month for whatever LOL.  I've always wanted a GTO and settled for the G6 as it was my first car and now that its been a few years i'm like alright, i want something a bit better and happened across this a few weeks back and was like OMG! especially since they are getting to be rare.
 
Only thing is... i've never really driven stick and its manual, but i'm learning to drive manual on a friends car so that when i sign the papers i'll be good to drive home, might not be pretty but i will haha.

Oh ok. Cool.        =)

Always be mindful of the gas prices now a days. It is not as cheep as it once was. 

Given financial circumstances, I would not do a GTO in your shoes especially with an increase in gas, and insurance its not worth it unless you can back it up.

This is what I was thinking but, I'm not going to judge. I'm tired of giving people advice and watching it go in one ear and out the other.
 
OT: Nice car. I agree with the clutch/tire thing. Be ready to burn it out lolz.

Congrats Moose! I say drive the hell outta it!!

which i've kept in mind ;)  If the figures i've found for gas mileage are close to what i actually get i'll be fine, travel distance from work to home is like half a mile at most and otherwise i'm out shopping maybe once a week or so, a tank of gas will still last me a few weeks.

Like above.  Insurance i checked ahead of time as well and to my surprise my insurance will only jump 20 bucks a month from 115 to 135, and considering just 6 months ago i was paying 250 a month for insurance its still a bargain.

If you seriously dont drive stick, I would set aside an extra $1500 for tires/clutch...one of which you almost certainly will need to replace during the learning process.

Respect the power and you'll prally b fine, grats.

5.7 or 6.0 btw?

which i realize and is why i'm learning to drive stick on a friends car right now that way when i do get it i'm not jumpiong in going oh rats.  its the 6.0 as well

I like your enthusiasm. I live 4 miles from work and 4 back, I thought I would lower my gas usage over my previous commute. But i got a more fun car, so now i go out of the house w/ an excuse to drive. Comes out to 60/week anyway lol.

I learned stick in about 20 minutes in the Kia Rio I got from RBH in Oklahoma... Easy peasy...

I renew my license this year for the first time...ever...lol

It can be tricky, just don't live in San Francisco, or whatever that hilly city is.

haha thanks for the advice guys and the support on learning stick, i know its not hard, just haven't driven stick before hehe.  And yeah holo your probably right, i say gas will be easy but i'm gonna be like well i'll detour 3 miles to get to work cause why not ROFL.  As for you nozler, stopping on hills won't be a problem, they don't exist in indiana! :P

Oh lord...i see many a tires and clutches in your future.  
 

Was that your first choice of color? No one is going to have trouble recognizing your car, that's for sure.  
 
My biggest problem with learning how to drive a clutch was no one told me that it was ok for the car to move a little bit while the clutch was still partially engaged. As soon as the car would start to move forward I would completely let go of the clutch very quickly and stall it. 

Did you test drive it already?
