Default My GTS is Finally Delivered!!

It came in yesterday and I'm very happy with it. Only items it needs are a new chin spoiler (already have one sitting in the garage), new exhaust tips (the Borlas on there are uneven and look dirty), and a console insert around the shifter boot (the one in there is cracked).

The car runs excellent and everything works. And it will haul *** too!!

I had new Michelin PS2s put on yesterday after I got it.

I will soon be transplanting the x-pipe from my S4 over to the GTS. BaaaHHHHH!!!

"That's hot" (in my best Paris voice)
Congrats. Don't make the '87 too jealous by nabbing parts off it.

Nice plates...
Seeing as you have purchased, yet another, RED police magnet I would suggest donating to the
Lillington PD, Local County Sheriff's Assn., and of course the obligatory donation to the
State Troopers Survivor Fund.
Then ....
Put those stickers on the rear glass FAST.
Enjoy

CONGRATS DAVE, nice score. I have to say that when red is polished up it looks absolutely stunning, more so on a GTS with the nice rear hips.

More pics when you get a chance.

Next year you will be due for an OB car... Then a race car, an S parts car, a '92 GTS, an '85 S parts car, another S and an '82 Comp pack car and you will be all caught up w/ me... LOL! It is a terrible disease you have picked up...there is no cure either!

Wow. Sharp looking GTS. It looks like it was well worth the wait.
That sure is red.
I like the new black carpet that you've rolled out for it.
Now for some engine and interior pics.....
Oh, and I see that the 'World's Greatest Wife" let you upgrade before selling the '87.....thus confirming her title.

Congrats!
Beautiful car!!

You are going to fall in love w the HP/Torque, not that you haven't already!

BTW, how do you like the PS2s? Just about to pull the trigger on them myself as the GTS has completly burnded through the Fusions that came on the car!

She is definitely a good one!! She likes these cars as well.

I won't cry if my '87 S4 doesn't sell. I'd just assume keep it then sell it for less than $16k, since I have over $21k invested in it since March of this year.

I'll post some interior and engine shots tomorrow. Everything looks really good. Spare tire has never been out of the hatch and the air compressor and entire tool kit are there. The only thing missing is the cargo net, but there is one in my S4....

Changed the oil and filters this evening (Mobil 1 - 15w-50), so he has got some fresh blood moving through his veins.

Camera flash makes it look like the rear tail lights are on in this pic.
