I actually really dont like that bodykit or the hood on the yellow car ^^. And I like the holden front end but i dont think that GM really screwed up. think about what the gto was when it came out in 64. It was a regular old lemans. They took a big heavy regular looking car and dropped a big motor in it. hence the birth of the muscle car. So what did GM do with the new ones. They took a regular almost plain looking car and put a high hp motor in it. It may not be like the whole retro craze started by the mustangs but it did stay close to its GTO roots in my opinion. Yes they could have made it look a little beefier and meaner but its more of a sleeper car. It doesnt need to attract all the attention like the new mustang did because real car guys would know what it was and what it was capable of.

 

You're really getting bent over a table but what are you going to do other than go to a different school/get more $$$$

 

Well To be honest... I make out pretty damn good with aide/scholarships.... and if this scholarship I am applying for goes through.... the blazer will get shackles and tires to pick it up a bit.... but there is a scholarship for 10k that I hope to get and will drop half of it in a Go fast car fund... The fiancee almost bit when I said, it could be a hella down payment on a new camaro.... but even then its still like a 400 dollar payment a month.. .sadly....

Someone needs to win the lottery for me lol....

I have heard Bradley Graduates making anywhere from 50-115k first year out....

My sister, wont tell me how much, but she got her degree in Accounting and I think she is banking over 50k.... but idk... She is so uptight you couldnt tell if she made 10 bucks or 1 million.... which is good I guess....

Also looking at retirement funds... using some IME 301 math, if I were to bank 10k every year in a saving account, retirement would have over 1,000,000 in the bank... but Idk if that will ever happen... gosssdamn money

 

I see what you're saying but where I'm going to school cost $15,000 and year, 99% job placement withing a year (something like 85% in a related field), and for the mechanical engineering lowest pay was $40,000, median pay was $60,000 and top pay was ~$95,000. None of which are bad starting salaries for a 22 year old kid.

+ after a few years (paying off loans and getting setup) I'm planning on going back to MSOE for a masters, so $80,000 + starting salary


+ I'm still waiting to here back about any scholarships

 

My friend had a 04 GTO with a LS1 and it was pretty fun dad's truck has the 6.0 in it and it's pretty fun. The truck is like 360hp or something like that. It will set ya back in the seat.

 

I feel you... at Bradley there was 100% job placement until last years senior class, and then it was about 98%, but thats still odds that I like.... I would be happy as a kid in a candy store to
1.Graduate
2.get a job
3.make over 50k
4.pay off loans
5.buy a go fast car and finish the blazer...

 

Sounds like a great plan especially #3 and 5

 

Its is, and I also told my fiancee that if I got a decent job, her schooling would be paid for lolz.... she wants to be a wedding/event planner, which is cool but there arent any good schools in the area....

I have always wanted to get a 6 speed manual transmission "sports car" but always looked towards the f-bodies (any year) and more recently the gto as well as the ssr ( call it ugly, it was a beast)

 

The GTO are pretty sweet but I'd rather have a Camaro. The SSR is unique to stay the least, it really isn't my flavor but to each his own.

 

I actually like the SSR's too. Most think their ugly but they have that old school hotrod look. But pretty much anything that GM put an LS2 in would be nice to have. Between the vette, gto, ssr, Trailblazer ss, and the CTS-v you cant really go wrong.
