Washed, Waxed and looking Decent

Finished up the underbody, interior and exterior detail on the WS6 and went and swapped it for the GTA (I generally only keep one of the toys at home, at a time).

It's the GTA's turn.. had a cars and coffee Sunday morning, so I gave it a quick wash and wax.. but it's getting a full paint correction and underbody detail next. This year is the year of really dialing the cars in and I'm excited for the outcome.. anyways.. here's the cars.

Yes your car is Stunning! I had a 1988 GTA Red Digital Dash T-Top but only 305 back in 1995 had it for two years. Your Pictures brought back a flood on memoirs still miss that car.

That's a loaded question.. haha if I'm looking for a better experience with the car and the car only.. definitely the 4th gen. 6 speed in the 4th, versus auto in the 3rd.. T56 is a blast to drive and having nearly twice the power to the wheels in stock form, it's just a little easier to have fun with.

If I'm considering external aspects like interest from folks while driving and just general head turns.. definitely third gens. I probably get a purchase offer once a month in the GTA, whereas the WS6 is just another silver car.

The GTA is also a lot more tame to slide around in and do burnouts in and such, if I'm looking to have a good time.

That's awesome! Some days I wish I had t-tops.. but I don't like how much these cars flex without them, so other days I'm happy I don't have them.

I don't know where you're located, but if you're in or near Southern WI, you are absolutely more than welcome to come relive some of those memories!
