Well, If 04 GTO fires are such a problem than why aren't those owners/victims filing complaints with the US government?? Just for the heck of it I went to the NHTSA site to see for my self and here is what I found:
http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/complain/results.cfm
Yep thats right only one complaint out of the 10K or so GTO's sold.
Personally if I wanted to get the straight scoop on this the last place I would go is ls1.com or what ever. I wonder how many people who have had a fire can say they have never touched or modified thier car? Sorry for your loss. At least you're not crying there is some evil conspiracy by GM to cover up the problem caused by your tinkering. Sounds like you have enough common sense in that area.
Edit: It looks like my link didn't copy worth a damn. You can do it yourself. Go to the NHTSA site and start clinking on anything to do with cars. Enter in 04 GTO and fuel system complaints.
Edit2: Here is a copy and paste. Whose VIN is that?
