one drive/ride in the GTO and you won't miss the T/A at all....I love my GTO and the only time I regret not driving the Z28 is when its a warm summer night and I could have the T Tops off....otherwise, the ride, seats, interior features and power are so addictive. No, the GTO doesn't have the gorgeous looks of the WS6, but its far from ugly, its a more European look, but the drivetrain is pure muscle car.

Thumbs up

What does "P" magnet mean?!?!
You mean pu**y magnet? Man, I thought we drove these cars because they were fun to drive and are quick?!!?
If you want a "P" magnet, may I suggest a Corvette?!!?
But if I had a choice between the 2 that you mentioned, I would say WS6 without a doubt!!!! GOOD LUCK!!!

will i had the same choice either WS6, GTO, or Z06.... i knew what the Trans Am drove like and it was awesome and fast....Then i was looking at the GTO LS2, 6 speed, real comfortable, awesome interior, good looking but to me was not a big step up from a WS6 besides the LS2....now not trying to influence u but i thought the C5 Z06 was going to be real expensive and i knew the car was already fast and looked better than a WS6 and GTO combined.... Bad *** engine, interior, and exterior. now if u r looking to step up get into a vette... it is a complelty different animal . look into costs and insurance u may be surprised that it is not more but almost the same. i pay around waht u pay in terms of monthly payment. THINK ABOUT IT< DRIVE ALL THE CARS U WANT BEFORE U DECIDE.

05/06 GTOs have 80 more ponies than the WS6, but is also heavier, and Australian. The WS6 looks bad *** even when resting! I think you know what to keep!

400hp - 345hp = 55hp, not 80hp . Canadian isn't much better than Australian either! Lol.

T/A, I've driven a couple of GTO's while my car was in the shop, they are certainly nice to drive, but they just feel heavy, and the one I drove wasn't slow, it would have blown my doors off. That being said I just don't like them that much, the rear quarters are HUGE and tall, limited wheel width options, are a little bland looks wise. If you have to get a new car, get a FRC C5 (base or ZO6, doesn't matter). Thats my opinion.

You should check HOW MANY cars have been made HERE in the last 30 YEARS..and btw--our UNION WORKERS are NOT always complaining about their HEALTH CARE either. ...BESIDES...Do you have no respect for the LARGER COUNTRY on THE Continent...

Lol, I wasn't implying they were bad cars, but guy was pointing out that Austrailian is a bad thing (which it isn't) while driving an import as well. I have a few Canadian friends, my uncle lives up there, and my dad has some hotels in Hamilton and they are building another one. If it wasn't so freakin cold in the winter I'd probably live there!

i would stay with the WS-6, its just a way more aggressive sex looking car and if you are worried about the gto being faster just do full bolt ons and you will be set.
