Gto mechanical issues?

Is thr infamous strut rub the only major issue with the gtos? I ask because im gonna buying either a 06 gto or a g8.. Really going back and forth on which one I want.. Either one wont be left stock.

Saggy rear springs, strut and front radius rod bushings are common wear items. The strut bushing also can cause strut rub from being collapsed

You got kids and need room for passengers? = G8

You want a real muscle/sports car? = GTO
