From Bird to Goat...
To the OP: Im not much farther behind you. Im selling my bird for a gto SOON as I find a decent 06
OP nice looking GTO, you really can't beat the build quality compared to any generation F-Body.
LS1 firehawks routinely run low 13's even high 12's stock...
so i'd have to agree in the 1/4 mile:
LS1 Firehawk > LS1 Goat
an LS2 goat would be more comparable to a firehawk/ss/ws6 fbody.
I'm not speaking ill of Goats, they're just heavier than fbody's...

GTO vs. Fbody arguments aside, it's still a GM, it's an awesome car with tons of potential.[/QUOTE

Congrats on getting a goat. I was fortunate enough to keep my rare sunfire yellow built ta. I gave it to the son. Ahhh to be 17 and to have a built ta..."damn spoiled kids nowadays".....lol
you can shave well over 100lbs. off of the goat w/o being able to tell. empty trunk,take off skidplate,fuel tank brace,and tow hitch brace.
Hopefully you can find your ta in a few yrs. and buy it back, your going to miss it sooner then later...

stock LS1 Goats run 14 seconds flat in the 1/4 all day long routinely-i've seen dozens of them do it with the best of drivers. I don't care if it's a 6 speed or an A4.
LS1 firehawks routinely run low 13's even high 12's stock...
so i'd have to agree in the 1/4 mile:
LS1 Firehawk > LS1 Goat
an LS2 goat would be more comparable to a firehawk/ss/ws6 fbody.

yea just for the record i never said the firehawk was 1/2 second quicker than its trans am and ws6 brothers i was talking about the ls1 goat( not even the ls2 goat). the firehawk is faster even by just a little bit in comparison to them(ws6 and trans am). just cuz i joined last year doesnt make me an idiot when it comes to fbodys and lsx cars. im sry if i came off as a jerk before and i did not want to hijack the thread i just have a strong preference to f-bodys over gtos. i think people who have been on here longer than me can appreciate that.
^ your comments let us all know very well where your intelligence level stands.
To the OP, great looking car! I never even considered a GTO as a DD.. now that I think about it, once my 408 car is converted to race-only (very soon, lol) and I get tired of my other DD I very well may look in to a 6spd LS1 GTO to be my DD. Roomy, HUGE UPGRADE over an fbody for interior, good fuel mileage with a 6spd, and still quick enough to beat 90% of other cars on the road.
Thanks for this thread.
