Well I'm Torn..... Well a month ago I decided I wanted to buy a new daily driver my two choices came down to a 06 Gto and A 08 G8 Gt. so I go out an say this is goin to be easy I'm gonna go test drive them both. What ever one I like more an feel more comfortable in I'll get... Well that didn't work n ow i'm stuck can't decide loved both of them..... I need some help what do you guys think the Gto or the G8.... |
goat! a friend of mine has a g8 gt, but i wasnt impressed. but it all dpends on whether you're talking ls1 or ls2 goats |
None of the above. Mod that Camaro and spank that 03 Cobra. |
Thats a totally dif fund Marco lol That cobras gonna be getting beat by busses by the end of the year and if I buy a Goat its gonna be the Ls2 |
I'd get a TBSS to tow the race car :) |
Tough call. The G8 will give you way more cargo and passenger room, but you will only have an automatic option unless you go with the expensive GXP model. GM has a $3,000 kickback or 0% on the G8 right now. However you can get a nice slightly used 06 GTO for under 20k. For a D/D with some utility I say the G8. If you want a sporty car to play with then GTO. |
I will say G8, ive been in both and with the 6 speed auto, it makes up so much of a difference and seems that 6L80e is just the perfect split of gearing and durability. The Room is phenominal compared to the GTO. I sat SO comfortable in the rear and im 6'4" plus like said the incentives are there. |
go with the GTO |
Obviously the GTO will be cheaper but not looking at the finances I'd say the G8 all the way, it's way more of a car than a GTO IMO. But what exactly do you want out of the car? The GTO will be faster out of the box and will be faster with mods but the G8 is more luxury. |
GTO IMO i have always been impressed by there design and interior and sound.... |
i would go with the G8:thumb: |
Personally I'd go with the G8. I like a big 4 door for the daily driving duty. The GTO's are great cars, and I was going to pick up either an LS2 GTO, C5Z or an 03 Cobra last go around. I'd just stick with a 4 door for everyday though, it's convenient.

Nothing is wrong with LS1 GTOs :( |
Either you need a 4 door (family car) or you don't. You may want a brand new car (G8GT) or a slightly used 06 GTO. We don't know. The only thing that we do know is that we will not be signing on the bottom line and paying for it - you will. Make a decision for you and not us. Just saying. |
come on you can fit a baby seat in a gto??? |
I'm digging the G8's right now. Of course I'm not a big racer...I'm more into just "cruisin'". Not sure which is better for you application. |
friends of mine have 08 g8. i would go with that. its a great car |
G8 esp if you have kids. (baby seat) |

If you want a 4-door DD get an used *cough* STi*cough*. I mean I'd take the GTO over the G8, but that's just me. :) |
