I was looking at a GTO last year when my car went in for service they are comfey I didn't like the exterior look and the price but that's changed a bit the new hood looks nice and the price droped alot. But our next car is going to be all wheel drive and I'm keeping the Hawk.

I love the GTO! Espically the LS2 model!
When I had to move Mike's GTO Sat. night. to another spot in Don's driveway, I was gone for 30 minutes.....
And his car is an auto! I would hate to see the result of being in a M6!

I like the GTO because of it's comfort. The 1998 F-Body was an overhaul of the 1997. It still looks, rides and all of the parts fit like a car from that era. The GTO is an awesome car in my eyes, prob one of the best sports cars to come from GM in a long long time.
I don't want the GTO to run 9's, if I can run a 12.00 with Nitto's consistently I'll reach my goal.....a wicked comfortable, well manner street car that can take 99% of daily drivers. I'm not looking to purchase a GTO for the same purpose of your got you Z28. The F-Body is a much better car for racing but how often do I race, twice a year? I'm not buying a car I hope to have for years on end for 2 days out of a year.

A shot across the bow of the "Tomato" now you've hurt my feelings
It is not a driver any more it is a race car that sees street duty
Guess I'm just shallow and superficial but I can't get past the looks no mater how "wicked comfortable" or "well mannered" it is

I like the GTO, it's the type of style I like; a car I can mess around with at the track but more so something I can buzz around town in and take down others. It’s a fun car for everyday driving. It’s quick with just a few mods and you enjoy driving around in it. Either the looks haven’t grown on you or you like sports cars with more aggressive styling.

Whats your LT1 car weigh in race trim?
Pretty impressive setup......
We're taking an all motor 383 to the rental on th 14th...
Looking for 11.40's on motor,Built for N20 but the customer is not sure he wants to hit it with a shot,I built it for a 200 shot (We run a FAST/T-Com too)
Should go 10.40's on the juice,I must talk him into it over the winter

Hey, I just got back from taking a beat run in a new 05 Mustang GT M5 (a guy at work has one) and while I was wailing on it I noticed a pontiac behind me and didn't think much of it so I slowed down and let him catch up and whalla it was a 2004 GTO so we each got on it and stayed even till about 120 when I started pulling away from him, got to about 130ish and let off it as it wasn't my car and I was running out of fourth gear.
Man that was fun.
