Default Which Car!!!?????

ok guys getting another car but cant decide between 2
ok one is 06 GTO six speed orange, the other is 02 SS 6sp and orange as well. i know modding the ss will be easy and proven but i like the GTo looks so its a tuff choice. any help will be great. and i plan on turbo on either one i get with forged 402/408
Thanks guys

with the gto i wouldnt do anything past a bolt on s/c or turbo. stock manifolds and everything, it's just how i liked the gto to be.

if you want a cam/head/f.i. setup i'd go with the trusty old f-body

If you're looking for a pre-modded orange SS DIRT CHEAP, let me know. I found my next car, but I don't have the money
