All good cars. No **** here about the sti although being on ls1 tech i do have a gto or ss preference lol. Definitely if you want a nice dd cruiser the gto is the way to go. You want more of a all out sports car feel the ss will be better.

it never ends... im always hunting.. theres an 02 WS6 auto NBM local with 75k on it. pretty clean/stock minus shorty headers and a ton of scratches.. the gto is really hard to put anyone in there, especially car seats, once they are there though, quite comfy in back... all your choices are winners in my book

If i could start over again with the money I spent on my WS6, well, I'd probably do the same thing or get an SS. Although the 05-06 GTO has the LS2 the car just isn't all that appealing to me for some reason. When you own one of these cars, its gotta look ballzy and the GTO just doesn't cut it IMO, get another SS or a nice WS6.

I was picky too, trust me when I tell you. I had quite a few F Bodies to pick from when I was looking for my T.A. I picked mine because it was factory original, garaged, and owned by a 79 year old man. He took really good care of it and I knew the car wasn't molested like a decent amount of them are. It was in the color I wanted, only thing I didn't like was the auto but I decided to deal with it for what I paid for the car and the shape it was in, couldn't pass it up.

Either way, whatever you decide to do keep us posted and happy hunting! Can't wait to see what you get!

I'm praying the 02 is a true ss and not a clone and the trans shifts well that's my goal is to find a stock non molested well kept car I really regret getting rid of my ss even more now
