If you google.....you'll see some. But not sure what point of view you are looking for? Are you wanting to see the size difference? I'd be willing to be the camaro is a tad longer. The dash is definitely longer on the camaro. There better room under the hood of the GTO and its easier to work on under the hood. The bottom of the gto is shaped better so you can put dual 3" exhaust easily. Gto is heavier but rides better. It has independent rear suspension. The camaro handles better but the *** end isn't as light on the GTO. GTO interior is Leaps and bounds better. The Camaro definitely makes a better drag car, gto a better daily driver.

I was looking for differences in lenght between the two. My brother is thinking of selling his 6.0 M6 GTO and I was contemplating selling me 96 Z and purchasing his

You use Google to search for the length of practically any vehicle. The 1996 Camaro comes in at 193.2" and the 2005 GTO is 189.8".

yea, definitely do that. The lt1 cars were poop compared to ls1 cars. And his has a ls2 which is even better. In my opinion, the GTO is leaps and bounds a better car. Less rattles and squeaks. Drives better. Rides better. Faster. You’ll get more looks. I was driving to work last week and a guy gets on the side of me and starts videoing my car. I get stuff like that all the time. For some reason people love those cars.

Parts availability and suspension issues are something to be aware of if planning on a GTO, especially for a daily driver. Even these cars had quality issues with their interior, such as the disintegrating seat stitching. They were never well-loved in my area, and the few that still remain seem to get even less attention than a 4th gen F-body (exception being a WS6 T/A...everybody still loves and notices those like an exotic). But the LS2 would certainly be an upgrade.
