No, the GTO doesn't have the gorgeous looks of the WS6, but its far from ugly, its a more European look, but the drivetrain is pure muscle car.
GTO is the better car through and through. I sold off my cammed 99 M6 Trans Am for a bone stock 06 A4 GTO and enjoy the GTO far more. The Trans Am was fun at WOT but that was it. The GTO I actually enjoy just driving even if it's doing the speed limit.

No question about it. Keep the TA. GTO's are the ugliest sports cars in the world IMO. I don't want to do this... but I'd have to say the Mustang looks better.
Did I honestly just say that? I'm sorry but it's true.

I know...I want to keep my T/A deep down, but than again this time next year it will have like 70k on it and i wont ever ever see that kind of trade in value again. I love the car but im missing that rush, prob. because its auto. The GTO is a stick and is LS2.

If you're looking for a car to mod and make fast the F-Body is the better choice. Lighter, solid axle.
If you're looking for a car that is built extremely well (leaps and bounds better than the F-Body), still can be made reasonably fast and handles just as good as an F-Body, rides nicer, and is just a better overall car then the GTO is the better choice.
It's all in what you're looking for in the car. An LS2 M6 GTO is going to feel pretty strong compared to your A4 LS1 F-Body if you're comparing them stock to stock (my A4 GTO was 6 tenths quicker and 3.5 mph quicker in the 1/4 mile over my A4 Trans Am when they were bone stock).
And as far as the styling is concerned... well thats all just personal preference I guess...

This fight has been going on since the GTO came out. While the GTO has appealed more to me than what it did when it first was released. I still get more looks and praise for my T/A from every age and gender. I don't get bugged by cops for being a "menace to society" or get just hillbilly gearheads who love the tradition of the fbody.
I will say this though. If you want something more comfortable and has a few little gizmos that the T/A doesn't have, then get it. If you want to save the money you would be spending on extra insurance since its a newer vehicle and the monthly payment (if your not paying for it in full), then keep your T/A and make it beautiful!
But thats my opinion

The only thing that I liked about the GTO was that the front doors weren't as big and heavy and it was easier to get in and out of. GTO's interior was definetly designed with comfort in mind more than the f-body's. Having said that, the GTO will never feel like a muscle car the way the WS6 does. The LS2 is a bonus,but if you had it in both cars, I think most people would go with the WS6. Driving down the road the GTO is more comfortable but the WS6 is definetly more fun.
