I love the GTO's but they are freakin expensive. I'm prob gonna be in the market for an lsx car next summer and was wondering if it is worth the extra coin for the Goat. Are they as much of a pain in the **** as fbodys to work on? I had an LT1 car and did a head swap, damn good thing I had access to a lift.

GTOs are better DDs imo. better build quality and ride. theres very good deals on them if you look around. they do have a ton of room under their hoods.


while i like my GTO i still like my fbody more. it just has that killer styling and kickass look. i'll probably be selling my GTO in about 2 yrs.


what your looking to do is a major factor in choosing one or the other.

I had an 04 gto and now a 2002 Z28. The gto as mentioned before does make a better dd, the interior and ride quality is alot more liveable. However the Z is faster, looks sportier and has alot more personality then the goat. So i guess its up to the person what kinda car they like more.... can't go wrong with either one in my book.

The truth is I'd rather have a GTO, it won't be heavily modded until I get out of college, but my budget will most likely force me to get an fbody. Which by all means isn't a bad thing at all Unless of cource gulp....I can only afford a mustang....gulp.....

I've owned an 04 GTO and an 01 Z28. As has already been stated, if your looking for a sweet DD'r then its hard to go wrong with the goat. However, if you want to do some track time and DD, your really better off with the Fbody.

No No No, you can find a good deal on either the Z or the Goat.

I drove an A4 04 Goat and I defintally like my M6 SS better. Wheel hop sucks . I did like the interior of the goat better but the goat just felt slugish compared to the SS, but that was probably due to it being an A4. I still want to drive an LS2 M6 goat but I havn't been able to yet. Anyone in the KC area wanna let me borrow theirs for a day

A gto is more comfy and has a nicer interior, thats about it ......they are fun to drive but lack the aggressive style of an f-body,weight more and cost more

Ls2 GTO>LS1 F-body>LS1 GTO>LT1 F-body

I agree. I had an 05 A4 for a year. Even started a growing car club for the GTO in the area. Spent 30K then about 5 more modding it mild. Spent 10 for the Z and am looking at about $1500-2000 for making more power in the LS1. An f-body is far and away a better way to go. Space and fitment are still an issue on either car. There are a lot of quality control issues with a GTO. You would be surprised how little trunk space you have with that fuel tank in the trunk. Then there is the weight ratio. Wheels are also a major nightmare due to the Australian/US design and execution. Everything on a Goat is much more expensive. They may have a nicer interior, but the cost to benefit ratio is poor. They are just as hard to work on, and parts will kill you. The styling is also very vanilla. Save your money for mods, laugh all the way to the bank, and smoke that GTO at the track. If you want one, buy one. If you have that kind of money though, look for a solid use Vette and be much happier with the result. I am not bashing the GTO, but side by side they are not as good as you would think.

im going have to disagree, the gto ls1 has the same engine as the f body, but u are right the rears are differnet and there is some issues with wheel hop, which can be cheaply adverted, i love my gto while all i ever did was test drive a ls1 fbod or 2 i owned a lt1 T/A I love my gto and how much does a ls1 f bod weigh? my goat according to GM weighs 3725. The gto rides much better smoother than any f bod ever rode in, yes they are much more expensive but there worth it in my opinion. And the gto feels stronger than any f bod i ever drove and i oncve was going buy an 01 SS which it ran good real good, any way thats my thoughts on it

Hands down the GTO is the better car, especially if you opt for the LS2. I love my fbod, but there are so many things that could have been done better.

If I could pick all over again I'd get a GTO. It has more options and features that the fbodies dont.

looks, cool factor, relative cheapness of parts = LS1 F body

stupid amount of power and comfort, more options = LS2 GTO

if it was possible to get a new GTO in Canada, i wouldve gotten one instead of my hemi ram and 00 Z28, however the ram is a nice DD and the Z28 is a super fun car

GM thought the new GTO's were gonna come out flying off the show room floors just because it had the "GTO" name plate and they didnt feel they would be able to supply the US and canadian market, so they never registered it as a car for canada.

i also wanted the new GTO to park beside my 68 GTO which i am currently restoring.

i still want a new GTO. it has a classy look to it, but, you'd still be happy with either i bet

I currently own both... I like my WS6 for cruises, my Formula for drag racing, and my GTO for daily driving.
