Default GTO Vs. Z28 Vs. TA Vs. Other? For everyday Driver

Ok guys so I switched jobs and they took away my company truck so I need an everyday driver. So I dunno what to get. I'll be commuting 35 Miles One way per day(70mi). I already have a pickup if I need to haul something. Also going for a lil fuel economy. I like GTO's but A lot of people have mixed emotions. Love Z28/ss but there hard to find a clean one..same with trans ams. You guys have any other Ideas please tell. Also Why did you pick the car you have. Likes and Dis-likes. MPG?? Thanks guys

i use my 94' Z28 as a DD so id have to say that. even tho i heard GTO's are so much more comfortable and quieter. the squeaks of an F-body can get annoying sometimes

GTO has the nice comfy interior, and has fewer rattles, etc. I'd get one of those if I were you.

I would go GTO over any of the others. My brother has an 04 and it is much nicer inside. More comfortable and the whole interior is much better! Get the 6 spd and the gas mileage will be good to. It's has a nice smooth ride to it as well!

I have to agree, see sig.


But you could buy my trans am, it's one of the cleanest 98s around, and I don't drive it much, (since I bought the GTO as a daily driver)

honestly for a DD if that's all you are looking for go with a GTO, but since i drive a TA and it's my DD for the time being i voted for that haha.

I just went through this. I was either going to get a 6spd GTO or keep my 02 z28. I decided to keep my z because when it comes down to it, I prefer raw and visceral power as opposed to a posh ride provided by the GTO. GTO's ARE nice, but my camaro is more fun, sexier, and faster.
