Default Another dumb newbie...

Hi, my name's Casey and I'm a 20 year old college kid... and another new guy to the ls1 forum. I'm not new to american power however. I've had about 10 s-series trucks including 2 Typhoons, a Syclone, and tons of other stuff (and no mommy and daddy didnt buy them for me. Mom's dead, dad's crazy) I currently own a Green Typhoon and a red e36 M3....blah blah blah, anywho, I'm looking at the new GTOs to replace my M3 as a daily driver, and from what I've read they're great dds. With an LS and a T56 backing it up I can't see how anything on those cars could go wrong unless improperly maintained? What do you guys think? Between the Z28, GTO, and WS6, I think the goat is gonna be the best dd, (and best looking.) Or at least the best until I can afford the insurance to get a C5 Z06 (bad record.) Anyway just wanted to introduce myself, thanks.

Casey

Welcome to the forum.....I think the GTO is the heaviest of your list but
if you find a low mileage 6 liter you'll be starting with more power

The GTO with 6.0 makes a great starting point. Besides you can reach the plugs on those.

Ws6 best looking exterior, gto best looking interior, 6.0 great base to start. It is heavy but better suspension. Camaro lightest cheaper and looks like a catfish on steroids.
