They both use the same cylinder, but the connection to the masters line is different. A lot of GTO guys will just buy an f-body cylinder then swap the connection off their old cylinder.

Its probably availability. Thats the only difference between the two. Maybe the GTO's connection is made in Australia only for the holden stuff vs. the f-bodies fitting that more available and used on everything from trucks, f-bodies, vettes, etc. I know when we looked into making our GTO master kits we tried to buy the hard metal line between the master and the slave and there was litterally only one in the states. Master cylinders for the GTO's were also hard to get ahold of for a while, but I'm not sure if thats still the case.
