Remember the G8 is not really a Pontiac, it is a Holden, like the GTO, and has already been in production for 2 years in Aus. As far as I can tell the GTOs have held up well over the years and alot of the problems they do have been fixed in the G8.

I'm not going to be able to make it to Phoenix. I plan on going there soon, but my work schedule is pretty hectic. I've been wanting to run my car with new combo for a while now.

I've driven both ls6 and ls2 CTS-V's and both ls1 and ls2 GTOs. The CTS-V does have better brakes and it might be quicker. The main thing that made me choose the GTO over the CTS-V was bang for the buck. The 04 GTO's like mine have gotten really cheap. It would have cost 6-7K more to get a V that was in as good a shape as the GTO I bought. I've had expeirence with the normal CTS and I must say that build quality is really about equal. The GTO definately has the sleeper factor which is pretty cool in my book. Just my own opinion and expierence.

Im considering both vehicles myself,plus a c5 vette, but I think I stick to the more unbusiness-like GTO, and Im poncho man, its cheaper for me to make the GTO look sick the to make the V look custom and nasty. I cant afford to buy a 1000 cowl hood. Plus Im used to a transam that handles flawless, and id rather slling the rear around which on my test drives has proven more easily done.

I have to totally disagree with you. Both cars are nice. IMO the seats in the gTo are far more comfortable. IF you want heated seats, navi, & sunroof go with the V.

But, you can get a better deal on a 05-06 GTo than the V.

Those were my 2 choices of a new car and i went with a Gto.

I love it!

Ya, not sure were he got a warmed over grand prix? I would go w/ the GTO also but I have a 4 yr old daughter w/ another baby due in Aug so the V would better fit me once I am able to jump into it!

The GTO isn't seen as often as the CTS. Only a discriminating eye would notice the CTS-V. Go for the inexpensive AND more exclusive option, the GTO.

that can depend on the location you live... I see about 2 or 3 GTO's a week and only see 1 or 2 cts-v's a month
