How does the GTO stack up to a 4th Gen LS1? I know their about 200 lbs heavier. Other than that pro's, and cons would be appreciated. Feed back from owners that actually made the switch would be greatly appreciated!

I think the ls2 gtos are a drivers race the gto would probebly edge a f body on a roll but the gtos are more confurtable i was test driving both a 05 gto and 02 trans am i ended up geting the trans am cause i love the way they look. But i think the gtos look pretty dam good themselves!

I had a 3rd gen and my buddy had a 4th gen and I personally wouldnt go back to an Fbody but like the guy above said just scroll back a couple pages or search theres a thread on people that switched from fbody's to gto's and it runs like 6 pages deep so check that out.

My dad has an 01 WS6 an I have an 06 GTO. It's a drivers race between us, goes either way. Both are M6 cars with cat-backs.
The two cars where built for two different purposes so comparing them beyond that is pointless. Much like saying should I buy a GTO or G8? Well what do you want? Go test drive the two cars and the differences will become immediately apparent.

Second of all, if someone asked me what car they should buy between an LS2 GTO, and a 4th gen, guess what I would tell them. I would tell them the GTO is by far the better car.
And did you see the "4th Gen" in the title of this thread dumb ***? Quit being so cocky. If my car trapped 140mph I wouldn't go around rubbing it in peoples faces thinking that I was Billy bad ***.

I have had both F-body and currently own a GTO... Goats are extremely great for modding and daily drivers and are fun for the track too. But the F-body has a greater performance parts selection at a cheaper price. Overall, you can make an F-body faster for cheaper. But if you want a comfortable, roomy, low 12's daily driver, the GTO is the way to go. I did enjoy my Formula though...

Unbiased opinion here...
The GTO is a more refined/more comfortable car. It handles better and feels more "solid". The f-body is cheaper to mod has more of a muscle car feel. I personally love both cars but I prefer f-bodies. I just feel more comfortable in them (probaly because I've been driving 4th gens since I was 16). As a DD the GTO wins hands down, as a drag car the F-body wins hands down etc. etc. They are both awesome cars and really can't go wrong with either but they weren't built with the same things in mind so it's very difficult to compare them. Yeah an LS1 GTO may lose to an LS1 WS6 but the GTO will take it in the turns etc. etc.
