You look like a huge fan boi.
It doesn't take an auto-cross junkie to realize the stock suspension is junk. Hell, look on ls1gto. People with less than 10,000 miles of ownership have gone in for warranty work.
Saggy springs, rotted bushings, terrible wheel hop with the IRS, overall it just sucks. The car handles and brakes like a suburban.
Sure, there's some aftermarket parts to fix this but, you can't polish a turd.
The gto is and will always be, a big lazy highway cruiser.

IF your going to get a vette over a GTO make it a C6 instead of a C5. While C5's can be quick for the the extra cost you get the LS2 in a platform that wont have issues in terms of wheel choices and fitment.
Even though GTO owners have this issue with wheels I wouldnt personally get rid of my GTO. It was a limited run production car and with all these young knuckeheads totalling them out and getting sent to Cleveland Pick a Part, they will eventually be even more rare in the future.
