Default DReam drive :)

OK well this is a weird post but man last nite I had a dream that was so amazing and it made me so happy ..oh and it seemed,like the most fun I could possibly have...i was in a 05/06 gto m6 and I was driving around town in it and each time I hit 2nd to 3rd it put a huge smile on my face feeling the pull of it lol...it was so comfortable and just great...lol I drive a 02 a4 camaro ss with bolt ons...so tell me guys should I get a 05/06 gto m6?? Because I kind of know how to drive stick but I do sometimes still stall.....are gto s better cars then f bodys? Are they funner? Please guys who have gone from a f bod to a goat please is it worth it? Lets say I just wanted a mild cam+ LTs+catback+gears+intake would I have to upgrade alot of stuff,meaning rear end trans ect.. Well let me know guys...i am selling my car now its on here+ ebay for sale....so lets hope ......

i really like my goat alot...its a powerful, fun , comfortable muscle car. to be perfectly honest, i do miss my 99 Z28. if i had it to do all over again i would have kept my Z AND bought the goat. i have a hard time comparing the two. they are apples and oranges in my mind. the Z28 m6 was just a blast to drive. the handling was great. the gto is a family car (well its my family car )that has great power, great ride, and descent handling.

Default Mine!

I couldn't make up my mind either. So i bought both! LOL But I may be selling the 22K mile bone stock GTO here real soon as having 2 play cars drives my wife (freaking crazy) that she still drives a 04 ford Taurus LOL
My GTO is definatly more comfortable and powerful then my once stock 02 SS, but i have way too much into the twin turbo camaro now to really sell her
Let me know if your interested in my Silver 06 GTO auto hereHeres a few pics of each

For a DD ide say yes!
Its like riding in a BMW with freakin ***** and everybody looks at you too when your sporting one IMO Who gives a **** about 60ft times Thats when you buy a high mile SS and mod the **** out of it like i did .The only other stock street car thats ever beaten me since owning my GTO here was a LS2 vette lol

YEah I want my DD to be a trailblazer ss . But idk I am trying to decide if I should keep my SS or go to a GTO.. I want a mid 11 sec car thats semi comfortable and fun.. So I guess I am leaning towards the ss and throwing h/c and a th400 with a 12bolt...lol I know its gonna take time..i just hope not that much time...

Why don't u hit up the closest dealer with a GTO and test drive it? You are making this entire decision much harder than it really is.. Once u drive it the choice should be pretty obvious.

Same here!
I tryed selling my SS for half of what i have into her at $30K with alot of tire kickers and no takers and refuse to give her away at much less and is why i was thinking of just selling my GTO. But hands freaking down,, the GTO IMO is SOOOO much a sweeter (all round) car power and ride wise then my 35th LE camaro SS EVER was when she was stock ! The SS feels like a freakin race car now with everthing ive done to her LOL and is why i really dont take any long trips or vacations with her anymore. Ill drive my GTO across the US if the wife would let me LOL
Get the GTO my man and trust me (You wont look back) as long as it has the 6.0 and not the 5.7. Now, if your looking at a earlyer GTO with the 5.7 ide opt for the SS then !Just my worthless 2 cents here!

PS The GTO's are holding their value alot higher too then what the F bodys are!
