GTO... Much more enjoyable and comfortable car to drive.

I've been driving my GTO for a week now, and I had it torn apart last night installing some stuff... had to make a run for parts, so I took my WS6 to the store... and man... I could not believe what a piece of **** that car felt like after driving the GTO for a week.

Don't get me wrong, I love the **** out of my 'Birds... but the GTO is just a much more pleasant car to drive.

Hawk no doubt. To me there is no comparison. Im sure the GTO is more comfy and rides better but thats not what i bought my car for. I didnt buy my WS6 for ride quality and interior, i guess if i wanted that I would have bought something different than a sports car. All the look and stares you get driving make up for the harsh ride.

LOL. The two main issues I can't stand about my 98 TA anymore; draws too much attention and rough ride. To each their own I guess.

Tuff question, since the GTO is technologically better in several categories, but the look is nothing like an F-body.

Can I take the LS2 engine and F-body styling?

POS? Dude, you need to take better care of your car if you want it to drive right. I take great care of my WS6 and it handles great. Or, maybe the soft ride of the GTO has softened you up and the harsh ride of the WS6 suspension was too much for ya now?

I owned a 95 Hawk with the bilstein suspension and now have a 04 GTO. Both cars were 6 speeds and completely stock and funny thing is ran identical 1/4 mile times of 13.7. I will be getting rid of the GTO come December and getting another f-body probably a 02 SS, as the GTO rides and drives too much like a front wheel drive passenger car. You can't feel the road, you get zero feedback from this car so you have no idea whats it doing, and it has major body roll. Quality wise they are about even, the only thing the GTO has over the Hawk is the interior.
