It is a 100% serious post. I wanted a 5.0 until I went and checked one out for myself. Cheesy and cheap were my first thoughts. I actually thought the SN95 and new edge cars have a better interior. 05+ is HORRID, 11+ isn't much better. And the manual is god awful.
It is a great performance bargain no argument there.
But given the choice between a low mile SS/WS6 and a 5.0 with similar miles, I'm picking the F-body.![Mullet](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/mullet.gif)

It's actually a double wide, get your facts straight suga.
I think it is more modern, just from the sake of better technology but not necessarily "nicer". Especially the base model cars. Yuck.

I know the F-body interior is garbage, never said it wasn't. lol. The new edge cars are about the same level of shitty-ness on the inside, but I would still take both over the 11+ interior. I hate it.

I will agree with you on the exterior design. They are alright looking but not the greatest. I just would have wished GM took the original GTO from say 67 and modeled it after that some what.

Ya that would of been better to retro the gto a bit cause I think the new design was horrible, nothing but a 2 door cavalier that's fast

I loved the GTO. I thought it was a logical progression of what the GTO would have looked like had it continued production, but it wasn't so well-received because people got used to Pontiac (and American companies in general, in the 90s/00s) putting scoops and bulges on everything.

Even GM knew they were taking a big gamble with the same body as the G cars for the new ls1 GTO. Hence sales were terrible. Too bad. There would have been loads more ls1 & ls2 GTO's running around today if they had made a larger investment in the body design.
That said still a great car and future collectable.

Or let me guess, you're down in Immocolee or up near Gainsville?
