I am not very wild on the f-body styling myself although I really dig the SS Z28's look with decent wheels and a drop.

Heres the opinion of a viper /vette owner...
The SS camaro/WS6 looks much much nicer than the GTO..
the GTO didnt sell well cas it
's ugly PERIOD...
It is a freakin australian car with a v8 in it. so go figure on the ugly looks..
With 400 HP and a decent sporty interior the GTO would still be selling at MSRP..Instead the goats been dead eaten and sacraficed for quite some time...
Honestly....Could you imagine a Ss camaro or WS6 with the LS2 and 400 HP..It would sell like hot cakes man.

I could care less about this which looks better arguement because it is everyone's own opinion. Tell you the truth I didnt buy my car for the looks, I bought it cause it runs circles around most factory cars offered at the time. I wanted a brand new car for once and I made the right choice.
With 400hp and a sporty interior it would still be selling at msrp? Are you really that retarded? Just making sure you do realize that they DO have 400 hp and an interior that rivals that of your beloved pissed of UPS Truck. (Viper dummy)
Oh yea, dont forget the fact that my ugly *** australian car would do bad, bad things to your Viper.

I love the BOM!FWIW my friend has an 06 GTO, I have an 00 Formy. I've been in his car plenty of times and he used to own an f-body as well. The GTO is hands down a nicer car, I will gladly agree, interior alone is exponentially nicer. Would I buy one? Sure. Would I replace my formula with one? No.

and for shi*ts and giggles the average C5 weighs 3250 pounds and dynos 295 rwhp
While all this looks like just a bunch of numbers...What it really means is that with an 2.1 60 ft and average driver....
-The fbody will pull a 13.5 at 106
-The GTO will pull a 13.3 at 108
-The C5 will pull a 13.3 at 108
CAN A STOCK FBODY DO BETTER THAN 13.5???? HELL YEA..BUT IT WILL NEED A BETTER 60 FT THEN THE GTO AND C5 TO RUN THE SAME TIMES
The GTO and C5 both have a slightly better power to weight ratio and will always trapp 2 mph higher on average. This is why you loosing by 2 cars is exactly right..
The GTO's have a bad rapp due to the 2004 model. It's 3700 pounds and 290 rwhp on average made it the slowest LS1 car ever available to the public..
Off a 2.1 60 ft..try 13.8 at 103 mph..Or basicly a 350Z with an pop charger ( air intake)
