Default Modded LS1 VS. LS2 GTO
I have a question for you guys. Should I go with a LS1 Camaro with bolt ons with close to 100K miles on it for close to $7,000 OR should I go with a stock LS2 GTO with 50K miles on it for $9,000?!?

Between those two, I'd take the GTO. But overall I would prefer a Camaro or Trans Am over the GTO. I prefer the F-body styling.

I dont know about potential......my decision would be heavily biased upon whether it is a DD or not.

Not a DD......Camaro
DD.......GTO

It will be a DD...yes the potential, stock vs. stock...you cant go wrong with 50 more rwhp like in the 05-06 GTO...

So therefore it dosent matter what mod that you go with, say if you do the exact same intake, full exhuast, heads/cam, tune on both cars...you will always have more rwhp with the GTO than the F-body.

You will always have more weight in the GTO, as a side note.

But the Camaro would normally sell for 8-9 grand, and the GTO would normally sell for 16-18 grand.

And you will always have more weight. Stock for Stock, the Fbody is still faster than the GTO, same with bolt-ons.

If you can get the GTO for 9k, get the gto

each has there own points, but drive a camaro/transam then drive the gto.

If you can buy the GTO for 9k then you would be stupid as hell not to buy it.

stock vs. stock, fbody all day.


and id love to see a gto handle better then my car.

on a side note, buy the gto and call it a day. if i would have found a GTO for that price when i was looking for my car i would have taken it in a heartbeat.

other than power, you dont have to worry about the rear end with the gto, have a better interior, way better feeling suspension.
