having owned a gto, i'd say gt500 all the way. i got tired of not being able to get normal wear and tear parts at the local parts store. almost everything for the gto will require a trip to the dealer or ordering and waiting, not good when its your dd.

Yeah...I needed to clarify, I was referring to mods..100.00 pulley and tuner (400) will gain just as much as cam only LS2 for less and you don't have to buy a ton of ancillary components.....valve springs, oil pump, timing set, cam, pushrods, plus install/labor if you do not do it yourself will run you close to 2K.

Holy **** it is???!!!! I know the GT500 is more than GTO used or new, purchase price aside, its fairly easy and inexpensive to make great power with GT500. You can make a 100 RWHP for peanuts with a GT500, it would cost thousands to do that with goat (H/C/I). Also consider most folks are going to finance a vehicle, so it's not like he will have 15-20K in cash for go fast parts if he goes the goat route.
