I have been wanting a newer (or additional) car for a couple months now, and i have been looking at the (newer) Pontiac GTOs... does anyone know if there are years to stay away from, bugs, etc... or are they all pretty much the same? Thanks

It's all about the weight. GTOs weigh substantially more than an fbody.LS15 Power! Another LSx engine coming soon.

we agree to disagree on this one for sure. there are bone stock ls2 gto's that broke into the 12's.Originally posted by ConElite
stay away from the 04 gto's, they had the most problems, including strut rub on the tires.

Well, I'll tell you my 05 GTO is a lot faster than my Formula was. I've driven ls1 f-bodys and they are faster than then lt1's, but not as fast as the 05 or 06 GTO. You can get a smokin deal on a GTO right now. I actually may be selling mine to get a Corvette, because the deals on those are unbelievable...2005 GTO (mine) K&N CAI and Magnaflow exhaust, drilled and slotted rotors, and other minor mods.
