His GTO has that nice thick European leather producing quality seats, better door panels. I hit my head all the time on the door post getting in though...so I don't see the difference between the two as far as roof height goes...I agree it feels more like raw power when driving it- but, question whether or not that is just more noise from the engine? Funny how different the shifter and clutch feel on the two cars - GTO is stiff and shifter requires some effort, while the 2SS has a soft clutch engagement and short shifter.
Trading it in? Hmm...I'd save your money...while the Camaro is hot now - it's also a lot more money than trade in for the same performance...it's a driver's race... I think that the 2006 GTO is miles above as far as quality goes (a bonus the "10 year old" model comes with) and from what I've heard from Camaro engineers - buy an extended warranty or be prepared... My GTO owner has been a little down on his car since I brought home my new baby - but, I think some stripes, and maybe the Holden front end to get rid of the Pontiac twin-grills, and maybe a new spoiler would make it a really fantastic car - and save your $10k for a twin turbo kit!)

Im not trying to be mean but how much does your boyfriend weigh? I havent noticed any creases in the seats after anyone has rode in it? I took one of my friends riding around other nighy and he's pushing 260-270Lbs. Only problem I have with the new GTO's is I think they copied the BMW looks. I was dissappointed when the GTO's 1st came back out. I was so excited I thought they were going to go retro like Mustange Challenger and Camaro did I was going to buy one thinking maybe the Judge was about to be reborn. After that dissapointment I bought a H2. And for the $30,000 price difference the Camaro leather is same quality if not butter than the H2. Camaro more comfortible just dont have anywere near rear room H2 and sound Quality of Bostin Accoustic is a joke! Still think GM dropped ball on that big time the Bose system is by far superior! Actually compared to there Homwe entertainment system B.A. puts out they dropped ball with camaro sound! Other than that I love this camaro. Never owned a GTO but that was just some things I had questions about your posting.
