I was talking with a buddy about this the other day, telling him how surprised I was that the GTO vs Camaro angle isn't a slam dunk for the Chevy. Problems for the Chevy?
1: The GTO has much better seats, a higher quality interior, and noticeably more rear seat room.
2: If you intend to mod either the GTO is lighter by a meaningful amount.
3: Acceleration really is pretty similar. Even if the Camaro picks up a couple of tenths over the next couple of months you'll still have cars which are within two or three tenths of another all the way through the 1/4 mile.
Chevy advantages:
1: More distinctive look to say the least
2: Seems to handle a bit better
3: GTO's trunk is an even bigger joke than the Camaros.
That just about covers it. Camaro seems more and more like GTO part duex with retro styling, a cheaper interior, and a broader range of engine and model options.
