I was impressed by the number of you guys though. You do stick together.

I wish it was only thousands...Throw a cam and headers on your Camaro and it'll be a beast. F boost.

I ran 11.88@119mph for $400 in mods btw.

WTF happened in here over night. I leave the thread and now everyone is in a big circle jerk. This isn't very entertaining.

I'll bet that's a low estimate. You probably have spent half of that on bottle fills alone. The good thing is I'll bet there are a lot more used performance parts bargains for the GTO than the Camaro. I can't wait till used headers start popping up.

That's the plan

Did you miss the part where we all sang cumbaya and then said one thing we like about the other person? Dr. Phil is a miracle worker.

No not really... I bought a Holley nitrous kit made for 4/6 bangers from a friend that had it on a cobalt SS for less then $200... had to buy the 100rwhp jets because he didn't have any that big... Had to buy a few other odds and ends and went through 1 or 2 bottles on the street "testing" and bought a set of bald Mickey Thompson ET Street radials on 16" Camaro salad shooters off a guy on my way to ATCO for $50.







That winter I ordered a 90mm plate, new solenoids and actual brackets and redid the setup...


New setup for 2010 is in the works as well as an LS3 top end.

If I am in the market for a sports car the looks of it is one of the most important things. And no I would never buy a v6 camaro. The car has to have a combination of things for me to be interested. If it passes the looks checklist then I move on to performance, if it passes that I look at the next aspect etc etc..... I guess that is wrong? Do I need to start buying stuff I dont like? Should I start buying cars that are fast and boring looking? that is not what I am into....sorry man. I almost didnt buy my 4th gen because it was so bland (not nearly as bad as a GTO IMO). But they can look good enough after a few touches. And I wouldnt buy a mustang. The trans-ams were higher priced...etc etc...I decided on the camaro at the time.
This is my opinion. Some people may think that the GTO looks better than a camaro. I could care less. I drive what I want to drive.

LS2 goat. I currently drive a 2000 silverado 4x4 regular cab short bed with 111000 miles on it. I have previously owned a 1998 camaro z28, a 1992 camaro RS. I have also owned a 1995 ford contour.

Anything else?

Just saying that the guy calling the GTO one of the worst cars GM ever made just because it didn't have the OMG BOI RACER or OMG RETRO style is redic.

Nope, I'm done here, unless you wanna hook me up with your SS number, DOB, and banking info...

When did I ever call it the worst car ever made?

I have only said I didnt prefer the looks of it and that the camaro is faster stock for stock.

This is just getting sad now . If someone buys a car because they like the looks of it they are boy racers? and as far as retro styling goes....umm I guess it could be considered retro...but lots of others wouldnt agree. And either way I guess I wouldnt consider that a bad thing...so...um yeah

I respect the GTO for what it is. I would buy it over a mustang, challenger, or import any day. But no way in hell I would choose it over the camaro when I have a choice. Sorry buddy


Stop crying because I dont like the looks of your car.

Just got beat by a 2010 Camaro last night.

Well then who are you talking about? I never said anything about styling or non retro looks. I may have said the camaro looks better or poked fun at it by calling it a cavalier.

I am talking about public perception and criticism, not how fast it is, or where it's styling was derived from. I'm not talking about Pontiac, Holden, 60s era model cars, or G8s. I am talking about 2004-2006 GTOs.

and to answer your question I would say my hood came from the factory. And my hood doesn't look anything like a GTO hood (from my perspective)

I have a feeling that you only know the "forums" perception not the publics. My car has always gotten a major thumbs up at car shows and at the track (Including last years Super Chevy show at Norwalk). ... I've had people follow me to see what my car was as well as people drive into gas stations to see it when they didn't need gas. ... and the major reason is people don't see GTOs very often. People this year still thought it was a new model.

Your hood and front fascia ... a direct result of the GTO Woodward concept car and the RA6. All they did was move the scoops up. That black GTO ... well thats mine ... with the concept hood.

Good point GTO1 the GTO gets the same awe and wow as any other muscle car I have ever owned,I get people all the time,snaping photos,making videos of my car,the ride ,braking and performance far percedes any other cars I have drove,the leg room is better then the camaro,also Ive driven a 2009 Z06 vette,leg room and comfort in the GTO wins hands down.I know they copied alot of what the camaro has from our GTO.we all like GM who cares, pick on the ford guys or mopars ..now them some ugly cars!
