It was putting at least 400 to the wheels but I never dynoed it. The GTO has surprisingly good interior, far better than the Z, had insane power. The tranny was a lot smoother than the Z but I still really missed the Z. The sporty look, the body lines, the handling. The GTO handled like ****. So much body roll. The Z was just so nimble, it felt compact where the GTO felt huge and clunky. The Z felt like a true sports car where the GTO was just great for street light racing (which I never did!). Was one of the not so bright decisions I've made so far. I learned that chasing horsepower doesn't always work out. Its about the entire car overall. Not just that one number.
