2005 GTO or 2016 Z

NTMG · 09-23-2016, 08:43 PM

I am thinking of trading my GTO for a new Z. What do y'all think?

NTMG · 09-23-2016, 08:47 PM

I bought the GTO new and just dont want to dump it for a car I won't like in 24 mo.

Very different cars. If your into the stop light warrior scene you will not be happy with the z. If you are into back road carving you'll love the z. It's outstanding in the curves, but the returns on mods are far less then the platform you'll be leaving behind as far as raw power is concerned.

Probably the best advice is to take your time. Drive a couple of Z's and think about it. Their are plenty of Z's out there so don't make a bad choice you will regret.

if you GTO is in Mint condition,it won't look out of date until today...

I had a 2006 GTO. It was a good car but I'm liking the Z a bit more.

NTMG · 09-24-2016, 07:33 AM

I think the GTO 2004-2006 will be a classic in about 10-15 years. The Z is a beutaful car I just don't want to be underwhelmed with the drop in HP from the GTO to the Z.

What is your GTO's power.?

NTMG · 09-24-2016, 09:08 AM

400hp

daveb91 · 09-24-2016, 09:13 AM

Is it a LS2 one with the ram air? Or a LS1

NTMG · 09-24-2016, 09:23 AM

LS2 from the Corvette.

daveb91 · 09-24-2016, 09:43 AM

Keep it.

Troll?

OP had done nothing but talking down the Z.

Op still loves the GTO after 11 years, but Z will bore him in 2 years. I don't see why OP needs to ask our opinion.

MadSciSnails · 09-24-2016, 11:06 AM

Dang, that things got a corvette motor in it.....

No troll just doing research on the Z before I buy one.
Yes 6.0
