Better interior, better motor, 4 seats.
Each car has their benefits. The GTO is more of a grand touring car, softer ride/ more comfortable. Even so, the stock tires are complete crap which is shown in the skidpad #'s.
Better interior...materials maybe..ergonomics no. better motor?...no. The Z motor was built for at least 200,000 miles, I'll see the GTO at 200k in a junkyard. Z=V6=300hp. GTO=V8-400hp. 50hp per/cylinder- equal in my book.
0-60 is in the 13's for both cars. Just a choice of personal taste. Let's just wish him good luck with his purchase.

Dude. GOAT? We use that chassis for most of our TAXIS here in australia. Sure it's got a big engine but it gets eaten alive on the track by civics/intergras that can turn better.
Edit: Good luck on your new purchase

I'd wait for the New Camaro. But, if you can't wait a GTO has power to spare and room for four. It's also great for keeping the tickets down in stealth mode.
Have fun and enjoy your new ride.
