BS it cant do 13's I have seen anywhere from 13.5 to 12.9 with DR's. The new 07 puts up a good fight now. The 04 GTO are boats.

Get what ever you like it's your money but may i point out your on a Z forum

Ask this queston on a S2K forum and the honda will win

Ask this question on a GTO forum and the GTO will win.


See what i am gettin at


I hate these questions with a passion, and I am not trying to be rude. But come on man, in the end if you need someone else making the choice for you then just get a mini van with a dvd player and ride in the back for the rest of your life.

Cheers

Kevin

GTO is a muscle car, Z and s2k are sports cars. Want a balanced car go for the Z. My bro has a 04 GTO and its brakes are poor also the handling,when comparing to my Z. The styling is too plain for a performance car.

If you are looking at value - consider what you can buy a GTO for, it has a 100k mile warranty, and runs (at the local track) 13.3's all night long with an average driver.

07 Z's run 13.6's all night long, not to say they can't do better, but I'm running in heat, and the other guys on the forum are right with me EXCEPT for 1....

The GTO WASTES a Z top end, but I still take them at the track on them making bad runs or having ****ty R/T's...

S2K I can't justify because of how small it is, but I just made the same decision. Went with the Z solely because it looks better and is still in production so resale won't make me broke.

Why are you asking this on a 350z site? Go somewhere neutral, like supraforums.

FYI I don't even own a 350z yet, but I plan too. I have owned a ls1 powered TransAM. I will definitely go with the 350z. The GTO imho isn't worth it. They DISCONTINUED the car for a damn reason. It is no longer made. The car has nick name called the GOAT for a reason. It's a overweight slug. And it is definitely not as fast as some here make you believe. It may have the hp numbers but the weight just kills it.

The GTO can't go 180 mph either. Get your facts straight buddy. This is from a old LS1 owner.
You have absolutely no clue as to what you are talking about. The LS2 GTO does indeed have a capable stock top speed of close to 180mph. Is faster than the 350Z in the 0-60 and can do the 1/4 in 13 flat on stock tires (which are too small btw).

You do realize the 05/06 models came with the LS2, eh?

I never knew the goat was such a heavy animal?

Oh? Then how come on the forums for the GTO they are laughing? 180mpg the camn vette can barely do! BARELY!

So, why don't you come out with proof that shows it doing 180 mph, or stock 13.0 flat. Have you ever owned a LS1 powered car? Or been into the LS POWERED CAR SCENES? Didn't think so.

www.dragtimes.com is your friend.

I said almost. It is estimated to be ~175mph top, which is pretty darn close. I have never owned an LS1, but then again, the 05/06 GTO isn't powered by an LS1.

I do own a Z06 though and know a thing or two about the series of motors.

Quit now before you make a total retard out of yourself.

LOL! Post a site to a actual test sir. Not a site that anyone can post whatever numbers they dream up.

Right estimated!!! IT can't do it.

Ahhh calling names now huh? Maybe you need to grow up some.

Weight has little effect on top speed. Also the GTO is governed from the factory. Remove it and it will do close to 180.

Did you notice the tach at governed speed?

Umm, anyone can post whatever numbers they want here as well. They back up those claims with slips. Dragtimes has slips scanned as well for alot of the runs.

LOL! Tell you what kid, visit gtoforum.com you might actually learn something.

Weight still effects topspeed. Not as much as the 0-60 but it still effects it.

3750~ lb is not light. And lets get into some details.

C5 vette, has a better top end due to weight (3200lb) and design can only do 177 mph. It beats the GTO in the top end. You REALLY think the GTO has that top end? NO. Oh btw, that was mentioned on the GTO forum. They seem to know more than you.

Like I said, back your statements up with facts. I see all the facts on that site.
