Selling the S10. Buying a Z or a Goat. I need opinions.

Just kidding of course, but yes, I would definitely get the 6L if I decided to buy the GTO.

Or get the new G8, those look sick.

Thanks for your 2 cents.
These are all very helpful comments.

You'll enjoy either one, but the Z you'll enjoy longer.

I am not looking for bias responses, but I realize these are enviable. I have narrowed my choices down to these two ('03+ Z or '05+ GTO), but I have struggled over which I should get for about a year now.
I love the color of the Z called, "Lemans Sunset" and I am looking to spend about $20,000-$22,000, so this narrows me to either a 2003 or 2004 350Z.
I will not get the 5.7L GTO, so this narrows me to the 2005 or 2006 GTO.
I realize the "up's" and "down's" of both choices, but I am looking for honest and helpful replies only.
Here is what I have figured for each vehicle thus far:
350Z Pros:
More aggressive styling
Excellent handling
Lemans Sunset
"More attractive"
??
350Z Cons:
Not as rare as the goat
??
GTO Pros:
Stop light rumbling 6.0L
Rare
Somewhat faster 1/4 mile
Torque
Back seat
Sleeper
??
GTO Cons:
Does not handle as well as the Z
93 Octane (Not essential, but I would definitely run premium)
??
I don't want to spend too much time on this poll, so I am looking for you to fill in some of these pros and cons for me.
I have test driven a '04 LS1 GTO 6-Speed and loved it and I have also driven a '03 VQ35DE 350Z 6-speed. The only advice I can give myself is to test drive both the Z and the LS2 GTO in the same day and compare, but other than this, I am completely and utterly torn.
Let me know what you would do and why please.
I am 19 years of age if that is a factor to you. Thanks in advance guys. I am looking forward to hearing what you have to say.
