I'm the original owner of both a 2002 Camaro Z28 and a 2006 GTO. When I bought my GTO, the Camaro just sat and it's still sitting. You want to know why? Here are a few reasons:
3. The GTO has the 6-speed manual while the Z28 has the automatic transmission. The M6 is a lot more fun to drive and better on gas in the highway. Also, any car with a manual compared to the same car with an auto will ALWAYS sound better.
2. There is no V6 version of the GTO. Unlike with the 4th gen f-body, their V6 versions are a dime a dozen and really, really make them look bad. I will never again buy a V8 sports car or muscle car that has a downgraded, smaller-engine version that a poser can simply buy just for looks.
1. The GTO has a much better interior. There's a night and day difference in this category. You have much better visibility in the GTO as you don't have the long dashboard and raked windshield of the f-body. Also, you can't even compare the looks and quality of the entire interior of the GTO with the f-body's. Hell, the f-body still has the cheap, early 90's plastic GM interior while the GTO interior is A LOT more modern.
0. Even though the GTO is the heavier car, it actually feels lighter than the f-body.
I don't mean to offend anyone, but if you're going for a GTO, get at least a 2005. It's so much better when you have hood scoops, a dual-dual exhaust rear bumper, and a more powerful engine. Of course, you can buy a 2004 GTO and get all of that stuff put on, but do you really want the hassle?
