Hey what happened to calling last weekend? I know, you probably spent too much time at mach 1 from the looks of the video

I have driven a gto they are pigs and don't offer much. A truck is the best thing to have hands down. I have an 04 crew cab dually and it is great you will never get to fit as many people in the gto as a truck or as much stuff.

Pigs!
Since when does 0-60 in 4.9 and a 13.1 1/4 mile make a car a pig.

It might run a fair time but it still weighs alot. For spirited driving it would be better to have a ligher car say Z06.

The GTO is pretty equal to an 03 Cobra I own an 03 and have driven a goat. They both are fun cars but my next move would be a Corvette or something light.

Get the truck it is the best choice I'd say. Also remember resale value and the goat is not going to hold its value like a truck.

Do you own any other vehicles? Do you have another truck? Do you need a truck? Those are all questions that need to be addressed before decided truck or car. Fast or not, a truck can do things the Goat NEVER can. Trips to Home Depot, or hauling friends crap, trucks can be very useful.

If you have no need for your new vehicle to do these things, then I vote for the Goat. But.......If your family doesn't own a truck, then....

For the average driver I'd say a 13.2-13.5

I personally took mine to a 12.9 @113
