Default Truck Or Gto??

after hanging out with you guys for a week or so and seeing what parish did, it kinda makes me wanna get another(smaller) silverado instead of a new GTO. it would definitly cost less and would be more useful since it's a truck.

what do you guys think???

If my dad decides to take over my payments when he gets rid of his Ford, I will be getting a GTO.

I would have bought a GTO if they weren't so damn ugly.

Actually, they're more 'plain-Jane' than ugly to me. I went to the dealer today and saw what I thought was a GTO from the rear, but in fact turned out to be a Cobalt.

I don't know about you guys, but I think it's pretty pathetic (and sad) when a case of mistaken identity such as this can be made.

Truck for sure the GTO has a crappy rear, no room for tires, poor underhood ventalation and it was designed for Australia so it was a original right hand drive so the left hand drive version has no room for your feet and most of all the GTO forum is no were as cool as the LS1 truck forum. Neeed any more reasons?

I looked at the GTO's last weekend. I really liked the interior and motor, but still can't quite get past the looks of em'. The new hood is a nice touch, but the rest of the car needs some styling help IMO.

As for the truck being faster, there are some guys putting down some great numbers with extended cap Z71's. Naturally a lighter truck would be helpful, but you might be a person that actually needs that extra space and versatility. Just my 2 cents worth.
