he probably wanted something that handled well and was relatively light (assuming since he owned an Evo).

I didn't look into the GTO's. To be honest, I cannot stand the way they look. LS2 vs LS6 - basically the same. Can go either way. I just love the way the C5Z looks. I've never driven an 05-06 GTO, but I would like to. They're pretty damn affordable, too. A guy offered a trade for my Evo but I had to say no since the GTO is only worth ~$16k.

ding ding ding that is correct! The vette handles way better than I thought....at high speeds the car is a ****ing missile. Was in the express lanes taking curves at ~110-120mph on my way out of Chicago yesterday, quite an orgasmic experience.
