agreed. the GTO is a great base to make a car that will preform as well or better than the cars of today.

[@DKLONGHORN]

I agree, specially with how heavy sports cars are getting.

[@mikeel23]

For the time it was released it wasn’t really slow but to GM fans I think it was. It wasn’t a step up in performance but a step up in comfort/quality along with the CTS-V

[@MyAb111]

The 04-06 gto is a real true to heart muscle car. Just like the challenger is. They both derive from sedan platforms. So when you think of the gto as a (400lb lighter) direct competitor to the challenger and not to the pony car Camaro/mustang it starts to make a lot more sense, the humble styling, even the 3700 pound curd weight (which is not that heavy compared to the modern offerings).

[@Godemes]

I never understood the "GTOs are heavy" comment. Heavy when compared to what? A Corvette? If so then everything is a tank by comparison. 2006 GTO curb weight = 3,725 2006 Mustang GT = 3,600 2019 Mustang GT = 3,705 2006 CTSV = 3,850 2018 CTSV = 4,141 98-02 F bodies = 3,500 2010 Camaro = 3,750 2018 Camaro SS= 3,685 2019 Challenger RT = 4,232 2006 Corvette = 3,214

[@TreyHerrera]

Danger Noodle the cars of the same time of the gto. New stuff is heavier

[@Godemes]

@@TreyHerrera at the time the GTO did have the nicest interior and people forget, back in 2004-2006, there weren't many V8 rwd options. A 100 to 200 lbs difference to me didn't justify being classified as "heavy". Especially when that could be remedied by what you mentioned.

[@chrissizemore745]

Fair points bro! Those of us in the Honda community make similar if not the same arguments when it is said "You did that much work just to get 200hp?! Lol". Lighter cars built at a different time.

[@carguy6636]

Here's my 2 cents. EVERYBODY complained about the Fbody interior and Corvette interior. The GTO was ahead of it's time. The suspension and interior were light years ahead of most GM products, EVEN the Corvette interior that time was in my opinion inferior to the GTO. Also this platform is now 15 years old now? Kinda stupid to compare this vehicle to new cars. I would say you could compare it up to the model year 2014 cars. From that point on these newer cars have such an advantage. From engine updates to transmission updates. Now cars have 8 and 10 speed transmissions that keep the car in its powerband. This car is more of a touring muscle car, if such a category exists. Very unapreaciated and underestimated vehicle. I traded my 2001 WS6 for my 2006 GTO 6 speed cyclone grey metallic. Let me tell you what, you can't compare I wouldn't trade it for anything even a new performance vehicle. Easy to work on and now a lot of electronics b.s. to go bad. I know this particular vehicle has it's own quarks but once you drive one you would understand.
