It's a very nice car. Interior appointments, comfort, a rear seat, and tire shredding performance. The car is pretty reliable as well. Surprisingly, it handled very well also. The Z does handle better, but the GTO is no slouch in that department.
Here is where your challenge will be. The GTO was last produced in 2006, so it'll be hard to find one with low miles and in good shape. I would under no circumstances purchase a used GTO that has been modified. People do pound the hell out of them. If you can't find a very nice low mileage example of the GTO, keep the Z.

Don't want to bash a GM muscle car, but the late model GTO's were not only the end of a GM model badge, but on top of that were an Ausie production model used to reduce development costs for an American product. I have serious reservations about the future collectibility of these imports. Hey, how about a '69 Firebird with built up 400ci and 4-spd?? Oh yah! (YMMV)
