2005 GTO or 2016 Z

LOL. I've had my share of losses too. I also have a 1984 El Camino SS with a TPI from a 91 Corvette. I have waaaaaay more money tied up in that car than it'll ever be worth. The 1980's sucked for American performance...

So did the 90's. And the mid through late 70's. And early 2000's. And the 50's and 60's if you cared about things like turning and stopping.

Haha. True. Most of my cars besides the Z, don't turn or stop. AT ALL!!!

CEDZz34 so you think the GTO will be a classic soon?

I found a deep blue pearl 2016 sport with 2500 miles for $29000. Good price?

Sorry it took me so long to reply...
I think the GTO will be a classic, but it'll take longer than 10 years. This is part of the reason I decided to go ahead and trade mine it. Possibly 20-30 years from now it will be of very significant value since Pontiac is out of business and the GTO is the last 2 door V8 car that they made, and there was never a V6 version of the car. That and the fact that it was so underappreciated when it was being made kept production numbers down. This will hurt the current Camaro as a collector car. There are so many of those cars made and sold, and the fact that there is such a large aftermarket offering for it, it will be hard to find an unmodified Camaro in the future. The hard part for restorers will be finding parts that far into the future.

Your thoughts?

NTMG

I think you are correct.

Dahawkster

I would say keep the GTO

We live in very different times. I don't think there are many modern cars that will become classics including the GTO. Just buy what you like and enjoy it. Don't keep a car just because there may be a very minute possibility that it may go up in value one day. You will usually find yourself on the losing end.

I agree with this, at least relative to the Holden Monaro-based GTO. I just don't think the intrinsic value is there, being an Australian mfr. It certainly does outperform any original '60's and '70's GTO, but collectors may view it as not a "real" GTO. On a related note, I'm still waiting for my 1960 Edsel Ranger and my 1988 Pontiac Fiero GT to bring all the money at Barrett-Jackson though. Does anyone know Wayne Carini's cell number?......j/k

Found a used 2014 base auto silver with 7500 on her for 22900 good price?

If it doesn't have the sport package, it's not worth buying.

save your money and keep the gto! i had a 2014 nismo and it felt slow!!!

UNKNOWN_370

You must not know how to drive then cuz the Z when you shift over 6,000 rpm in feel. Feels stupid fast. Especially when you drive with the windows open. You need an exhaust mod though to add to the drama.

Anyone who says the Z feels slow hasn't driven one properly. And judging by yout car. Which I adore EVO's. The turbos provide a fast feel for you with low effort so it is logical you would say that. But it's slower than a Z unmodded. A GTO is a drivers race on a Z. The EVO loses steam at 90 when the Z is Still in its first wind. Then the Z catches a second win at 135mph. It kinda has a smoother easier feel from 115 to 134. You gotta play with gears in there to make it feel like something. Maybe over 120 the GTO will dominate a Z. But 0-120. The Z can fairly easily keep up at minimum, if not beat the GTO by a car length.
