I didn't care for the look of the GTO and haven't driven one but have raced LS1 cars and can say they are quick stock.I think GM killed another car through poor marketing and by not listening and responding to customers.I would buy one over a Z06 because of the backseat,I've been through a 2 seater and they just don't work for a Father of 3.The GTO is a car you go to work and say "I seen a GTO last night" you don't do that with Mustangs,Camaros,Firbirds or 95% of other performance cars that are out there now.
