Whoa whoa whoa what? Are we talking about the same car? I'm talking about the 2-ton brick with bycicle tires that cannot be fast...please shed some light on your oh so delicate retort.

Honestly think you're right. Some might feel this is an exaggeration, but this one fool is borderline ruining the Z06 section IMO.
Mods... think about this; he is driving (pun intended) away your audience.

The GTO is a "2-ton brick bicycle tires" and you were lauding it one of the best GT cars out there. Actually, the CTS-V is far less limited for options for larger wheels/tires than the GTO without body/chassis modifications, so the GTO obviously "cannot be fast".

The GTO (especially 2004) isn't even in the same zip code of performance of a Gen 2 CTS-V.

For a cool GT car, try a R33 Skyline.

I got my *** handed to me several weeks ago by a CTS-V. I knew the previous owner and he did a handful of things to it and 4.33s... That thing reeled me in so bad that it made it look like he was racing a Civic. That's how bad he ripped my Z06. Easily a mid 11 second car.

When I attended the V8 Supercars event at Cota in 2013, the two CTS-Vs were at the front of the pack the whole time for the GTS class. Johnny O’Connell ended up taking first in the CTS-V. If you think a CTS-V is 2 tons of bricks, I'm sorry, but your argument is invalid. Even if for GTS they completely strip the car inside and out, the CTS-V is still a solid platform for a GT/GTS car.

Here is a good story: You are posting your "random pictures of track cars" photos in the wrong section. We have an "Other Cars" section for a reason.

Stock vs stock, we're talking another story. BOTH are heavy with their skinnies...

MODIFIED, both are faster, no doubt about it. Expense? LOL, I could modify the GTO to ~3550 comfortably, I don't think you can come close...with the Cadillac.
