    After having friends with Evos.... I would not get one. They constantly have problems with clutch issues.

    I would vote for an 02 TA, or the 06 GTO. The G8 GT is nice and all, but the GXP is the way to go for a G8.

    The GTO is the best car that I have ever bought, and have friends that plan on buying one here soon becuase they drove mine. Dont get me wrong, I am not saying the gTO is the best car in the world....it has its qwerks from factory. but they are SUPER easy fixes.

    good to hear that about evo's, honestly I think they're wayyy over priced for what your getting, the interior is that of a mitsu mirage. just sucks.

    02 TA would be an easy route considering i'll have alot of extra money for mods!

    I just keep getting on youtube and the sound of that ls2 cammed is unbelieable. If i get a GTO, the GP will have to go

    The interior in an Evo is badass.

    LS1 goats with torque management and the extra weight over f-bodies are pretty slow. Go with a later year or an F-body over the LS1 GTO.

    Went thru the whole process of elimination... GTO's I thought would be good enough... but went with a late model F-Body with a LS6... much better

    I say you have a tough decision. Except for the Evo. Rice. I'm always and 4-ever a Pontiac fan. Love the TA and the Goat . And for a family the G8. If you dont have kids, I'd wait for the G8.

    I bought a '00 T/A WS6 4 days after I got back home lmao...

    I have to disagree with realdiehl, evo interior is bull-****...I'd totally use a evo dash to catch my drained oil during a change.
