Both are based on the same engine platform, can be has for 12-15k if you keep an eye out for them as well. > > I have several friends that have Corvette’s and LS based cars, and they seem to be very capable. The GTO would be more practical and I could see myself using it as a daily driver, but the Corvette would be more for the weekend, cruising around. > > I’m torn between the two. I’m not a fan of the way the GTO looks, but love the hardtop C5’s. Dollar for dollar you can see more power for your dollar, and the biggest thing is rear wheel drive for me. With some simple bolt on’s you can be deep into the 11 second bracket, and still have a reliable daily driver. > > Thoughts? My thoughts?
