A Viper could not be driven in the winter, period. I’ve owned one, fucking thing was nearly useless in the rain. ANY snow on the ground, and it would not move. ---

Singh had a RWD car that one year, despite nearly sideswiping my SS Cobalt (which was near new at the time, haha) and taking out a phone pole and fishtailing unpredictably at any given moment, i’d say he did just fine. That car was MINT too. I forget what it was though, Crown Vic or the Mercury variant, one of those two. This then sparked my interest for a RWD daily driver. :lol ---

Regardless of winter performance, it’s just a bloated Grand Am with an LS motor in it. There is no way that anyone in their right mind could set a GTO next to a C5 and tell me that the GTO looks NEARLY as good. ---

right, i agree, i think the car is shit for what they try to compare it too… but he can get the car he wants and base his own opinion on his experience… i mean if he likes GM… so be it let him like GM lol personally i’de be lookin fora C5 or a bimmer/benz for around 20 g’s used… u can find something REALLY nasty for 20g’s thats alot of money for a used car IMO BUT im the guy who buys cars for under 5k so wat can i say lol ---

The GTO is a Holden Monaro. It’s an Australian car and to compare it to a grand am is just asinine and tells me that you have no idea what you are talking about. I don’t care one bit about what people think about what I own and/or do. the ls2 gto is the only car I know that can put such a HUGE smile on my face and yet still be practical for everyday use. ---

The C5 is a great bang for buck car, but isn’t practical for everyday use. I can’t put my skis in it, I can only have one passenger, I can’t have sex in the back seat because there isn’t any, the insurance is much higher… I can go on. Plus the C5’s interior is just so cheap and stereotypically 1990’s GM. No thanks. ---

It LOOKS like a bloated Grand Am, and was a failure in the US market. It’ll suck to drive in the winter, and there are many better choices for the money. ---

:facepalm There was only 18k of them imported annually to the US, and GM sold ~15k units. Not too shabby. GM put the brakes on it because people complained that it wasn’t “retro” enough to be called the GTO. And now take a look at the Camaro. Priced exactly the same as the GTO when it was in production and they supposedly are selling like hotcakes. The GTO is a great car, but was brought out at the wrong time and wasn’t what your average American was looking for. ---

I think the Camaro looks like dogshit shaped roughly like a car, too. In fact, I think that I would take a GTO over a Camaro. ---
