I'll put my stock GTO up against a stock/mildly modded MS6 anytime.
I'm sure you would, and I'm sure you would win too. Never claimed it was faster.
And you can't really look at the power difference between an MS6 and an LS2 GTO to compare possible ETs. '04 GTOs pull almost exactly the same times as '05/'06 GTOs, despite having 50 less horsepower and torque. LS2 GTOs are considerably hampered by a lack of traction, as I'm sure you know.
Traction is an issue. I really looked long and hard at the MS6 and other AWD cars, but all were out of my price range. That's why my first round of big mods (other than wheels) will be suspension-related. Both the MS6 and GT are nice vehicles. IMO, it's whatever suits your tastes.
yea, plus your looking at a car you can drive year round, Its all preference (IMO the Goats are nice, and if there wasent a Terminator, it would be my next car)
