Well.. I think it is almost human nature to love on what you have, and hate on others. I mean look how quick people were to piss on the GTO in this thread.
On thing people forget is the Camaro is a Zeta Coupe, so it actually an evolution of the GTO and shares DNA. It is better because it is a newer version, just like a PS2 is better than a PS3. If they had continued making the the GTO, it would have been very similar to Camaro.
I personally own both..and they each have their advantages. For instance, the Camaro is a rock star..and when you drive one..everyone else on the road notices and starts acting like idiots the second they see you. On the flip side, you can drive a GTO unnoticed, and then outta nowhere hand someone their ass. It is probaly the sleeper of the decade. In terms of performance and braking, the Camaro wins...which it should. In terms of livability, however I like the GTO. It has a nicer interior (better materials), more comfortable interior, and a much larger back seat. The Camaro is more like driving a butt on the floor Corvette and has several ergonomic/packaging compromises to fit the styling. While the Camaro has a larger trunk, it's usability is hindered by the opening. While the Camaro dies have a nicer radio and bluetooth, the GTO has a stereo that is much easier to replace so you can add these features.
Either way..I think because of the styling alone, the GTO and Camaro would definatly appeal to different groups.
