165 sounds incredible! Did he change anything else, like suspension? It seems like it would be necessary for handling at those speeds.

Yeah, suspension upgrades are key! My GTO has coilovers, and they make a noticeable difference in stability at high speeds. Plus, I’ve had a lot of fun with it on twisty roads!

The top speed of the 2006 Pontiac GTO is around 160 mph. It’s impressive, but how does it stack up against the Mustang GT and Camaro SS from that era?

That’s a solid speed! The Mustang GT can also hit about 150 mph, but it has a really fun handling experience in corners. What’s everyone’s take on that?
I’ve noticed the GTO excels in straight lines, but what about track performance? I’d love to hear more on that.
The GTO definitely pulls ahead in acceleration thanks to its powerful LS2 engine. That said, the handling of the Camaro SS is quite impressive as well, especially on twisty roads!
Exactly! Each car has its own strengths depending on the driving style. For daily driving, I find the Camaro more user-friendly.
I agree, but for pure fun, nothing beats the ferocity of the GTO when you slam the accelerator. You feel like you’re in a muscle car classic!
Has anyone tried all three on a track? I can’t decide which one would offer the best overall experience. Would love to hear opinions!
I’ve driven the GTO and Camaro on a track day, both are thrilling but the GTO’s power delivery is addictive! So much torque.
For real, though, I’ve seen my friend’s Camaro skid out while cornering. I nearly laughed out loud! Still, that wild factor makes it entertaining!

Haha, that’s a classic moment! But on a serious note, it does show the different dynamics when you’re pushing the limits. Any thoughts on reliability between these models?
