      I'd say a new body style mustang as well. Here's my reasoning...of course just my own personal opinion. The new mustangs are way more fun than the old ones. More HP and better dynamics. The older Cobras might have a lot of HP, but my 98 and 02 GT's pushed like crazy through the corners. Never drove a Cobra, but the extra weight of the supercharger, intercooler and such up front isn't going to help that out any. Driven quite a few miles in a GTO....they feel like a really big heavy car. They are okay, but there's way too much weight there. Personally not a big fan of the looks either.

      I would definitely go with the 05-08 Mustang GT also.

      I think the GTO's look like butt,....the camaros (had one) are great drivetrains but lacking in looks to me,.......the Cobras were fast, nice interior 'feel' but I find their looks lacking also,....AND they've had too many issues with their rear-end and tranny.

      So for me, the newer version mustangs have good platform, great looks, and it can be easily updated/upgraded visually if you wanted that.

      For all out performance I'd say the Camaro. Handle great and make good horsepower cheap... but they suck as a daily driver. No room inside, no trunk space, hard to see out of, etc.

      GTO... looks like a damn Cavalier.

      Mustang, definately go with the new body style.

      Mustang has the looks hands down, but they feel and drive like an old pickup truck.

      Camaros are too squeaky and creaky because of the hatchback, if you have T tops it is worse.

      If you have ever spent some time in a GTO, it is the best of those mentioned and helps me get past the generic looks. They have a solid, european feel, combined with the LS power makes it a winner in my book.

      Chevy guy here as well. I LOVE Camaros, I own a '99 HO SS!! The power is there, but I agree with these other guys with it being a daily driver. Not really comfy.
      The newer Mustangs look bad-ass and you make them look even better with aftermarket kits. It all depends on what you are looking for I guess.
      GOOD LUCK!!!

      A buddy of mine has an 05 Mustang GT and will getting a Servini (Sp?) body and performance kit. They are going to pick it up in Mississippi and take it to San Diego and return it with serialized number, new supercharger and body kit for something like 14K.
      It's alot of stuff but I think it is a little much for that level of upgrade. My sis has an 05 GT too. They are good cars but it seems the 05's had some front end, gauge cluster, and tranny issues. Both of their cars have had similar warranty work done to both. Get an 06.

      i would have to chose the GTO also, haveing driven one, they are really nice real comfortable not to loud in side and they get up and go pretty well also, to me they seem a little more practical then the camaros ..

      well for me it would depends...if you have some money to put into it, i would go with the gto, you would already have the ls2 and then stick a twin turbo setup on it and your set...my friend has a gto, while he hasnt touched the engine, he has done some suspension work and it drives pretty nicely, but if I could I would wait till the new camaros and just get a z28

      bang for the buck, i'd go with the 4th gens. They've been getting real cheap lately and don't need too many mods to be fast. But it just depends on your tastes. I say find a 2002 WS6 or Camaro specialty model.

      Camaro: Good motor and drivetrain, easy to mod, Looks Ok
      GTO: LS2 awesome, boring looks, nice driver, HEAVY car
      03-04 Mustang: Had an 03 GT for a year, didn't do it for me, really cheap feeling interior. Haven't driven an 05-08, but I hear they are much more solid feeling and the styling is right on IMHO.

      DD: GTO

      Play toy: Camaro SS or T/A

      because the GTO looks like a neon, the mustangs i've driven (including the new style) felt weak and they're Found On the Roadside Dead, and it's REALLY easy to upgrade. but i'd rather have the new camaro.
