Absolutely NOT. If GM does not have anything competitive to the GT500 when it is available, I will be pruchasing Ford.

I love the GTO, but it's just not the car for me. Assuming GM lengethend the 4th gens life and the 4th gen was still available today with say an Ls2 in place of the Ls1, i'd sooner spend my 32k on a Camaro SS than a GTO.
The closest best thing to a new camaro is a new mustang and i've already got that SVT/Shelby Cobra on my wishlist come summer of 2007. Even then, i doubt a 5th gen will persuade me to trade in the Cobra. My first car was a mustang GT, and from the looks of it...my next car will be a Shelby Mustang. I'll probably buy another camaro in the next 5 years but it is going to be a first gen z28 or SS.

I think the GTO's revised styling will continue to improve past the 05' year (hopefully) but sadly for a muscle car fan it is a very nice car, performs great in every way... but...
GT500 vs GTO? Good question. Asthetics alone make me look at the GT500 and drool. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and wow... thats a good looking car.

If I can get a GTO that looks like the Woodward GTO with at least the LS2 for under $30K then I'm sold.
Shelby GT500 is a nice car, but $40K is too much money for me. For that Cash I'd rather just have a $45K C6 Z51. I don't plan on spending more than $25K-30K on my next car.
People should really be comparing the GT500 vs. the S/C LS1 Lingenfelter GTO ($8,495 extra)

Even the Mustang GT just doesnt do it for me, but somehow the GT500 does. The bumper change, the splitter, the stripes. It just does the finishing touches very well. Gotta give ford credit there.
But if I saw the next Camaro, saw production shots, then I would wait depending on if I really liked it. But sadly we still dont have anything on it yet, and I'm still keeping the faith. The 4th gen Camaro sold me in a hearbeat with a crappy 20 year old chassis and suspension and decent build quality. Give me a new technology chassis, more flexibility (perhaps a little more room under the hood) and a top of the line engine all with better build?
And the Camaro would sell to me again.
I just hate playing the waiting game like we all do...

GTO would defintely be the vehicle I would get. If the 5th Gen Camaro does not even see the light of day and the GTO survives to stick around, then I will buy my first non chevrolet car. I made up my mind a while back that the GTO would be the car to make me feel better

I'd probably hang on to my '95 Z28 until 2010.
Heck its paid off; has low miles (52K); and it still looks good and performs adequately well for a 10 year old car.
Of course by 2010 it'll be 15 years old, but then my 67's are nearly 40 years old and they're holding up quite nicely.

Absolutely not, the GTO is bland.
