All cars have issues... my previous SRT6 had issues.

No issue here with that.

The differentials in the GTO is vastly superior to the CTSV diff and also on par with the diff in the corvette.
The GTO is a good quality car with vehicle specific quirks, and once those quirks are taken care of...one of the best vehicles you can buy period, and definitely the best bang for the buck vehicle currently available...where else for $25,000 bucks can you get a vehicle with 400 hp, a 6 spd, an interior to die for, and decent handling
I agree with most of what you've said minus the "decent handling" its a boat... its fun to drive, but a boat none the less.

A buddy of mine got a has a 2006 6.0 6 speed GTO, he was lightly modded with a predator tune, and SLP catback... he dyno'ed 336 whp. I still had the SRT6 at that time, we both ran 13.1's @ 106 mph at track the same day, actually in the same lane. On the highway, from <60 mph on the highway, I would ever so slowly pull away, from >60 mph the GTO would instantly pull away a car length, and then it would hold from there until the end of the run.
