I used to have an SRT-4 and feel that the SRT team makes an excellent product.
Would you mind giving me your thoughts between the two? I'm 6'0 / 180lb and I'm kinda worried the car will be too small for me. I commute to work about 20 miles each way.
Let me know if any of you have any experience with the two vehicles.
My buddy is 6' 5'' and he bought a SRT-6 and loves it................he's used to the fact that cars aren't made for people that tall though. The 6 is lighter and will perform better than any stock GTO and you will appreciate it. I don't know about the better than 18mpg deal though(unless you're talking highway). I daily drive my 6 and even though I've never actually calculated the mileage I know it's not above 18.........but thats all city driving and lots of full throttle passing.
