While I have no love for either the GTO or the Vette, I wouldn't hand out any awards to the GTO.
You'd have to be comparing apples to apples, right? Somehow, I believe the GTO versus a similarly outfitted corvette (with as close to a 6.0 as they made) would be a pretty tight race.
I think the GTO makes out on the fact that it's at least 30% cheaper than the Corvette.
Both body styles are tired, with the GTO looking like something that belongs in a mall parking lot.
Neither car, in my opinion, is really anything to look at.
I was really disappointed that GM didn't do more to help the GTO stand out. It's got an unbelievable pedigree. That tired design they trotted out was really the worst thing they could have done to that nameplate.

Jaguar uses the M112 unit. Which is also used by the likes of such things as CORVETTE, Lightning, Cobra Mustang and such.
Not quite as much hot air as it is just more air. So I guess even the infamous LS engine needs to be breathed on too. Imagine that!

An M112 was never factory equipment in a Corvette. The MP112 was offered in aftermarket kit-form from companies like Magnuson (aka Magnacharger.)
All LS engines kick butt naturally aspirated. They do not need superchargers, but there are twisted people out there (like me) that want them anyway!
