really depends on how fast you wanna go? just note that no matter how much time and money you spend to go fast theres always going to be someone whos faster on the streets. id go with what i love! the monte is just so unique and different and to make it fast would be fun!

What you have to do is a little at a time where she wont know where the money goes.
You can do anything any other LS motor can from pistons, to cam, to turbo,
roller rockers, headers, electric cutout, tune, CAI, what ever so take your time and have fun.

The insurance is cheaper on the monte and the gas mileage is a lot better with the LS4 with active fuel management compared to the LS2. I'm not sure the climate you live in, but the RWD GTO is impossible to drive in the snow/ice. The monte is a better, all-around, more practical car. I got a steal of a deal on my '04 Dale Jr. car.. I could've bought two of my cars for the price of a newer 5.3 ss monte lol. You gotta weight the cost out, because at the end of the day, it's all about the American green
