I was curious if anyone knows anything about how the new GTO is handling on a track or autocross?

Does it need big brakes and worse yet does it push as bad as a FBody?

Wondering how it sizes up to an Fbody, esp since it will come out with an LS2 later on.

There's been a guy autocrossing a GTO here locally in FS. I can't speak about braking or push characteristics, but thing has loads of body roll. It could use better springs or sway bars for hard cornering. The GTO has been finishing too bad considering it's been on street tires and it's the drivers first year.
