Problem with going KA-T, takes a bit more time to do it right. Depending on where you at, finding a reliable shop to do the work can be a pain in the ass. Not all of us can rebuild an engine on our own. Then theres tuning, again depending on where you at, finding a capable shop can be hard and more than likely wont be cheap.
So far from what you've said, seems like your all about doing things right the first time. Doing it "right" aint exactly cheap. Why do you think half of cars out there look like shit? Not everybody can afford it, simply put.

I am swaying away from the GTO...I'd go with a conversion if I did one anyway to the nose. I agree it's a bit bland. I don't think it looks overly grand prix though.
The main problem I have with KA-T's is with the rev limit the LS is just a better choice...lighter and more powerful. My head is fucked up though due to one exhaust stud being messed up. If everything was perfect I'd be willing to try a JGS log and bolt on a turbo. I have to at least pull the head/lift the engine to fix this...I took it to a pro and they butchered the hole.
I can agree with the affording stuff too. There are alot of fast cars at Moroso down here. Many are just making it by with prayers, duct tape and zip ties
Def thinks he has me figured out I guess. I don't know why...I am a older professional, own a home, have a great job that I am going to make better in a few months...just like having fun cars for me. This is also a big reason I was looking at higher end cars as well.
Still in the end I am thinking I am just going to dump the money into my current car. It's almost like I am willing to take the hit if I end up not liking it.
