That turbo GTO that he mentioned was likely an STS kit. They are cheap and simple rear mounted kits that don't make big-turbo power (but also don't require a FMIC, huge injectors, or major tuning). LPE made a 900rwhp turbo kit for the LS2 GTO. Really all that does is make you a slave to TireRack.com.

The only problem the GTO really has in handling is it's weight. At about 3850lb's, it's too freakin heavy. Other than that, it handles quite well from my experience.
