lets see...the 3.1 and 3.4 v6's with bad gaskets or ones with piston slap, the quad4 with it's awesome power to blow headgaskets. The Chevrolet 305 that was made in the 80's that had nylon coated timing chaing gears and somethings soft camshafts. The 80's Olds 307, easiest engine I ever blew up. The mid 80's Cadillac 4.1L V8 that was the most ass backwards engineered thing to come out of Detroit. It's a big list...but remember NO manufacturer is perfect.

What have you heard about the GTO failing and falling apart?
Is it the engine? Oh wait not that ain't it it's got an LS1 the thing is tough as nails and makes tons of power. It's a performance engine with going on 6 years of useage in Corvettes and Camaros. These things don't just quit on you. In fact would you take a slapped together generic V6 from some schlub of a company that doesn't have near the construction tolerances of a performance engine from GM?
Is it the transmission? I know that ain't it either. It's got a T-56 tranny. Again one the best things you can have or else they wouldn't stick them in Vettes and Vipers.
So what would make you guys say the GTO is "unreliable"?

You sir just hit the nail on the head for what i was gonna say next. To sum it up proven components put together in a nice package.
