The bottom line is that Americans dont buy Camaros for the quality of their interior. There other choices out there for that.
Now look at this baby!!

A Firehawk WS6 is another beast on it's own.

You can but the Canadian government will make you pay for modifications to the car to make it street legal. Plus you have to check whether or not it is on their approved list of cars that can be imported. Too much paperwork and hassle.
To clarify, the Canadian government will require you to modify it to Canadian spec (which is most often adding Daytime Running Lights), if and only if it meets one or both of the 2 following conditions:
1) It is on the "approved list" for importing from the States, which can be found here:

2) It is 15 years old or older, to the month of manufacture.
Since the GTO is not 15 years old (obviously), we need to check the Admissable List.
Since the Admissable List does not state the GTO cannot be imported, you can import one provided you install DRL's. There's a good thread on the subject, if anyone's interested:

... what didn't pass the crash test? The GTO must have, if it's on the admissable list.
