Yeah but it costs in the mid $20,000.00 range which is way to much for a rebadged Saturn! It's an economy car that's trying to be "sporty". |
No cars are good, there all junk!.... Im sorry but When the SS is parked next to the new GT like it was when I was at my dads work, i think the new GT looks gay....if i wanted a ****** 67 mustang id go buy one. thats the way i look at it. Your right the GTO isnt that great,Interior and drivetrain are neat..... Sucks the cobalts cost that much.....woopie do in time is all im saying.

Second, you have obviously never DRIVEN ONE. I have driven both the 04 GT and the 05 GT, and the 2005 is LEAPS AND BOUNDS better than the previous Mustang. It handles much better, the gearbox is tighter, the interior is nicer, the exterior is to die for. There is honestly nothing that the 2004 Mustang will beat the 2005 Mustang in... except maybe price, but they only went up $400 from last year's MSRP.

If the FBody come's back I'm not sure I would even buy one, I have lost almost all faith in GM after they destroyed one of the most reconized car's in the world. Don't get me wrong, I'm not buying a Mustang but at least Ford didn't kill it. |
Agree 110%...and When I Found My Camaro I Was Actually Looking For Mustangs.

now if ford hadn't screwed up the mustang braking it may be a decent car, but it takes farther for it to stop than an f150 auto sales are declining slightly, but gm is still the number one company in sales (performance cars only make up a small percentage of sales, the demise of the fbodies didn't effect sales by even 1% kind of proving a small point for gm)

And for the last f--king time, the old GT had 260 horsepower, the new one has 300 horsepower, look it up and quit wasting my time. |
I don't care what specs your going by, the fact is the new GT's are nothing to drop jaw about performance wise. Buddy of mine has an 03 GT with mild bolt ons and walks the retro GT's. I raced a retro black GT and yet my heavy LT1 vert with a bad coil was still able to win. I'd rather drive an old Foxbody then any of these new Stangs.
Oh for the last time people use your brain and understand the GTO is not ment to stand out from the crowd. The old school GTO were not ment to stand out but be more of a sleeper car and that is what the new GTO's are. They are sleeper cars that look plain but can be deadly if underestimated. The GTO's quality and interior are leaps and bounds ahead of the shitstangs by leap bounds. |

Anyways If I had alot of money id take a 05 GTO over the 05 Stang anyday. Im with chad Im not fan of this retro crap either its gona die out realy fast you watch. As for performance on the new stang its actually good for the car but it could have been much better. LS1 F-Bodys stock have no probs beating them even LT1s could beat em. Anyways, GTO lost to the stang in some mags yes but it performs much better then the stang. Only lost because of its poor style which isnt THAT bad. Id take one. |

I like the new GTO's and if I was looking to buy a new car those would be one of the ones I would consider. There are other performance options out there than turbo/sc 4cyl.... |
