I saw the GTO hands down. Yes the Stang may look better but in performance wise the GTO wins it and thats what a V8 Muscle car is all about to me. Besdies next year these dam mustangs will be all over the place I already see them all the time.

Well we weren't talking Saleen here. I for one thought Saleen seriously dropped the ball this time. Too busy with the S7 i supose. But stock wise, yes performance wise GTO. But you guys know me - I love the look and more importantly the potental of the new stangs. I could make one look really killer with some time and money. The GTO, well same there but not so much. That appearance package - lose that ricer rear bumper cover and you got a good looking goat.

yeah i know we weren't talking about the saleen. but that fact just depressed me about the whole new mustang thing. my respect has fallen a little. so that's why i brought it up. i was told to post why, that's one of the reasons...don't get me wrong tho, i love the way the new saleens look.
but i'm all about performance over looks...i mean...
i own a third gen for cryin out sakes

IMHO they are both look like doo doo.

As far as performance, it all depends on if the GT's are still being made SOHC.

I don't like the GTOs... I mean you want to talk about similar with the 98+ F-body to a Concorde, the GTO has like 4 twins up front, it's only until you see it from the side or the back that you can even tell what it is.. atleast in my opinion. The Mustang has grown on me the more I see them, living in Detroit area that's like twice a day, I still can't stand the front bumper's profile view, but overall it looks really good. Yeah the GTO has mega performance, but how many times can you actually put it to use? Aside from on the track, there's no legal use for all that performance. Looks? Looks can be appreciated no matter where you are.

..This coming from a v6'er, though.

If the question was "which do you think is faster?" hands down the GTO would win it. But my honest opinion is that there are better things to spend your money on than either of those two.

Definitely agreed, I wouldn't spend the money on either of them -- I'd rather save for the 2007/2008 Camaro.
