Exclamation Mustang vs. GTO comparo

Yes they are both V-8 RWD cars, one made in the U.S., the other in Australia, but the sheer fact that the Stang comes out on top despite a 100 hp, and $10K handicap, you gotta give a salute to the engineers at Ford.

GTO is boring... The only thing the Mustang needs are some decent 19" wheels and a minor suspension adjustment..

I have the actual article and I have to say that this was a close comparo. Just 1 point separated them at the end (Stang 211/235, GTO 210/235). That includes a 10 point value category, which the Stang took 10 to 8. Both are nice cars, but I vote GTO simply because the new Mustang just doesnt do much for me.

Wow...pretty good stats on the 05 Goat. Im surprised. 107 mph in the 1/4 mile...4 mph faster than the GT.

The new LS2 6 liter and the subtle details on the outside...ill have to say Goat.....in the 6 speed.

Its bolt ons away from 12s.

Al, if GM keeps up increasing power at this rate, the 2008 GTO will put down more ponies than your SS.

I'd take the GTO for the nicer interior and IMO superior motor. I agree that the stang has more 'cool' factor and looks nicer, but it doesn't weigh as heavily with me. I wish the GTO had a more agressive front facia.

I'd pick the Mustang, the GTO looks like a Cavalier to me.

Guess you're talking about the rear of the GTO Vito since that's all you would ever see if you were in the mustang.

Yep, because everything's about going fast in straight lines, i must have forgotten.

for the 10k difference (or close) you'll probably be able to pick up a new Cobra when they come out.
Then we'll just sit back and wait for the excuses..
