European made quality, the BMW may start to get a little tarnished (their X3 has taken some serious flak for QA). Still think the GT is a great bargain for the fun and options to upgrade. |

Replying to: isa6016 (May 15, 2007 5:00 am) Hey, I'll be honest and say that I often 2nd guess myself on bypassing the Pontiac, more out of the fact I see so few of them compared to GT's, but you be honest....IF they did not come with the vette motor and gearbox but the 350 that was in the late 90's Impala SS, would you still have bought one? Would you buy a vette other than a ZO6? I've added some toys to the GT and it's just enough to get me in trouble both with the law and my health insurance provider. It's a year old Sunday and has 4600 miles on it. For me it takes me back to my teen years, for my 12 y/o it's just the quality time with Dad he wants (and needs). Enjoy your GTO, I enjoy my GT.

to compare the GTO to the mustang GT is absolutely unfair to the GT. the GTO is a far superior machine, for far fewer dollars and the general public does not know that. which is just the way i like it. i cannot count the number of 'stangs that have tried and failed to keep up with me on the road/track, regardless of surface conditions or road layout. I have quite the history with mustangs, owned a couple, helped friends modify a couple, assisted in purchases for family, etc. when i heard the GTO i was sold. when i saw it... i bought one. any car can be made to go fast, stock for stock and dollar for dollar - you wont find a better deal than a GTO. i have the utmost respect for mustangs and always will. i never write one off until shes a dot in my rearview mirror, but for people to say that an 05 stang GT is a better car than a 2005 6.0 GTO... is just plain silly.

Replying to: vertical3 (May 15, 2007 6:10 am) http://www.ls1gto.com/forums/showthread.php?t=156705&page=2 It is hard for me to say how much the ls2 affected my decision, I just stopped by Pontiac dealer to kill time, not even thinking of GTOs, salesman saw me just admiring it, not even next to it, had not said a single word about it, offered me a test drive, from then on I could not rest until I had one. Best car decision I ever made by far. Vettes do not interest me, not even the Z06. They are amazing, but I prefer the GTO, understated but striking appearance, comfort, stance. I really like your close: You enjoy your GT, I'll enjoy my GTO. That is what the car thing is all about. Still think you made a mistake, though.  schufflerbot, you rock.
