Replying to: schufflerbot (May 23, 2007 1:16 pm) Schufferbot, I didn't realize that you were that far away. It seemed like you were here in N.Y. There was some brief excitement for me anyway. Blackie 1

We own a 2006 GTO. I have to say that we almost bought a Mustang GT but after researching & driving both the GTO was far better bang for the buck! Our friends only drive Fords. Years ago we had a Buick GN & our friend had to race his Mustang. Well you can imagine the results. Now our friend has a Mustang & wants to race. We dont want to make him look silly again I will say we really are excited & after 1 year just love our GTO. It is a sleeper. Does not look scary at all. We also love the fact that you see Mustangs EVERYWHERE you go. I rarely see a GTO. And Blackie1 drive your Stang here to MI & we will take you on!!!

#2012 of 2056 GTO v. Mustang GT by vertical3 Jul 11, 2007 (5:59 am)
Hmmm,   If you look at my earlier posts, you'll see it was just the opposite when I began my search. But no side airbag was a deal breaker (if you've ever been in a "T-Bone" you know what I mean) as well as a partial gauge cluster for otherwise an outstanding interior. Also no fold down back seat and a trunk that only by it's depth would it hold a piece of parachute luggage made it less attractive than a GT.   RE: Less GTO's v. Mustangs...when you only make a car (imported for 2 years) and restrict build numbers what else would you expect? How many Vipers do you see?   As for the sleeper angle, be careful what you wish for, some of us in our GT's enjoyed the amazed look on GTO driver's faces in our rear view mirrors as our 450-500 HP Pony's leave you behind. Some of us have "sleeper" motors waiting to wake up.......Don't play the "has to have a Supercharger angle", but for the bigger motor we're pretty close in weight. Drop a TB controlled stock 4.6 in yours with 300hp and the field is much more equal.   Let's see what GM, the Pontiac Division and 2009 brings.

The Love the Mustang everywhere you go remark was sarcastic. Cant believe you didnt catch that.Also how could it be cheaper to buy a GTO? They cost more then the Mustang? Replies to this message: tayl0rd (Jul 11, 2007 10:13 am)

So what did you do to your 300 hp Mustang to get that much more hp? Run them stock & see what happens. Also Vertical the Goat was made for 3 years not 2. When we purchased ours last year there was plenty in stock locally.

Replying to: im4brett (Jul 11, 2007 10:00 am) My remark was sarcastic, too. Thought you would've picked up on that as well. However, I was serious about the GTO being cheaper to buy than the Mustang. That's the LSx fanboy catch-all phrase. "With negotiating and rebates (and etc.), I can buy a more powerful, less common, better built (blah blah blah) car for LESS than the price of a Mustang GT."

Replying to: schufflerbot (May 16, 2007 8:30 am) "Sleeper" is just a euphemism for unattractive. The Mustang is a work of art. The GTO is just plain. I'd rather have a nice looking car that's kinda fast than an unattractive car that is super fast. And the GTO, if it IS faster than the GT (stock vs. stock), and I'm not sure that it is, is only quicker by a very small margin. For all the horsepower (400) it has and gas it sucks (11 mpg in the city, per Consumer Reports), the GTO should be much quicker than the GT.
