most GTO's around here seem to be owned by middle age people who wanted a sport- luxury car as a DD, they are kept stock and you are hard pressed to find one that wants to race .....just like the vettes

Finally got to run against  an 05' GTO.. Unfortunatly, or fortunatly for me anyways, the driver of the goat  never raced with a manual so  i  literally smoked  him everytime....So  far i am not impressed with them heh..


This really cracks me up. I guess since I've seen an S197 run low 14's I automaticly assume thats the cars potential? Spare me with your idealogical formula on grading cars..Not only does it suck but you will find yourself getting laughed at or flamed on by 99.9% of ppl in this section ..

That's funny. I looked at the GTO before I bought my Mustang, and I like the design of the interior, the exterior, and overall styling of the Mustang much better than that of the GTO.

i think styling is completely personal. I have met many people who thought 05+ mustangs were so ugly. some loves the look. so you may think GTOs are ugly but some might like the way they look better. I personally like the way GTOs look. not ugly cars IMO.

about power GTOs are definetely faster. well driven GTO will put at least 4-5 cars on a well driven 05+ stang GT.

If you think the ls2 gto is a dog your ignorant enough said.  It would walk the new GT's..thats a car im not impressed with dont like anyting about it really and the interior is horrible.. GTO def has a better interior and power for sure, plus its better built and can have a new 06 gto for less than a new and some cases used GT.  So yea you've ran horrible drivers or ls1's because your car would look bad against a properly driven one

Some of you mustang guys are so funny.  First: Sleeper05, your stang is very nice, but 12.7 @109 is what i ran stock!  Most of you guys are always comparing a bolt on 05 to a stock GTO.  Lets go bolt on for bolt on.  I have owned 4 Mustangs, one being the 1994.  I can remember when everyone complained about how ugly the new mustang was.  I had people tell me how slow my car was, because it was a 94 and auto.  They were right.  That was the first year for the AODE and it was hard to find anyone who knew anything about the computer in the trans.  Now, everyone loves the 94-95 stang and there are developments around the computer, but after i built the engine with all Edelbrock components, that car would not get out the 13s. I sold it for a 1997 TA.  The car was a beast and after some work, became a low 12 sec car.  With that said, I am putting 440rwhp with just a HPE-s cam, headers, pullie and tune.  I just ran 12.40 at 115 at Atco on Friday, without drag tires.  With tires, I am confident i will run high 11s.  Sorry but i won't even run an 05-06 unless it has serious work.  When I was stock, i raced 4 new mustangs and it was over before it started.  I'm sorry, but I have always been a Mustang guy and I still love them, but Ford is always behind the eight ball.  Everything has 300 HP and the turbo guys in other named cars are modifiying and leaving the stangs behind.  And talk about the chargers and four doors, but I have seen some charges run 13.8s and that is what a stock stang runs.  I am not bashing the Mustang, because I love the friendly comp, but come on a real car guy will call it what it is.  Tkae the SRT-8 Jeep.  Now that is performance, 13.1 at 103 is what one ran friday night, bone stock.  As for looks of the GTO.  They are Suspect, that is why I put 18.0 front and 18.5 in rear AZA silver. My car is black with 20 perc tint.  I receive complimants all day long on my car and I even have older guys telling thats the way a GTO should sound.  I am at Atco everyother week and anticipate being there in the next couple weeks.  If anyone wants to see a n/a GTO run 11s be my guess.  My tag reads FATMAN

I might have bought one of those LS2 GTOs but I could not figure out how to get the top down.

I also don't find the GTO to be ugly or overrated.  But the bottom line for me is that a good deal could not be had in my area at the time........and I wasn't forking out 35K for the extra 100hp.  Heck, the few 06's that are still on lots in my area are still demanding 30+K.  Maybe it has to do with geography, but I'd like to know where everyone is finding brand spankin new LS2 Goats for under 25K.

But brand new....stock for stock, the LS2 GTO and the new Mustang GT simply were not on equal footing......design-wise, performance-wise, or price-wise.  Simple as that.  The GTO was built with a different target consumer in mind.  Any attempt to compare the two will find itself in apple vs. orange's territory.

03/04 Cobra > LS2 GTO > 03/04 Mach 1 > 3v GT > LS1 GTO > 2v GT

This is stock for stock, driver for driver.

I mean really...couldn't you just have left the 2v off the list?  It would have been better than putting it dead last...Lets change it a bit:

03/04 Cobra > LS2 GTO > 03/04 Mach 1 > 3v GT > LS1 GTO > 2v PI GT > 2v NPI GT



Fatman, I think you'll be hard pressed to find many GT owners on this site that think their stock cars are the fastest thing on the road...and the OP's errant classification of the LS2 Goat as a "Dog" has been properly bashed in this thread, and should be enough even for your liking.
