The '05 GT puts down better numbers than the "storied" GTO? I could really see this happening....mid-high 13's is not out of the question for the '05 GT, and it wold be a COMPLETE bag-over-the-head-punch-in-the-face to GM.

It's just a completely different beast. IRS, roomy backseat for a coupe, good ride, good comfy/roomy interior, etc... Seems like a better daily driver. I wouldn't buy it for the same reasons as a Mustang GT, which is why i think they'll attract different customers. GTO almost seems like a semi-luxury sports coupe, whereas the mustang is a pony car and sports coupe. I think they serve different purposes. GM was probably aiming at the 350z, G35, and other semi-luxury and luxury performance coupes.
