I don't know about those GTO's. I like the idea of a 400 HP 6.0 (I believe that is the correct specs) but from what I have experienced, they are turds. I don't know if its the weight or the fact that the one I raced was an auto, but I beat an '05 6.0 3 out of 4 times racing in the 1/8th. Maybe it was the fact that the guy didn't have a clue about his car, telling me it would run over 200 MPH if he took the electronic limiter off, but it just really didn't pull very hard. I took him out of the hole (which could be from wheel spin) but even half way down the track, he could not pull on my car. Trust me, I am far from talking up my 9.4 sec. 1/8 mile beast, just hinting at the fact that those cars (or at least the one i raced: I have learned auto=slow) was far from spectacular... and even further from the advertised 400 HP.Nik_95Cobra said:My friend had an 04' sti and he'd continuously walk me pretty hard. I like the way yours looks a lot better than the 04'. I was almost going to get an 03/04 cobra but now I'm hell bent on a 05+ GTO.

It grows on you. The front end doesn't look half-bad in person. And the cheesy wings (technically I think there are three total, the big one at the back is actually two) start to grow on you... kinda like a fungus. It's so obnoxious, it's kinda appealing.BlueOvalStangGT said:Thats the first time I have seen that body style. I dont like the lights or that mini spoiler(dont really mind the big one that much but the small one looks cheesy)

I think you are too used to your suspension after the upgrades. Been ther done that and no comparison. The stang is a lot looser and leans a whole lot more.
It's probably slightly overrated at 300 bhp, typical stock STI puts around 235 awhp, which is about the same whp as a '99-04 GT. Based on others experience, I'm expecting I'll see about 19-21 mpg on average, just a tad more than I've been getting with my Cobra. And yes, 'tis a 6-speed. The factory short-shifter is longer than a typical Mustang aftermarket short shifter, but it's really not half-bad. It's better than the T-56 in my Cobra, at least in how it shifts.pleasehelp said:What's the HP, TQ and MPGs ratings on those? Is it a 6 speed?
