Please, no flames or fighting...
Okay, let's play a game. You have $30k burning a hole into your pocket and you've narrowed your new car choices down to 2 cars; a 2005 GTO or a 2005 Mustang GT. You've priced the GTO, it's a bit less than $34k. The GT is $28k. The GTO is currently listed for $30,XXX due to GM's marketting scheme, the GT is almost impossible to find; but you've found one for $27,7XX.
Now, in YOUR opinion, which car would you purchase? Feel free to list some PRO's and CON's of each; but let's refrain from personal attacks such as the classic, "That car's butt ugly!!" thing. I'm posting this on both Stangnet AND LS1.com for comparisons from both sides.
We all know that the GTO has 400 horsepower, the GT 300. We all know that the GTO has a 6-speed, the GT a 5-speed. From the magazines the GT, (with a live axle) out handles a GTO, (with an IRS). The GT also out-brakes the GTO. Gas mileage is the same for both cars. Mods: There are a bunch of blowers for both cars, and you also have the option for doing the head 'n cam package on the GTO. Current owners please chime in here as far as power figures, etc.
Soooo, which car would you choose if you were facing my decision, (as I'm sure a few others here have)??
Bear in mind that I already have a 600 horsepower Mustang, so brand loyalty really isn't a factor for me.
Please keep this civil---if possible. Thanx for taking the time to post any responses!!
