Every Mustang forum has long drawn out threads comparing the GTO with the new Mustang. Why does it seem that so many GTO owners feel the need to dismiss the Mustang and pump up the GTO (it is getting a bit worn out).

If you own a GTO good for you - if you have and '05 with an LS2 better for you. Mod it, run it, and enjoy it. But why do you have to keep coming to Mustang forums to pound the table on the GTO's superiority when the 2-cars look pretty close to me on an overall basis. I just don't get it

I think they are both great cars. Except the fact that the Stang is better in every way!

The sad thing is both sides do it. I think it's cool if there's a rivalry but seriously some people just prefer one over the other. When it comes down to things like 1/4 mile times and stuff most people really don't care. Most people don't mod their cars. It's sad that some people can't get over the fact that some people like different things.

They know they can't come to the Cobra boards and talk smack, so they gotta do it over here. The Cobras even own those overrated LS2's.

Basically, they bought a car that looks like every other freaking Grand Prix and Grand Am that Pontiac has made for the last 15 years. Pontiac was stupid for stopping production of the WS6 TA's... those were the baddest ass cars Pontiac has made as far as late model muscle cars go...

The 05 GT's look way better than the Goats.

That much is true. The 05 should be right up there with the 03/04 Cobra. It most likely will be a little slower however.

Umm, the 05 GT's are definetely slower than the 03/04 Cobras...

A 28K car is not in the same class as a 34K car, $100 extra a month is not reasonable to most people. The Cobra has a comparable sticker price to the GTO and as was mentioned above, kicks the billygoats butt. Now who can guess what will happen if the Mustang owner puts $6000 of go-fast parts on his GT? Tell the GTO guys to go race the 05's with SCs if they want a comparison of two $34,000 cars.

Take a litte more time and read what you quoted my friend and you will see the word slower in it.

You're saying it would be a little slower than a Cobra, and I'm saying it'd be a lot slower than a Cobra... that's where we disagree.

Stock Cobra traps at like 112? Stock 05 GTO traps at 110. I don't see that as that much slower, but that is me

Sorry, I thought you were referring to the 05 Mustang GT, not the GTO.

Also, those prices are off.
'05 Mustang GT: $25,000
'04 GTO: $33,500
'05 pricing not listed yet, but those '04 numbers are more in line with an '04 Cobra.
