wait till the guy tries to sell the GTO and he will be surprised that it will be worthless. no resale value what so ever on american cars. thats why so much discount on them.

04 Mustangs were slower ... 05s are no joke. Neither is the GTO, that thing is a monster that would be the bargain of the century if they could get it to look right. I mean, it really is a corvette engine stuffed into a chevy cavalier, isn't it?

I'm not a big fan of GM products, particularly the GTO. But I respect it. It's a mean car. However, the GTO is not a cav, it's actually a Holden: http://www.holden.com.au/www-holden/...?modelid=12001

I think typically that is true. There are of course exceptions. I'd like to get my hands on a 03 Cobra. Whew!

I meant that the G was faster than maybe only 60% of all the different models of vehicles made....not the total number of all the cars ever made of each one.
Sorry about my first statement about the G getting rocked by the stang, I thought you were talking about the new 05 mustang, in which case any stock G would get smoked by a new 05 GT model. Since it was the 04, then yeah an auto 04 GT is not that fast at all and the G would hang with it.

the only way you could have sold your SS for more then you paid, is because you prob never drove the car.
supras sell for more then they are bought for too..
american cars is not my cup of tea.

1999 - 2004 Mustang GT is the same car.

50K miles on it in 6 years. Fun car, by the way.
