Re: 04' GTO vs. 05'Mustang

First off I love all the styling of the new mustang. And being a mustang owner, I am somewhat biased. But I actually like the new GTO. So my comparison isnt that off.

However for strait out power for price, the mustang blows it away. Yes the GTO is fast, and hell the ones that get modded will be killers, but there is already a difference in price in the thousands, and thats stock. Take the price of a GTO and bolt ons, and you could use that to build a Mustang that would be faster. I almost gaurentee(sp?) it.

As much as I love my car's v8, and since we are talking v8 vs. v8 here, I can state my opinions. As much as I really am a "No replacement for displacement" kinda guy, I really think im starting to find there is a replacement. Hmm...lets call it "technology." Smaller engines are putting out alot more then they used to, we have some bavarians pushing 300+hp with a v6. So altough in my eyes, when it comes to engines bigger is better, you shouldnt say "a 4.6 doesnt compare to a 6.0" just based on size.
