93toNV Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 I am looking into buying one of these 2 vehicles in the next couple weeks. Just wondering your opinions and how these vehicles stack up to each other. Discuss! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Mustang's look better imo, but the GTO has the better engine. Depending on what you want to do with it they are both good cars. It would be a tough choice for me but I would lean towards the Mustang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93toNV Posted January 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 I test drove both, and they seem pretty equally matched on power. I like the GTO interior better but I like the mustang exterior better! Ugh, this is tuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawnman Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 I was looking at either a 04 GTO or 06 GT. I bought the Gt . I am not a big guy and the interior of the Gt is a tight fit for me , I am 5'9" and 185 lbs . If you are over 6'0" and 200 lbs you might want to look at the GTO.

Ugh, this is tuff Look at depreciation info, mod price for the ones you are considering (if any), and just sit and look at pictures and videos online until your mind is made up. I personally think that mustangs are one of the best sounding cars made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tbutera2112 Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 05 mustang is ugly as shit.... i love gtos, i like the relaxed look with the nice engine... i would go with an ls2 gto, but if you cant afford one, then the ls1 would do just fine... forget the stang unless you plan to drop some serious money into performance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurkvinny Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 GTO. Then you can smile every time someone says, "those fucking things are just a glorified Grand Am", because you know how comfy and fun of a ride it really is. Plus the LS1 likes mods.

Nitrousbird Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 05-06 GTO...then you get the vented hood, better brakes, LS2, better looking exhaust setup. 04's go a lot cheaper than the 05-06's though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 GTO or massive fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93toNV Posted January 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 lol thanks for the responses guys. The votes here seem about as close as me trying to make up my mind. If I could afford the ls2 GTO my mind would be made up, but as it sits right now, im in the 04 price range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sol740 Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Id go GTO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pontiacfreak142 Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 i personally would go with the GTO, but thats personal opinion. They both have there ups and downs. stock Vs stock, they do feel about the same power wise cause the GTO is a bit heavier car. If your buying the car with the intent to mod it, then it become personal preference to what you like better, NA or boost. LS1 makes rediculous power NA, while it would take boost for the stang.

Guest GMoney Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 LS2 GTO! Save a couple more months or do what ever you can to get it way better car. but back to your 04 gto or 05 gt. If you are not gonna mod the cars at all it would be a toss up, i would head for the GTO as i am a GM guy, the LS series motors can not be beat for the money. If you plan to mod the car get the GTO, no question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jizzle Juice Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 GTO!!!!!!!! of course! but if u get a 04 you'd be better getting a 98-02 trans am same engine but it weighs less so therefore its faster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
