MadBilly's GTOs
Ok, I found the Car And Driver he refered to.
January 2005:
Page 46, Goat and Pony Showdown. I was right about the Mustang winning the comparison by only one point. The final score was 211 to 210. The article speaks well of both cars, but obviously, the Stang is the better.
I attempted to find the article online but was unable to find it.
I noticed something else in this issue of CAD:
In the Winners and Losers section on page 71:
Oh yeah, where are the new GTO verts?
Mustang has em?
Vette has em?
Here is your GTO (cough) I mean Monaro!

ORIGINAL: Car and Driver
Last year, Pontiac expected to sell 18,000 copies of its 350-hp GTO--had hoped, in fact, that the mildly made over Holden Monaro might even become a successor to the F-body Camaro and Firebird. Instead, the Austrailian-built muscle car tanked deeper than a Roto-Rooter snake. Only 8229 copies had been sold nine months into the year, with a 168 day supply filling up dealer lots.
Automotive News observed, "So far, the revived Goat looks more like a turkey," and Autocar remarked, "The Goat is turning out to be a bit of a dog."
Last June, just when Pontiac most needed some sort of heaven-sent GTO marketing boost, actor Val Kilmer was seen driving a GTO. Unfortunately, his was a convertible, circa 1969

RE: MadBilly's GTOs
the mustang lost every performance catagory, it won on "gotta have it factor", thats how the mustang won. If you do remember, old muscle cars were styled to look like everyday cars, not elaborate things like ferraris. Iv got the magazine under my cabinent in the bathroom. Also that was the GTo with the 5.7 now they come with a 6.0. So you are going to tell me that a mustang will beat a GTO, if im buying a fast car i will buy the one that is faster, also the GTO doesnt have the look that a highschool girl wants. The eclipse outsells the mustang, but the mustang is faster, and they are priced the same, DADDY's like to buy there high school daughters CUTE cars, The majority of mustangs built and sold are The V6 mustangs, the GTO ony comes in a V8.

if the GTO is not a highschool girl's car, then why does it look like a effing grand am???
make that thing into a sports car
i'll admit that splitting the exhaust and adding non functional hood scoops helped, but still you can get a grand am with hood scoops
