I'm not a Ford guy but..........if I had to choose between those two cars I would take the Mustang.
The GTO has zero style.
The Mustang is loaded with it.

It's true the goat looks like a bloated cavalier, but it gets a lot of sleeper points. The exhaust is great, and I really don't like Ford. If i had the money, I would deff get a GTO.

Hands down here id take the GTO over the GT stang.
The GTO does look good maybe not as good as the new stangs.
Now think of this, summer of 2006 everywhere u go Stangs everywhere now wouldnt u want a car that you dont see everywhere??? Its like seeing a Honda Civic everywhere comapred to a Corvette. Then take em to the track and the GTO will look better because it will win.

....for $10K on your own using all brand new parts .
The bolt on to the 9's Cobra was a bargain . The only thing that coulda made it better was a 8.8 stuffed with moser axles , 4.30's and a HD eaton posi instead of the IRS .

I don't think it's that surprising. A lot of Camaro owners bought their car because of the value it represents and the stand out styling. Now, granted soon their will be a lot of those new 05 stangs running around, but the car has a good design and looks great on the outside. It's the closest thing to an F-body on the road today!

Personal preference....but I just think GTO looks alittle nicer without it's spoiler. I've seen acouple where the owners removed them and filled the holes, and I think it looks pretty cool.
I think the Mustang looks better without it's spoiler also.

After the test drive I asked my wife how it was in back, she said it was cramped and had the same experience with making room for the front seat back.
2. Personally, I like 2+2 seating because it discourages all but the most determined of unwanted backseat passengers. For some of us, true 4-passenger seating is actually a major inconvenience.
