GTO's have steeper rear axle ratios, and a steeper 1st gear ratio.

That makes a quick launch tougher.

Even getting a good launch it means the engine has to push longer to get into it's powerband.

Corvettes handily beat Mustang GT's, and GT500's. Because they have power, and are lighter.

F-Bodys, DO NOT beat Mustang GT's. They also have a steeper rear end ratio, and are about the same weight as the Mustang.

Oh, the 350 HP GTO's also don't beat Mustang GT's

400 HP GTO's only......................
