GTO must be one of the ugliest things I have seen. I was wondering how we would run against them, but I never see one around to race. [sm=lame.gif]

Just went to the GTO forums and saw that the normal 1/4 mile times were 14.00. When they didn't have a good driver the 1/4 mile times were 14.9-15.3.
Guys, thats strait from the GTO forums from the people who love em.......[:'(]
Now obviously there were some, just like here, who highly modified them and ran 11's to mid 10's, but stock to stock..... MUSTANG!!
there are new stangs ran high 14s which they are soppsed to run mid 13s.. l have seen GTO vids l believe on streetfire that they ran flat 13 very low 13s.

I was pretty surprised when I ate a 04' GTO with 470 miles on my GT. I was shocked when I pulled on an '05, and let me tell you both drivers were pissed. I agree that with a superb driver the 05 and later models definetly have the -potential- to take a Mustang out by at least a couple car lengths. The car definetly has power, but I just dont see performance that reflects 400bhp. This could definetly be the limits of my experience talking, as Ive only run into a handful on the street and twice at the track.

I've seen vids of most everything, even Honda's running 9's, I've seen video of so many things (car related...) yet on the street and at the track, where it counts I have yet to see GTO LS1 stockers best a very high 13.... and the infamous 6.0 GTO was maybe a few tenths quicker... but since you saw vids of new Mustang's running high 14's, that must be the norm....

Do you dislike your car or something? Can't get it out of the 14's? Good grief, I've seen video of GTO's running 15's, does that make it the norm??

Yeah, with the GTO you are in an exclusive club.

Very few people will pay that amount of money for a car that should be shaved and driven backwards.

Default RE: 06 Mustang GT vs GTO

Well I just raced one the other day, three times we went, his was stock and my 05 GT is too with the exception of my Corsa's. I'm pretty sure the HP gain if any would be negligible, but when we ran, it was an even race, both cars ran about equally. I got better launches tho because of the Auto tranny.

dude l like my car but that doesnt mean that l have to make my car my god and defend it all the time.. truth is truth.. new GTOs are faster than us.

if you would have line a up a decent driver l would have seen what would happen to you! those things will kill us.

you are talking about freaking hondas, show me 9 sec. stock honda! l am talking about stock GTO ran 13 flat and very low 13s at the track. have you seen 13 flat bone stock stang GT?

it is not about loving my car or something, it is the truth.. l will bet EVERYONE on this web site.. STOCK for STOCK decent drivers.. hands down GTO!

here is a link about 0-60mph times and 1/4 mile times

http://www.albeedigital.com/supercou...0-60times.html

P.S. l am not trying to be jerk or something.. l love my mustang and other mustangs as much as you guys do.

Default RE: 06 Mustang GT vs GTO

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......................

I have raced both GTO's. We can give the 04's a run for their money, but the 05's will WALK ALL OVER YOU. It was heartbraking and embarassing. The easy way to tell is the exhaust. The 04's have one tailpipe on the left, whereas the 05's have dual pipes. Spare yourself the shame if you come up behind those dual pipes. Yes they are ugly. Yes they are overpriced. Yes they are FAST.

I just saw a GTO commercial & it said they have 300HP, whats up?
you mush have heard wrong or something l believe.. 2005+ GTOs are 400hp. 400 torque. 204 GTOs are like 300ish horses like trans ams..
OK. So, I am rolling along in my 06 vert and this guy darts from behind me up to my driver's side. He gives me the look and nails it. He was in a GTO (not sure what year). I played with him a while and we came to a stoplight. He starts revving and I look over at him. He gives me a big smile and I know it's on! I looked at my wife and told her to hold on. There was no traffic in front of us so I nailed it when the light turned green. I hooked up immediately and took off! We were side by side and he was mashing gears. With my tune and the guys at SCT, my auto performed flawlessly! The guy looked shocked that we stayed side by side. I was also surprised. I don't know if he was a bad driver or what, but I was impressed that we were even up to around 80 which was when I backed down!
