RE: thinking of steping up a year.
i went and drove one yesterday. it didnt feel as strong as my car but i didnt get to flog it just a whole lot. the ride quality and fit and finish are night and day vs. my car. now i need to drive a goat. i think the gto is a good looking car myself. infact i liked it better than the sn197 until the last 2 months or so. the style finaly grew on me. now i just have to find the right one. the one i drove had some weird billet grill and a flow master after cat that sounded like poo for some reason. my car sounds way louder and way deeper, might be way i "thought" the 05 felt slower.

whats up guys, i have an 04 GT with several bolt ons now and i am thinking of steping up to the 05+. I just have a few questoins. first what kind of times can i expect stock? i have raced a bunch of them and i can hold off a stock one until 100 ever time. i consider myself a good driver and have no idea what kind of drivers i was up against. i am also thinking of a ls2 gto, how close in performance are we talking about here? i want to be a mid to low 12 second car in the end. thats all i am going for, what kind of mods are needed to achive this? and last, is there anything i should look for when picking out the new gt?
oh also, anyone know if my diablo sport will work on the new gt or do i have to get a new one?

RE: thinking of steping up a year.
I like the goat, I enjoy driving a low-profile car, you don't get as many looks as you might in a stang, but it helps with cops and stuff...
plus, having more go than show is never a bad thing.
Also, the interior on the GTO is much nicer + six speed trannies are more fun.

A tune, stall, and nittos would get you mid 12s in the A4 GTO easy. I got friends with a cam, stall, drag radials, and a tune running high 11s in the autos. I was running 11s for $1800 in my 04 M6 GTO. Doesn't take much. . .

Id get the GTO for sure. They are so sick. I saw this one with a whipple O M G it was a beast.
Oh...plenty of people here do not have a mustang. A lot of the more knowledgable members have GM cars.

RE: thinking of steping up a year.
If I were you, I would keep the car you have and put a blower on it plus a few other goodies. You have a nice car already and it would be a beast with a few "small" mods. But, if you decide to get a new car stick with the mustang, the GTO is made in Australia and looks like a Grand Prix on roids.
