Stock 05+ Mustang GT (given 13.7ish in the 1/4) vs
BMW M3 = M3
VW Golf - GTI = GT
Mistubishi Lancer - EVO (MR) = Evo
Subaru WRX - STI = GT
Honda Prelude = GT
Honda Civic SI = GT
Nissan Altima SE-R = GT
Infiniti G35 = GT
Lexus IS350 = tie...possibly GT if it's a stick and the person can drive
Nissan 350Z = GT
Dodge Neon SRT-4 = close depending on drivers
Pontiac GTO (5.7L or 6.0L) = GTO

We could beat EVO's. Ive done it both at the track and some kid that tried me on the road. All I had was the magnaflow exhaust on at the time. About 1 car length ahead of them both.

e_pad: you're right, after looking around a bit, looks like the STi runs on average 1-2 tenths faster than an average GT.

Having owned an 06 GTO and an 07 Mustang GT I can say that the Mustang has no chance against the GTO. Further, I believe the GTO is better in every respect except looks.

The bottom line is that the GT's shortcomings are curable, and the GTO's are not. I bought my GT for just over 25k with 0%. My GTO was just over 27k. Take that 2k, add a CAI, tune and 4:10's and you have a GT that will give a GTO a great run, andhave a better looking car in the process. I've put about 6k in mine, and have a blown GT that will destroyGTO's.Problem solved. Matter of fact, most blown GTO's I have seen on the boards are making about the same power my little 4.6 does. Only a few have gotten past 500 whp, but they have also done heads, cams, etc.for the cost of those items I canhave a buile stroker short block and still be money ahead.
The GTO is a great musclecar daily driver. Powerful, comfortable, and reasonably economical. But it justdid not thrill me the way my GT does. I don't miss my GTO at all.

I owned an 05 GTO before my 06 GT.IMO the interiorof the GTO was nicer for a daily driver, but the GT'sinteriorhas a retro cache that ispretty cool.Engine wise I'dgive my GTO an edge for having more HP and TQ, but the 3V 4.6is a nice engine, and is easily modified for GTO killing power. The 6-speed is nice, but I have no complaints on the 5-speed, and I preferthe solid axle of the GT vs. the wheel hop of the GTO's IRS.

interesting stuff....
How about the trans am's and the camaro ss's.
I have a pesky one in town and I rolled on with him and he didn't catch me but I haven't hit it from a dig with him. He's got a stick vs. my auto. All I have for mods is a brenspeed tune/cai
