i ended up buying a 6 speed duramax after that. then broke my neck and couldnt drive a manual anymore so a i ran across a one owner, low milage 01 gt while i was searching for a auto camaro. long doors make it easy to pull my cair into the car. im like you, not a one brand person. i enjoy and respect any worthy car. i do prefer a big 3 vehicle though.

A CTSV is out of the question....too much money for them but I would love to own one. I agree the looks go to the Mustang, but the power and potential go to the GTO. I like the look of the GTO so it's not an issue.
And if I get one it sure as **** won't be a A4...I refust to own a "muscle car" that is an automatic unless I am die-hard drag racer (which I'm not).
For $15-$20K...you can find both Mach's and GTO's with similar miles and mods...but the GTO will be making more power. It will prob come down to how I like driving one and what I can find. Ideally I would like to do a straight trade for the GTO and not loose out on any money whether it be private part or dealer.
Xemeth: Wasn't it you that put an LS into a mustang?? Is the LS2 and the added price for the 05/06 really worth it? I would rather the dual exhaust bumper and ram air hood...other than that the power diff between the LS1 and LS2 is???
sn95 331 GT yellow: Everything is for sale for the right price (I hate typing your sn btw...)lol

The LS1 is a 5.7 350hp. The LS2 is a 6.0 400 HP. I'd personally go LS2 if you can find one at a good price. It has a 4.00" bore, so you can put L92 heads (which are dirt cheap for stock heads) that flow better than most aftermarket ported 241 or 243 (LS1/6 heads). They flow over 300cfm bone stock. If I had known the bore differences before I bought my motor, I would have found a 6.0 or bigger (for the 4.00" bore).

Yeah, that's me. Mines an LSX, LS1 shortblock, aftermarket LS6 ported heads, LS6 intake, and a TSP cam.
