Cobra is a package on a regular Mustang, SRT-8 is a Challenger or Charger, or even a Jeep Cherokee, or Chrysler 300. Bottom line is, SO WHAT?
You probably don't think my '04 and my '06 GTOs are "real" GTOs, either, but they are VERY real to me.
1971 was the last year that the GTO carried the infamous 242 designation, but MY favorite year is the 1972, even though the differences were very modest. Yet, the minor changes were enough to determine which year I preferred, and the lack of a 242 made no difference to me, still doesn't.

I meant that there were GTO Post Coupes with B pillars and vent windows in '72, versus all hardtops 70-71. '72 is one of favorite years of Goat, '64 being my top pick.
Didn't know if were interested in those rare models. Sorry to repeat the "option" part. I love all GTO's, including the 2000's models.
