Once again.........
The new GTO is a RWD, V-8, manual transmission comfortable car with room for 4 adults. Oh, and it also handles and accelerates well..... There is not one other car available today that meets this criteria, which, BTW, describes an old GTO as well (except for the handling part
), unless you spend quite a bit more money.
My Formula looked "good" by most accounts. It was not half the car the new GTO is. Should I sell the GTO and buy another 'bird because it looks better? Why drive a car that looks good, but doesn't have all of the other, more important features.
What do you drive as a daily driver? If you tell me it's your '69, then I will understand your myopic view on the subject, since you obviously don't go very far on a daily basis, and looks win over practicality and reliability. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
yes my 69 is my daily driver. man you must know everythign about me. first you know that your sound system in your 04 sounds better then my 69. now you know how far i drive everyday. what next? no looks arent the most important. its the performance that is. you guys are making this car sound like its the best looking fastest,best handling car made. to prove a point i told you guys about 4/6 banger imports that will beat it or at least hang right with the new GTO for the same price if not cheaper. then you come back with excuses like oh its AWD it can handle better. you think? maybe thats why it is AWD. or it has boost. yeah and it needs a lot of it. or you wouldnt drive it. i would considering it does everything (1/4,handle,accelerate better then the gto) since thats what its all about.if you guys want to compare cars for what they can do (1/4 mile times,skidpad,0-60) and find another car that will do what the new GTO can do or do it better dont get pissed. i would too if i spent $35,000 on a badge. what are you gonna do if some kid pulls up to you at a stoplight and wants to run em? say no all i race is RWD imports in the same price range. now who was talking about common sense? and stating the obvios?
