I am surprised I didn't see any discussion of this 3 way comparison in Motor trend. Feb. edition. Seemed like a fair comparison.
The winner was the CTS-V, Then the Hemi powered 300 and the GTO was last. It was a pretty good comparison I thought.
The only advantage the GTO has is price.
Exclusive of price the V is the better car. 4 doors, lots more features (20K worth? maybe).
Surprising how a big of a car the 300 is and how it still handles and brakes very well.
I know many here think a 2 door is better but your in the minority of car buyers. I will always go for a 4 door over a 2 door every time. More room, easier to get in and out. More practical.
I looked at buying a V and also looked at the GTO. But I really don't care about the 1/4 mile acceleration. I looked at the whole package. The GTO was lacking in many things that were important to me. Not to mention dealers that would not even let me test drive it. I know if I had to have a car with 350/400hp I would of bought the V. Oh and I think the V is awesome looking car, best of the bunch, looks agressive just sitting still.
Nobody reads Motor Trend?
