Rabon, I totally agree with you. I traded in my 02 WS6 TA for the 04 goat. It was the best decision I ever made with regard to car choice.
The 04 GTO is way more comfortable, handles way better and out performs the TA in every way (in my experience).
I can take corners at way higher speeds than I could with the TA.
The 04 GTO is just superior and in a two year time span it's like "chalk and cheese"[/QUOTE]
I put many miles on a 2001 SS and know exactly what you are saying. At first, the driving comfort of my new GTO made me think twice about trying to take curves at the speeds I would have taken them in the SS or my Firebird. I soon learned that the driving comfort was not given to me at the sacrifice of handling.
To carbking: I have personally seen a '72 Chevelle get 21 mpg on a 500 mile trip. Nevertheless, my '04 GTO easily gets 25-26 mpg on the highway and 17-18 tooling around the city. Using the "instant fuel economy" digital readings from the info center it gets less when I really "get on the pedal".
