At least the new GTO approval rating has improved in the past two years.

Hey, I agree. I don't think a Mustang is a " Crapstang" ( there were plenty of Mustangs built from the factory in the Musclecar hay-day that could smoke a GTO ) or a Charger is a "Slowpar" ( same as prior ). I think the new Mustang is cool, the Charger, although a disappointment as a new Charger , is one of the baddest cars available as a 4 door sedan, the Nissan Z car is in a class by itself, etc, etc, etc. Personally I don't get the Mustang -GTO rivalry. The GTO was concieved as a "Musclecar", as was the Chevelle SS..very similar. The Mustang and Camaro were both tagged as "Ponycars"...very similar. And the big Hemi Mopars as " Supercars". I luv 'em all except the Monaro. I don't "hate" it, just the half-assed attempt GM did as trying to pass it off as a legitamate GTO. Personally, the car in and of itself is a righteous ride.
