Re: GTO will soon be back! GM's RWD platform is on track
No they aren't, not to mention imo, they are nice looking rides. But the unwillingness of dealers to take off the markup lead me to buy the GTO. Which I'm glad I did, while the 05+ is way better than the 99-04, the pita computer systems in them where you have to tune them to put on an air filter would be obnoxious. Also I find the GTO more comfortable and refined than the GT.

The new GTO is ugly as hell, what are they doing to it. I like the current design. What is with a few of you talking about an '03 GTO, they don't exist. 04-06. Nick, you getting old, need comfortable and refined, you old man

I'm talking about styling more than anything, I really don't like the looks of the new mustangs at all, I think they tried too hard and fell short. I don't think they handle too well either, the one I drove felt very vague, but that was probably the stock suspension and those horrible half-mile high sidewall stock tires.. I'm just giving my opinion, I don't like them. I'm sure I might change my mind with the right performance mods, but I don't think the ugliness would be easy to improve.

55 series tires on a sports car was stupid, not to mention a 235 width. I don't know what they were thinking when they did this.

Maybe they were going for nice progressive break away at low speed so people wouldn't get bit??

They're nice and squirmy, and behave just like a lot of other stock domestic car plastic tires. Save a buck anywhere you can!
