Well... it's no Neon, but I freaking LOVE GTO's. If you get it, congrats.
If not, be happy with a Neon... a few mods and you should be able to beat a stock GTO.

not a fan of gto's - except maybe their power. I hate all Pontiacs - they all look the same.

I can tell the differences between them, there are huge differences. They do have similiar lines, and the interior on them are all practically the same, but how is that different from other companies?
I personally like the GTO's, stock they sound amazing.

They have an ass load of power, get some suspension for it and those things rock.
Those things get the worst squat.

The GTO's have alot of bang for the buck, the looks aren't too good but they are nice. I would take any Hemi over one though. Since I am not a fan of Chevy or Ford. Grand Am's are EVERYWHERE out here. They are sooo ugly too. (all versions)

How about that new Boss Mustang...(Is Ford going to put that into production) Weighs the same as the regular GT and cheaper. Very fast! Gotta love "right" wheel drive.

You're funny - of course I can tell the difference, I just laugh'd as I was typing it because of something my son use to do when I had my old 95 Grand Am... everytime he saw ANY pontiac he said "hey dad, that's you're car!"
That is why I bought a Neon - nothing else like it on Earth.

Exactly. That's why I love that car. Course it's no Magnum or Charger or Challenger, but still...

Mmm....Challenger.
I can't wait for that lovely piece of engineering to come out. And if it looks anything like the pictures I always see of it...oh man...those curves..

And I want to stay away from Dodge from now on...... So I was driving down the "car dealer lane" and I saw a 04 GTO up on the stand and right below it was a 05 ACR OB SRT-4.....Sigh, first and second love.

Actually, I think Random1 was saying he likes the Dodges better.

Traded his GTO for a Charger -
All in all, I must admit the quality of the Charger (along w/the features) is leaps and bounds better than the goat.

First off, the general opinion on most charger/lx forums seems to be that the current Charger is more liked then the original concept. That is minus the fact that it is four doors, I'll give you the 4 door part.
Also, I find it kind of hard to refer to the 5.7L 340 horse Hemi as economy. The MDS helps but I get still only get around 25mpg with highway driving. Shit, the SE Chargers aren't even economy.

Yes sir.
And I'm sick of taking it up the ass from Dodge when I tell them whats wrong.

As I said before, if my car was under a year old I would own a lemon.
