If you get a GTslow it better be the 6.0...don't bother with the 5.7

Hell yea, only either the 05 or 06, NOT the 04 with the LS1.

What are the prices of said cars?

UriahRR · Post by **UriahRR** » Sun Aug 30, 2009 8:08 pm

The lowest I've seen the Saleen for was about $10,000 and the lowest GTO with the LS2 was $16,000.

Saleen by far.. goats r ugly and not so fast.. and being common how often do you see a saleen around? But i dont think you can get one for 10 grand. or i'd have one

UriahRR · Post by **UriahRR** » Sun Aug 30, 2009 11:33 pm

Yea, I just looked. The cheapest now is like $17,500. I really remember seeing one for $10,000 somewhere, though.

While the Saleen is nice, its still a Mustang. and what's the saying for Mustangs? Slow in, Fast out or Fast in, ambulance out.

I'm sure the 4.6 is a good engine, but the LS series of engines are so awesome.

get an svt mustang

Personally, I love the '67 Chargers, but the new ones can go fuck their ugly selves.

As for the S7 (NOT S-7), it's my absolute favorite ever dream car, but since I don't think I can ever afford the $500,000+ price tag, I settled on the S281.

The only reason I really like the GTO is because it has the LS2 with 400 horses and it didn't do the whole faggy retro bullshit like all the other companies.

I dunno, I hope my Neon lasts a long time, but once it does die I'll get whichever is better at that time. Cool to see that most of you would pick the GTO (Pontiac who?) over the Fix Or Repair Daily. Again, I don't want a Mustang, I want a Saleen. Then again, I guess that's like saying I don't want a Neon, I want an SRT-4.

Mustangs i wont lie are really good cars, BUT most the fuckers that drive them are stupid an think they drive a dam super car. the GTO drivers around here are few and are dumbasses as well. so idk. u dnt seem to be like that but an extra 300+ hp can get to ur head.

The G8 looks to be a nice car but idk if that would be a choice for u.

Oh well. Still if he's gonna get a goat it should be an old one.

Midnight_Rider · Post by **Midnight_Rider** » Tue Sep 01, 2009 5:09 am

GTO = Holden (imported- check the radio knobs if you don't believe me

).
Saleen = modified Ford (American-made).

I vote Saleen.

Moparty08 · Post by **Moparty08** » Tue Sep 01, 2009 8:05 am

Holden. Oh no shit. I remember those cars down in Australia. Pretty nice cars actually. The newer GTO does look a hell of a lot like a couple of those holden cars.

UriahRR · Post by **UriahRR** » Tue Sep 01, 2009 9:22 am

Yea, the GTO is just the Holden Monaro CV8 with a slightly bigger motor. I thought the Monaro even looked good when I saw it a few years ago. Oh, and by the way, they're both American made since Holden is part of GM's Australian division. But enough about that, we're comparing Saleen power vs GTO power. Even with less hp (and a lot less weight), the Saleen seems to be a bit quicker.

I dunno, I dig 'em both. But I sure would give anything to have the word "SALEEN" printed on my car. Much more so than "Pontiac". Pontiac who?

Isn't that like saying you want an SRT-4 but don't want a Neon?

Isn't that exactly what the last sentence says?

Pontiac GTO or Saleen S281?

So, after my Neon dies (hopefully not for a long time), should I get a 2005 Pontiac GTO or a 2004 Saleen S281? Both have very impressive and very close statistics, but which one would you guys get?
