[QUOTE="MustangFreak, post: 3345857, member: 13124"] I think the GTO is a real nice car.... Looks are subjective but I think it has nice clean flowing lines that go well together... especially the newer models with the better hood / front fascia.... The interior is definitely light years ahead of the Mach 1's.... The drivetrain is nice also.... I would have loved to have a T-56 in mine from the factory.... With that said, all other things aside, I think a 04 GTO is a good match for the Mach1 performance stock vs stock... The 05/06 GTO's definitely have more power and would take a Mach1 on a roll race with equal drivers.... At the dragstrip however, that is a different story.... I was at Famoso on the 25th and there was a guy with a convertible 04 Cobra and he only ran a 13.7 @ 104mph on his first run... I ran a 13.76 @ 103.09 mph..... I would have been right next to him if I raced him but if we went from a 70 roll in 3rd gear he would absolutely destroy me...... ET means nothing, trap speed sometimes also means nothing if the driver can't shift / shifts too early / too late / etc...... This is a meaningless discussion if you are trying to prove which car is faster because everyone has different opinions on the matter.... There is no arguing that the LS1 / LS2 motors put down more power than the Mach1's but the Mach 1 seems to make up for the lack of power output with a lighter weight, better set-up suspension for 1/4 mile driving and a better gear ratio in the 5 speeds and better rear axle ratio for drag racing......
