i'll be honest, that's a tough call. I own an 04 gto and i test drove the evo, and i was blown away by both.

the reason i didn't go with the evo was because it didn't come with the options I wanted. I basically wanted an evo with no rear wing, and the dumb **** car salesman didn't want to make the deal work. They could have ordered a brand new evo rs trunk lid and painted it for me, and I probably would have paid sticker on the car, and all they would have had to suck up was the cost of the trunk lid and painting it. They could have even ebayyed the trunk lid with the deer antlers on it, I wouldn't have cared. I certainly didn't want it.

the evo rs package comes with no rear wing, but also no stereo, no power windows or locks, and no keyless entry. The stereo wouldn't have been a big deal to add, but i didn't want to deal with the other ****.

i guess if i had to answer it i'd put it this way. If i only could own one vehicle period, I'd pick the evo over the gto. But since I own a beater truck as well and I don't have to drive the gto in winter, or to move big ****, or to pack 4 or 5 people into, I'd pick the gto again in a second even if the evo came the way i wanted at the price i wanted.
