I can't believe what I was reading about 05-06 GTO's. I know someone who actually let me borrow their 06 for a day. Bright red outside, red interior inside. LS2, 6 speed... I wanted to sell my Trans Am immediately and go buy one. In bright red the car was not boring looking by any means. And as a matter of fact, most females love the look of the GTO, whereas a Trans Am is a little bit much, and even a little bit awkward looking. And even to those who think it does look boring, ever heard of a sleeper? They are a blast to drive, and at the same time a thousand times more comfortable that a 4th gen... or a mustang for that matter. I think the issue is that a reviewer writes "this car looks like a grand am" and everyone else thinks the same thing.

Speaking of mustangs, I know three mustang owners. All of them love their cars, but all of them will admit they quickly got bored with their lacking performance after the newness of the car wore off. They want to modify, but the only thing really worth the money is a supercharger for those 4.6's, and thats a hefty amount of money to put down on mods all at once. My girlfriends dad, for example, fell in love with a 08 bullitt mustang at the lot and paid 32k for it. It's not slow, but knowing his friends g37 sedan is faster makes him cringe. He's been looking for pre-owned gt500's and c6's for a while now.
