You can have your 6.0L engine tough guy. I'll take my TL, my 3200 sq ft house, my 2 kids, my 2 OTHER cars, my 3 acres, and my awesome wife... thank you.
If you represent the average GTO driver, I have a new disrespect for all of you fuckers. Have fun spanking it to GTO pics in Mom and Dad's basement..
Don't even bother responding. You don't belong here and this is my last post to you.. Don't forget to give your mom a kiss on the cheek before you go to bed tonight.

Just in the look of the car GM really let us down!! It went from being one of the most bad ass looking cars on the road in the 60's and 70's, to this hunk of shit! Sure it might be pretty quick! But looks wise---the mustang GT(ford did a much better job then GM) The Charger, they all are so much better!! Dont get me wrong, there was a part in my life where all I would buy were GM cars! But I feel that they have let us down lately whith all of there car lines! They all look cheap, and generic!! There trucks are still nice! If you bought a GTO, I bet after a good 6 months to a years you be hearing some serious rattles as well!

Dont get me wrong.... The charger would make a great practical family car.... But calling it a chrager and giving it four doors......
Watcha thinking dodge? I am sure it will out sell the GTO b/c that car is what an average american wants...
True car enthusiats are not average americans...

But I will give you the off the line speed is good! Every car at least has some plus's to it!

What is wrong with you guys?
You are comparing two completely different cars to each other.
The TL is light years ahead features and luxury wise.
The GTO will absolutely blow the doors off the TL in straight line performance.
Facts are that the GTO is a muscle car with mediocre build and hardcore speed.
The TL is a decent luxury car with luxury features and amenities.
END of story.

Instead of reading about it, go sit in one and test drive it.
The problem is your are calling your interior great and we all drive TL's. You dont see us saying our engine's put out gobs of power when talking to GTO owners.

Ive been in a GTO. For GM it's nice, but you can't preach to the choir about a nice interior when we have something that far upstages what you have. (interior wise)

You havent sat in these cars with full on features if you make that statement.
Many of us have shopped lexus and the fact is these interiors are up to par with each other on nearly every level.
I guess I should start comparing you to a Mustang GT.
Im sure you have something better to do.

Dude, you have been comparing one car that has a 6.0 v8 to a car with a 3.2 v6!! Of course the v-8 is going to have more power! It better! It should be a bigger difference in horsepower then it is though! Name one V-6 that GM makes that could hang with the 3.2!! Thats right-----You cant, so shut up!! The interior on the TL is far superior to the GTO!!

thats already been covered. I checked out their thread and I find it very fascinating they started banning people right off the bat. GM folks are somewhat sensitive...
Can't imagine why!

When I looked at GTOs in early 2005, a couple of months before getting the TL, the left-over 350 hp 2004 GTOs were being advertised at $24000 or so. GTO is a BIG 2-door with seats in which I could not get comfortable and which had few amenities compared to the TL, so I did not even drive it despite salespeople begging me to do so. The 400-hp 2005 GTOs should probably be marked down to $26,000 by January 2006 (less than a V-6 Accord), so you could save $7,000 by buying a GTO instead of a TL, if that is any consideration.

The best is some clown over there said he doesnt called a TL luxury or entry level luxury.
They own GTO's with that claim, that's ridiculous.
Makes me embarassed to own other domestic vehicles.

All the GTO guys have to look at is GM's financial records... Honda has record sales... GM... Ummmm... Hm... What's their financial status like?
I wonder how long until the government pulls a Lee Iocca on them and bails them out. I say two years.
