Yes, I am. Why pay $25k just for a fucking drivetrain?
The car weighs 3,700 lbs & has no options & looks like it should be called Cavalier SS.

You realize it's not always just about hp/tq numbers right?
Come back when you're educated.

Educated??? I meant new price for a car. Sure you can wait a few years and get a GTO for nowhere near it's cost. The GTO runs a faster 1/4 mile stock, RWD, and sits 4 people even though it's a coupe. So what else is there other than the hp/tq numbers?
A GTP is a drivetrain with doors. Oh my bad, 2 doors more. I forgot what a luxury ride it was.
THat's why you're crying in that other thread about getting a TL and dumping your GTP. Sorry I had to help you with how the real world works and buying a house since you have no idea what the hell is going.
Look who's educated now you

they are nice, but GTO is no where near the RX-7, supra and NSX in overall performance.
the FTO is ok, but again, their direct competitor = integra is way too better than FTO in many ways.
the styling is cool, but nowhere near great

I'm pointing out that according to your logic the Vette is worthless as well, which really would put you in the loony bin. With a sub-5-second 0-60 time, the GTO is like getting a Vette with 4 seats..for $20K less. If that's not worth $25K, I'd hate to see how YOU would price cars. No disrespect, but your point is illogical. Compare what else you could get for $25K and tell me there are better performance bargains in that realm. Nothing else measures up.
The vette has a lot more options than the GTO. The GTO has no fucking options. Power win/locks/mirrors like every other car wow!!!

Guess this is why they call you "Loco"?

According to the Pontiac data linked above the GTO, Mustang and Grand Prix have nearly identical SLALOM speeds! *GASP* That pretty much throws your "straight line" theory out the window, unless you agree that your *own* car can't handle. I'm not sure precisely what you have against the GTO, but strangely it's not supported by reality and facts.
