Anyone read article about new GTO in Autoweek?
The article was alright until it was talking about the competitors for the GTO, and it listed the CL as one. When they talk about competitiors for a new model dont they have to still be in production?

I'd say a M3 would be a better competitor. I watched an 03 GTO (350 hp verision 6 speed) against a e46 body style M3 it was a pretty even fight. the M3 edged him out in a drag. they were both stock. but since both the M3 (as of 06 E90 bodystyle) got more power and the GTO got more power(400 hp) I think it will be a good fight again.

RWD how will even against a 03 6 speed 260 hp CL. even with a Superchager,CAI,headers and exhaust. I think the stock GTO would leave a CL modded ( the mods said above) in the dust. I'm not making fun of the CL. it's a nice car. but the CL is not a competitor.

Here is an excerpt from the article:
...and further solidifies the car's place among its key competitors, including the Acura 3.2CL, Mazda RX-8, BMW 3 Series and Chrysler Crossfire.
