I know they came with either a 5.7 L or a 6.0L V8, and have a ton of horsepower, and I want one, but can't afford it.

They suck at launching at the track because of their independent rear suspension and other things. But the IRS allows it to be a comfy daily driver. From a roll they are beasts. The trunk is borderline non-existent because the gas tank is in the car instead of under. They weigh 3725lbs which is like 300 lbs more than a current Mustang GT but get 16mpg city and 23mpg highway, compared to the Mustang GT's 15mpg city and 23 highway. Anything else you want to specifically know about feel free to ask me.

well i have been look into them. not sure if i wana go with the 5.7 or 6 but i know the insurence is 600 less than 99-04 mustang gt. i have browsed the ls1gto site seen some things i like. i payed off my car a week ago so i am starting to save for a down payment of something better. i like mustangs alot but the gto is looking so much better to me now. i just gota find some one with one a drive it. Is there anything i should look for when buying a gto?

Buying an 04 will be cheaper leaving you with more mod money, but...with the 05-06s you get 50 more hp and 35 more tq, and better brakes. My personal advice is if you could get an 05. It would have the better brakes and engine, it would be cheaper than an 06, and if you ever want to do the gauge pod on top of the center console all you would have to do is plug in some cables rather than tape them together. BTW the 04 brakes aren't awful. They just suck next to the 05-06s. Also if money is a convern the 04s get marginally better gas mileage.

Also heavy is relative, they weigh 3725 curb weight, about 200lbs less than a gt500, and about 250lbs more than a s197 gt.

Not a fan of the souped up grand prixs they are ugly IMO. Typical LS1 tho. Will outrun a stock GT but not a Termi

No not yet, cops are pretty lenient here about that. There are soooo many cams to look into there isn't just one that is raved about.

LS2 GTO's are nice and road beast! they will eat up stock or mildly modded S197's. They also have great interior, well its way better then the GT's interior.

The interior is the only thing I like. The shifter is teribale talk about the longest throw on the planet. I think my 95 F-150 with a 5 speed manual has a shorter throw than an 04 GTO

I would love to have a GTO but insurance being that much for a car in general is just insane... mine is less then 600 for 6 months
