It is apparently the same in the 2004 GTO as well. The 6-speed does get better gas milage though(plus is alot more fun  )
this just doesn't make sense to me.
how the hell can a 4-speed auto post better numbers than a 6-speed? They must've REALLY mucked up the 6-speed gearing. . .good review, could you post a pic of the new '05 GTO? I've seen "concept" pics, but not the real deal. . .

its all about the mustang
 Unless you mean it's all about the Mustang in the GTO's rear view mirror.
and the mustangs $10,000 in your wallet!
Once again APPLES to APPLES here people. GTO's have no options while the Mustang has a long checklist. Equally equipped were only talking $3-5K, not $10K

When are you going to buy a GTO instead of posting something new about them every week? Maybe I'm not seeing what's so orgazmic about them Mark

That Impulse Blue is nice.
If I had the $$$, with the power upgrade this year, I would consider the GTO. Last year's, no. But now the price vs. the performance fits, and could be considered a bargain in comparison to the Vette and the Caddy CTS-V.
