the GTO is not a Grand Prix, completely different car. Motor Trend and other magazine companies gave it a decent review for the price. Lots of criticisms especially when compared to the original. In all actuallity the SRT4, Ion Redline, etc are closer to the original then the current GTO.
I think that SVT is a pretty good tuner outfit for Ford, same goes for Mazdaspeed. In just a few months, the MSP protege kicked some serious butt (until the SRT-4 came out) Wait until SVT/MS gets it's hands on the new focus/3! I know that Ford will most likely never have a set up like SRT or like the Chevy SLP shops. Don't know why but it's just a feeling.
