up date kit fot 04 GTO

[PxTx]

Sorry if you didn't like the analogy I drew to the 55. You obviously like them very much. I am not trying to say the Subaru is faster. With all the aftermarket mods the 55 had, just about any car would be.

Yes, the Mustang was most likely traction limited. I have a roots blown toyota truck I drive everyday (about 30k a year). The low end torque does make it hard to get out of the hole without a huge smoke show. With slicks the Mustang would do better, but it would not be stock. I find the Subaru to be better engineered for the elegance of all components working together and doing several things well...accelerate, brake, turn, seat 4 people, etc.

Back to the spirit of the thread, the GTO is unable to do any of these things better than a less expensive Japanese cars (which seem to get better every year). An update package is nessisary if the market is expected to suport this car for more than a few years. What ever happened to the ho-hum Thunderbird?
