I don't care for the looks or the sheer size of it. But the bang for the buck is there, and supposedly they handle great.

You don't buy the Roush for the ground effects, you buy it for what they do under the hood.

Put a turbo or blower on it and

Depends on which Stage level Roush you get. $15,000 cheaper than a $50,000 Z06? I'll smoke that Z06 with $15,000 to put into a 2005 GT.

Regardless of what you spend, the Vette will still be a sports car and the Mustang will be a pig with a hot motor.

Furthermore, I wonder when the Mustang was compared to the GT? When in Chevy's history did they forget the Thunderbird? The Mustang's competiton was the Camaro? When did this change happen?

LOL not likely.
You are dealing simply with to much of a HP deficite on the mustang to begine with.

The vette 500HP stock add blower and you are looking at 650HP
The mustang 300 stock add blower 450HP
ZO6 is a 7.0 Liter engine
Mustang is a 4.6 Liter engine
Qubic inches most always wins do the math.

There are dudes out there with C-5 vettes that are doing 9sec quater miles.

Have yet to see a daily driver mustang doing that.

to me cars are moving art, i dont care if my everyday driver goes 13 seconds on the track because my car will never touch the track. Cars these days seem to be cut from the same mold. the old (90's-2004) mustang to me are not much to look at from the outside.

Im a classic car guy, i love classic cars i had 2 now i only have 1. To me the mustang has history behind it and now that they went for the retro look the new 2005 mustang cought my eye

Im going to try and hold off and not buy the 05, im going to try and wait a year but if my car now pukes i have no choice.

The cobra could potentially even eat a GTO for lunch, but that has yet to be proven.

actually eaglr, car and driver did a test between stock 05 mustang GT and the GTO. the stock stang won. granted, they went back and forth, GTO won here, stang won there but in the end, they picked the stang.
that was a stock GT not a cobra. im sure the cobra would smoke the GTO.

If you say so, I tell you what. I obviously know more about cars than you. You seem to have this fascination with "HP". Read more and than post something worthwhile on here. I enjoy debating with "Chevy Guys". Keep trying though, this is fun for me.

Funny thing is this the 04 GTO beat the 04 Stang...the 05 stang beat the 04 GTO...the 05 GTO beats the 05 stang in every performance test they chose the stang due to its styling and thats all...have the article in front of me.

I own an 04 GTO, test drove new stang also comparing it to a stang is apples and oranges, the GTO has a much much more refined interior than the stang and I like the suspension more on the GTO. The GTO came with every option I can think of aside from navigation (I am a man i dont need directions). I liked both cars alot, but i went with the GTO I am one of the few people who actually like the body style, the engines rumble is awesome.

Hell i dont even like the 05 GTO with the added scoops and seperated exhaust.

I appreciate what Rhys Millen has done with the GTO. He's brought it into the world of drifting and tuning.
