Today, a friend of mine who owns one of the new (05) Mustang GTs stopped by to see what I was up to. He took notice of the GTO and I asked him if he'd driven one, he said no. So I tossed him the keys, he backed it up and took off with a roar of the engine and a screech of the tires. He took it to the top of the hill, turned it around, then came back down the road. He passed my house at about 110mph and I could see a HUGE smile on his face as he zipped by. A couple minutes later, he turned into the driveway with a massive SEG on his face, opened the door, got out, looked at the car and said "damn, I have GOT to get me one of these!".
To me, that's like the ultimate compliment. Someone can say "nice car" or "damn, that's fast", but whenever someone gets out and realizes how much their brand new car SUCKS...that's the best! I love this car! I would trade it for a dozen new Mustang GTs though...just so I could sell 'em and buy more performance parts for the GTO. :cool
On a side note, I came about 2 inches from wrecking the goat tonight. Some IDIOT was driving without his headlights on. I just happened to see a reflection of the car behind (WAY behind) him on the back quarter-panel of his car just as I was pulling out. I hit the brakes so hard that the gallon of milk I had in the seat flew into the floor. I'm surprised that it didn't burst. He got the full force of the GTO's bright lights in his rearview mirror, then he figured out that he didn't have his lights on. Some people are just too STUPID to have a drivers' license.
