Its a little different when we are talking about a car that will do 160mph, not to mention 0-60 in 4.7 seconds for under 34 grand.tommycheng1728 said:that is quite a specific question, kinda like....... true or false, a chevy aveo is the fastest car in America you can buy (brand new/stock) under $9K
Don't dget me wrong, I love my GTO, but I have seen hondas that will do the same numbers for well under $10K, but to answer your original question, for $34K, the Mitsubishi Lancer EVO VIII MR is faster than the GTO by 0.1 seconds 0-60 and 0.2 seconds faster than the GTO in the quarter mile, but oddly enough, 0-100, the GTO is faster by half a second. but if you want to save $2 grand, for $32K, the Subaru WRX STi is slower than the GTO by 0.2 seconds 0-60 but is 0.2 faster than the GTO in the quarter mile. Hope I answered your question, but if you asked me: true of false? The GTO is the fastest (*AMERICAN/AUSTRAILIAN*) new car you can buy in the world for under 34 grand. (New without mods.) I would say: YES!!!fullarmor2 said:Its a little different when we are talking about a car that will do 160mph, not to mention 0-60 in 4.7 seconds for under 34 grand.![]()
REVISED.........The GTO is the fastest new 2 door car you can buy in the world that has a V8 and is not Japan made for under 34 grand. (New without mods.)fullarmor2 said:I did not answer the original statement one way or the other, however, try finding a car with a v-8 that is in the same class please.:lol:
I know, you caught me working late tonightfullarmor2 said:I should have specified v-8 in the first place. I mean who cares if a four or six banger can compete when you give up certain things like low end torque(usually). I'm just playing regarding this thread anyway!![]()
This was a definite bonus, that's for sure. It's just a great car, we love ours.but I do care that my interior is 1000 times better and more comfortable than their stripped down interiors.

The GTO is faster than the little ricer 4 bangers.

jacobyb, I don't think he was referring the STi or EVO as a "ricer", he was just stating that the GTO is faster than 4 cylinder "ricers" in general...or, that is at least the way that I interrpeted.jacobyb said:Sorry, but how is an STi or EVO a "ricer?" Everything you see on the car from the factory is functional and benefits the respective car in the performance category. The defenition of "rice" is unnecessary modifications to a vehicles interior or exterior that not only make the car uglier, it also drops the performance potential of the vehicle, i.e. big heavy wheels, stupid body kits, etc.
One of the things I hate the most about vehicle specific "enthusiast" sites is the absolute ignorance of other vehicles especially when it comes to American V8 owning people trying to play down Asian cars. I don't know if that was your intention, but I see it a lot here and it is really getting lame.

Thanks for the defense Goatgirl but, yeah, I was lumping the STI, EVO into the ricer category. Neon blue paint and giant rear wings that serve no purpose = rice. Only function there is to excite teenagers.jacobyb said:Sorry, but how is an STi or EVO a "ricer?"
