my personal aspect of the whole nameplate rebirth of older cars has been high and low. the GTO is sickly fast (saw some at the track last night) BUT! if a car company brings back an old nameplate, shouldnt it resemble what it's trying to portrey? if dodge brings back the challenger, which i pray every night that they do, then it will be muscule car craze off the chain! i, myself hate fords, but they did sumthin right with the new look on the new mustang, sorry for anyone who disagrees!

Depends on what you like. If retro is your thing then your won't like the GTO, just like you stated. The current GTO builds on where the old GTO left off. If you take a look at the styling of the 70-73 Goat and look at its modern day counterpart you'll see this, but many don't. (If it doesn't look like the 65 forget-it.) Yes the styling is a little blan but the cars a sleeper for sure. I'm not saying that I don't like retro, I like both modern and retro designs. The new Challenger looks better than the old one IMO, but the Stang does not. I hope DC builds it too! I wouldn't mine having one parked next to the GTO.
And as far as being scared, the only stock mustang that I've come across thats beatin me at the track was the 02-03 Cobra.
