the gto looks like poop, after they restyle it maybe they’ll sell some. now we got the charger comming in the mix too. But if someone wanted a 300 they’d buy one, the charger is almost identical. There was one design that was one of the finalists, the car was a 4 door but it had the look of a two door. it takes a lot to get a 4 door to look like a two door coupe. They woulda sold like crazy. ---

yes GM sucks and the stang will continue with sales leading. one of america’s favorite cars. now you want something will pull a high 13 to low 14 for around 26k. try a GEN III motor’d RCSB silverado/seirra. may not be the best for handling but they can take alot of ppl by surpise ---
