I think for total pimped out stylie i'd go for the GTO, hands down. It's a beast and still looks good. But to be honest i wouldn't buy one unless it was a '97 model, the front had a face lift looks nicer.
The FTO is front wheel drive and doesn't have a lot of support in terms of aftermarket.
Whereas the GTO could be rip up the road with some tuning and a boost controller.
Hi Deacon...:wavey:... Totally agreed with yr opinion that GTO is beast that looks good & lots of after market performance parts...
BUT (just my point of view) GTO was my initial choice of purchase before i bought my FTO, my review for the is GTO's handling sucks big time even it's a 4WD due to it's weight(1.7tons), even it has 280hp but if calculate on power to weight ratio.....
.. Yes.. it's turbo charged, but it's a twin turbo...Turbo kicks in smoothly rather than hard core raw type. No doubt you can install after market boost controller to up boost.. But std injector only can manage 0.9bar, anything more than tat, you're asking for it. If you wanna boost higher, you need to change injectors, valve springs & retainers + piggybag or stand alone ECU & not to forget full exhaust system.If really wanna turn it into a beast, you need to convert it to single turbo only you feel the real kick. Further more, 3 liter engine drinks petrol like nobody business & costly road tax.. With that kinda of money spend, might as well you buy a FTO GPX 5 speed manual transmission, where the kerb weight is only 1.1tons with 200bhp std, dump in a super Galant 2.5cc 6A13 remain the Mivec top.. so you'll get 2.5Mivec..Alter the Mivec to kick in earlier + with a wet NOS kit, full exhaust system, piggybag/stand alone ECU which is capable of switching into a retard ignition mapping in cabin by flicking a switch + with a good set of suspension pair with some sticky rubbers & proper camber + toe settings.. can TAPAU a GTO in track anytime..FTO's handling anytime better than GTO. Just FYI, FTO have lots of after market performance goodies as well. Depends you know where to find it or not only. From what I know, only gear box ratio hard to find. Well,u can always calculate the gear ratio & goto a machine shop & ask them to custom the desire gearing for you. As for how to calculate gear ratio... just google it.. The method/calculation is all over the net. I'm not bias over FTO caused I own 1 b4. Just speaking on a neutral grd. If just wanna look good & play straight road only, of course GTO will be ideal but if you want good mid-range power & good handling during corners...a mod GTO doesn't even come close to a mod FTO due to it's chassis design resulting poor weight distribution. FTO also was once rated the best car of the year too.
As for me, no point just look good being a pretty boy, when test power kalah teruk.. Looks for me is secondary, handling & power in balance in my main priority. I'm sure u have come across tis phrase : " POWER IS NOTHING WITHOUT HANDLING " Like i said, just my point of view only... & i respect your opinion at all cause.
Cheers...
