EVO MR or GTO 04

Dilemma, i've asked the guys at Socalevo and it's about a 50/50... Pontiac GTO because it has amazing deals, and it's a respectable car. I'm leaning towards the EVO MR more because i like the car more. Of course, i can afford both cars... it's just that I want the EVO more, but the GTO is like a deal i cannot pass up on... (we're talkng about 230/mo OTD 2 year lease, 0 Down .62% residual on a car that is 34k) That's like 3 to 4 times less than an EVO, but the GTO is not 3 to 4 times worse than an EVO.... you guys see mydilemma?

Yea i see whats goin on, i woulld go with the EVO MR of course , you dont want to buy a car just beacuse you got a good deal on it , then u would be stuck with a car you dont like as much.

I hope that's sarcasm you're spewing. If it isn't, you obviously need to trade in your MR for a GTO.

If you are going to keep it stock lease the GTO. If you plan to improve your performance in any category buy the MR.

If you really want the GTO, the I'd say lease the GTO for 2 years, then buy an Evo X or a Skyline in 2007

You can get an '04 GTO for @ 22/23k...why lease it? I would not buy it because it's a better deal if it's not what you want. But if you are into it, it's a hell of alot of car for the money. You could split the difference and get an 05 RS

If your looking for brute torque from the drop of a pedal then the gto is your machine. But if you want a vehicle that is well balanced and can either outperform or perform just aswe as HIGH end exotics then the EVO is something to consider.

I have a feeling your looking for a car to do burnouts, doughnuts and stoplight racing.

They are both very different. The gto is going to be more comfy but the evo will be more fun to drive. Don't just go for the better deal go for the car that you'll enjoy a year from now. If I was getting a gto I'de wait for the new one with 400 hp.
