It doesnt look as mean as the 60's cars but it evolved into a modern day sports car. Not to mention 04-06 GTO's were the fastest and best handling GTO's made. I mean if the orignal GTO's were the best thing to own then why did they stop making them? They kept the F-body pretty much the same car since 1967. Crappy driving, fast but not very practical, Very mean looking, and look what happened to them.
When I had my Foxbody mustang after having it for a while I thought it looked and drove just like a For Tempo/Escort.

They weren't, and that's besides the point. The gas crisis and environmental laws killed off that entire era. It's not like the market just 'moved on'.
In the end the GTO was a rebadged Nova.
