No offense intended to you, I mean to each his/her own, but I have driven both cars and I would much rather have an MX-6 than a Probe.
To me the Probe felt heavy and non-communicative, where as the MX-6(es) I drove felt quite refined, light and svelte.

Default Gto

Hey copierman - I had a '64 GTO back in the day. Bought it new off the showroom floor. Red hardtop convertible with black interior. Three two-barrels, close ratio gearbox, hurst shifter, hd suspension package. Straight line performance would make your ears bleed but it drove like a truck. Handling was miserable. Was newly married and my wife refused to drive it. Couldn't decide if GTO stood for "Gas Tires and Oil" or "Great Thirsty Ox". Kept it for two years and honestly was happy to trade it in on a '67 Mustang that I have much better memories about.

8 miles to the Gallon was a good day with my 73 Cougar, but when I put the slicks on it it turned into an 11 second car, but I had a lot more fun racing the Ferrari's and Lamborghini's on the twisties. Something about a 505 HP Cleveland with almost 600 Foot Pounds of Torque made the uphill racing more in my favor
