The GTO was discontinued in 2007 because GM couldn't get it to pass modern safety tests....so before going off on Ford for old-school mistakes, maybe you should share some hatred for GM for mistakes made less than 10 years ago?  |
Huh? That's the first I'm hearing of that one. And where do you think they put the gas tank in the camaro and mustangs? Oh yeah, it's right behind you. You gotta put it somewhere and that's about the best place for it.

I owned one as well and it was a known fact that they planned on it being a 3 year model from the beginning. The body style was already dated looking even in 2004. Also the gas tank is 2 feet into the trunk behind a metal cage. As far as I know there has never been a fire caused by being rear ended. The only fire I know of broke out in the engine bay.

I agree. Never heard of a GTO failing any sort of safety testing. In fact I believe it was up to par with the safest sedans on the market at the time.
