I drive my brother's Bullitt and it's boring. My GTP never pulled the front end up because it had too much power, and it certainly didn't get to 60mph in 3 seconds.

When I'm driving 60 mph or more, I like my chances of surviving a crash in my GP better than a bike.

Good price, bad colors. Have to say when I see a car that is mostly red with some yellow it reminds me of McDonald's.

Aw, don't knock us four-doors! :p It's easier to haul stuff around back there, and you can get to it easier. Plus, you can kick people out of the car with just as much ease ..  Paintjob reminds me of ketchup .. and mustard. Together. BLECH. Hopefully the person that buys it also gets a new coat of paint put on it.

It's not the size of the wave, it's the motion in the ocean..... and besides, with four doors you can use the back doors for any necessary head beatings of ricers, and keep the front doors neat and dent-free.

yeah, that is a good call and the ricer beatings If I remember correctly though the back seat leg room in a 2 door is more than a 4 door by a couple inches, is that correct? It definatley pays to have a large "bedlike" back seat, especially if there is someone to put it to use with. I'm just givin ya guys a hard time anyways

And we can make the back doors into suicide doors.

It's harder to get the groceries out of the car with suicide doors.
