There is a pretty good review of the GTO and the Ford GT in the latest issues of R&T

Performance numbers:
GTO
0-60 5.3
1/4 13.8
slalom 63.4
lateral gs .81

Tests performed at 78 degrees F with 58 percent humidity and 150 ft elevation.

GT
0-60 3.8
1/4 12.2
slalom 69.5
lateral gs .99

68 F 970 ft 52percent.

I suggest you pick it up if you want to read the full reviews. Two points of my own: The GT performed great, but I see large gaps in the body panels already(maybe Im just seeing things, or over worrying, but I don't think this bodes well for fit and finnish reliability).
The GTO had ample rear room, especially with the bucket rear seats. Why the hell did they have to electronically limit it to 155 mph though? The car can do that in 5th gear, never actually going into 6th.
