Three nice cars. Can I get an opinion on which I should get?

I own an '02 Chevy Blazer Xtreme. I'm thinking of upgrading for something more powerful. I know what I want, but not specifically what I want to own (if that makes any sense). I've narrowed it down to 3 cars.. A '02 Monte Carlo SS 200hp, 19-29mpg. A '03 Ford Mustang GT 260hp, 16-28mpg. And a '04 Pontiac GTO 350hp, 16-21mpg.

I love the mustang because, well just look at them, they're awesome. But i want power, like the GTO. But all around, the Monte Carlo is cheapest, best mileage (I drive 15 miles to work every day, so I'm at a minimum of 30 miles a day), but least power of all of them. I'm only 19 & I'm 6'3. The Monte Carlo has more space upfront, but the GTO has more in the back seat, which I sort of need because I'm going to put dual 12'' subs in. :)

But yeah. I'm not good with talking myself into things so could someone help give me a pointer or opinion or two on which i should get?
(I will most definitely be upgrading which ever one in the future as well, headers, chip, exhaust system, etc.)

Thanks.
 
I love HP, however the Monte will get you to work cheaper than the GTO, won't get stolen like the Mustang...

Truth is the Monte can get you up to 120 mph, no need to ever go faster than that, and will out excelerate most vehicles on the road...

And you will spend more time going back and forth to work, and cruising with the music on... than you ever will racing somebody...

If it were me... I would fix up the Blazer......
 
the ford will run longer. might not have as much power as the garbage truck but it'll last longer. stay away from anything with bowtie or associated with a bowtie. simple as that. and power ain't everything. it doesn't dertermine much. just because it's got more power don't mean it's fast or has more get up and go. a four and a quarter 3406B cat will out pull a 475 C15 and it's simple as that. and i can put a 383 magnum in a dart up against that garbage truck and fry it. it's power to weight not power that determines speed along with the gear ratio
 
The GTO - you asked this question before and I was going to suggest it but I told you to look for a restored 87 Monte.. I mean cause that would be sweet. I mean come on you are answering your own question by posting those HP figures. You know the front wheel drive Monte SS is really just an SS in name only.
