Overview & Reviews

The 2005 Pontiac GTO receives a new engine -- the 6.0-liter LS2 V8. The new V8 produces 400 horsepower, up from 350, and 395 lb-ft of torque, up from 365. More rumble comes from a new split dual-exhaust system, and new exterior options include two new colors and an available hood scoop.

• Powerful V8, rear-wheel drive, tight build quality, loaded with standard features.

• Forgettable styling, handling should be a bit sharper, no sunroof or navigation system available.

  stunner from down under - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By largeadam - March 25 - 5:10 am

  So, i am English with a penchant for American Cars; Compared the G35, the charger and the stang...clear winner was my new GTO. the g35 was average, well appointed but did not make me grin. the charger was made a nice noise, but i really wanted a stick (Duh!) the stang was a dissapointment; same money-ish but not a real contender. consider this....my GTO has a super sound system....but i still have not turned it on, i just drop the windows and listen...my wife has never seen me grin like the chesire cat from alice in wonderland....get on !!

  GTO 2004 - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By cjvanho - March 15 - 4:03 am

  I found a few details in the body that seemed shoddy or badly painted. Aftermarket parts that were installed by Dealership really dont match paint from factory. The Mirrors have serious problems they have blind spots and are not either big enough or they are placed wrong. The car has some HP however its missing midrange torque.

  Fast, Fun and Beautiful 2005 GTO - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By Fast Fun and Quality - February 3 - 1:33 am

  After my first test drive in this GTO I knew it was going to be mine. I have owned the GTO for approximately 1 year and still cant wait to drive it. With a small investment including a chip, exhaust and intake, this car has truly become a beast. You can drive the GTO to work on a daily basis with no mechanical issues. Caution: all vehicles on the roadway think of the 6.0 GTO as a threat and will attempt to race you, Ferrari, Porsche, Mustang, SRT-8. I get questions about this car at every service shop. If you purchase a GTO be prepared to love your ride, it is a fun beautiful car.

  Solid Car, Well Built, Excellent Quality - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By GoatFink - January 28 - 6:10 pm

  Fast, fun to drive, nice comfy interior and still outsmokes a Mustang GT with 1 or 4 occupants. 0-60 is at 4.6 seconds and you wont find that in a Mustang in 2005. Its unique, not many on the road and looks like a Euro sports car rather than an American Boy racer machine. It is not an embarassing car to drive that requires striping, etc to be arrogant or flamboyant and the engine roars just to let you know who is boss.

  Dennys 05 GTO - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By dburger66 - November 22 - 7:20 pm

  I have had the car for a little under 2 months now and have had no major problems. There is on fit/finish issue with the interior and the controls for the A/C seem really cheap for a car costing almost $35,000. The only other complaint would be ingress/egress to the rear seats, once your back there it is really comfortable, the hard part is getting into the back to begin with. Also, the power seats work great but they move REALLY slow. Also a compass/temp display in the rearview mirror would be nice, I had an 03 Vue that had one and it cost $10,000. less than my GTO.

  My Gto - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By kc - November 20 - 6:53 pm

  I absolutely love this car. The exterior design grows on you, and the interior is beautiful. Drive this car after you drive any mustang, and you will beg for the extra 5 grand you need to buy it. What a value, a 400 hp crovette engine, in a sleeper 4 person coupe for just over 30 grand... or just under if you play your cards right!

  Wow - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By TALL PAUL - November 5 - 11:10 am

  Not since my 1968 GTO & 1970 muscle cars has driving an affordably priced vehicle been so much fun. Only enhancement wish would be if it were available as a convertible. Stereo speakers/amplifiers could use an upgrade but otherwise this car is so comfortable, even for a tall & big guy that the only other dream wish would be to drive my new "muscle car" on Germanys Autoban.

  lovin it - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By tyler - October 30 - 11:06 am

  I bought mine about 4 months ago and i love it. i had it supercharged about a month ago so now i have 560 hp and 530 ft lbs of torque. I was blowing the doors off of mustangs right out of the box, but now... i like virtually everything about the car except the shifter as everyone has said and the handling is just a little bit too soft. other than that its an awesome muscle car that can be tuned to beat anything for very little money. you need to get one... quick

  GReat performance great car - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By David - September 14 - 6:13 am

  The GTO is a great car for a driver who likes to be comfortable, likes driving fast and doesnt care on getting the highest quality interior. If there was a short coming on this car, the crumby interior would have to be it
