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.

  Great Car! - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By Blondegirl - September 8 - 3:43 pm

  I bought my GTO in October and I love it! It is a little tricky to drive in the snow, but some sandbags in the back helped that. The car looks great and runs fantastic! I would definitely recommend them!

  Pure American Muscle w/ a Plush Interior - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By Nick - August 23 - 4:26 am

  If you are looking for a car with great performance and a reasonable price tag, look no further. The 2005 GTO is nicely equipped with an LS2 400hp engine, and a very "plush" interior. It has the best of both worlds, Performance and Comfort. ...And the truth is that the GTOs naturally aspirated engine will smoke an 05 GT and keep up with an 04 Mustang Cobra!

  Awesome Car - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By Tracy - August 13 - 1:56 am

  I was always a big fan of the Mustang until I drove this car. What a dream and it looks really nice to. I have heard the comment, "It looks better in person." So if you havent gone to see it or test drive it, it is an absolute must. Great handling, pickup is DEFINITELY there when you need it. I wouldnt trade it for a Mustang ever. I absolutely love this car.

  performance bargain - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By challenger340 - August 10 - 8:56 pm

  Purchased my 05 Quicksilver GTO in May 2006 with 3200 miles for $25,000. I am really, really pleased with the performance, handling and comfort of this Austailian/Chevrolet/Pontiac automobile and am convinced that a car with similar qualites from Mercedes or BMW or Nissan (M45) or Chevtolet (Corvette or SSR)would cost upwards of $45,000.00 - $60,000.00. I belive that it compares very favorably with the SRT- 8 Charger and 300C SRT-8 which cost arouind $ 10,000 more and can out perform some even more expensove cars. Its a pretty unique and rare vehicle that not many people know about or want but in summary, to drive one is to have to buy one, buy one before theyre all gone, trust me.

  Beware of what Pontiac doesnt tell you! - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By Chris - August 5 - 2:46 pm

  If you like Toyota/Nissan or Honda DO NOT buy this vehicle. I had 3 problems with my GTO at only 1300 mies. One and two were with the LSD/Differential making a whining noise, plus when you shift it occasionally, it will make a knocking sound. Three, had to do with the clutch sticking a lot. The LSD/Diff problem apparentally has been around since the Camaro/Firebird days and now affects the GTO too. To have those problems with it at only 1300 miles and for the LSD/Diff problem to have been around in GM for over 10 yrs. It just shows to me that GM has a very poor quality control program. The end result is, I will never buy an American car again.

  a true sleeper muscle car - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By PJNLS2 - July 12 - 7:30 am

  All I can say is go test drive one and you will know all there is to know. Dont be afraid to get on it when test driving. This car dominates the road. I love when the imports pull up on what they think is some regular everyday car only to see the tail lights disappear into the night!!

  Nothing like it on the road today! - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By GTO48 - June 9 - 11:40 am

  This thing is bad to the bone! I have owned numerous "fast cars" Buick Grand Nationals, Mustang GT, as well as a 427 powered 67 Chevelle for old school muscle. Nothing comapres to my GTO. The fit and finish are outstanding for $30,000. Oh and did I mention 400 HP? Disappointments are few and far between... Small trunk space, slow seat movement for rear seat ingress. Who cares! I didnt buy it to haul stuff in the trunk or the back seat. Which by the way will fit a 6 foot tall passenger with ease once you do get the front seats out of the way. Pontiac hit a home run with this bad boy. If other car makers followed Pontiacs lead, Id need a bigger garage!

  The best Goat ever!!!! - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By amber - May 29 - 4:50 pm

  This car is the best Ive ever had (having had A LOT of cars)!! Its fun, fast, and couldnt ask for more. Getting a child into the back is not the greatest but hey, its not a family car!! The car makes the trouble worth it!! No issues yet. Interior is awesome!!

  Great Car - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By Bryce - May 17 - 9:26 pm

  This is by far better than my 04 vett. I am going to get rid of my BMW and Vett, this is two cars in one, for faction of the price. I was forced to rate Reliabilty, Ive only done 700 miles in it, so how can I rate this.

  Missed Opportunity - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By Brien - May 11 - 1:46 am

  If you like American muscle combined with sophisticated styling and handling, you should have purchased a new GTO. Ive had my manual six-speed for three years now and its been everything Id hoped. A bonus has been that I dont pass myself coming and going. The car is so rare that people often tell me mine is the first GTO theyve seen. Its been trouble free and its a kick to drive. I wouldnt sell mine but if you can find a used one, I recommend putting yourself in the drivers seat.
