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.

  GTO rocks - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By dmglobal - October 8 - 8:20 pm

  The 2005 Pontiac GTO is quite possibly the best built car ever offered by Pontiac--and a worthy successor to the GTO name. Its styling is understated yet aggressive, the fit and finish impeccable, and the performance shames sportscars twice the price. This stealth fighter packs a 400- horsepower 6-litre V8 (the Corvette LS2 married to a Tremec 6-speed)that rockets it from zero to sixty MPH in four and a half seconds. A thoroughly satisfying drive that handles and brakes as well as any domestic and many European sports cars. It leaves Ferraris, BMWs, Mustangs and Porsche Boxsters standing still. The best part is surprising exotic drivers who dont know what it is. The new GTO rocks!

  Nothing else like it - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By Bryan - September 18 - 3:33 pm

  For the price I paid just under $30,000 there is no other car like it. Better interior and seats than a Dodge Charger and Mustang GTO. Faster than both those cars and may be as fast or faster then my 2000 corvette. But still holds two 6.0 foot adults in the back seat unlike the 2005 mustang. Great car for traveling long distances.

  I just bought a 2005 GTO and have had it for about a week and it is great. I had a 1994 Z28 6spd. before this, and the GTO is more refined and considerably more powerful. This car is fun to drive, sold and begs to be flogged.

  Incredible Car! - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By Manimal - August 11 - 1:30 pm

  This car is a sleeper Mustang killer! Couldnt be happier with the 05 GTO! Every time I pass a Mustang (which is pretty much all the time) I cant help but smile. Mostly because my car simply powers by, but also because you dont see GTOs at every corner. I dont want to mod my car to separate it from the others (just search for Mustang mods and see how many returns you get). Sometimes subtle understated makes more of a statement. Loving my GTO!

  By Acosta - August 2 - 5:33 am

  I love the sound of the motor at start up, crusing on FL turpike, Racing it at the track in Gainsville FL against imports espicialy The STi, I always seam to beat them, unlike your fake review "STi vs GTO" I have guys in Miami FL pulling me over with STis to ask me about my GTO, one guy even traded his STi for a silver GTO 05. I love everything about it.

  All Performance - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By All Performance - July 4 - 11:03 pm

  If you pull up to this car at a red light dont be fooled, its gonna blow your doors off. Best performance car you can get for under 35,000. New 6.0 has that extra feel good punch. Fixed the exterior a little in 2005 with ram air hood and true dual exhuast. Great handling. Smooth ride for a coupe with a sport suspension.

  Sharp! - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By GaryL - June 27 - 8:20 pm

  Just picked up this 05 after test driving an 04. Impressive power and comfort all in one package. Exterior looks make it a deceptive speed predator at the traffic lights. Seat slowness does stink but not a big deal when all else adds up to an awesome vehicle build. Blue on Blue is a very sharp look for this vehicle. Looking forward to aftermarket tools for this great mid-life crisis requirement.

  Dont delay, get yours today! - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By PeterGTO - June 13 - 1:40 pm

  After years of driving compact cars or full size automatics, this GTO is a thing of beauty. Absolutely a blast to drive. The 6-speed shifter takes a little getting used to if you have never driven one before but other than the heavy clutch, it is very easy to drive even in rush-hour traffic. If you can afford one, get it! Only 12000 scheduled for 2005 model year.

  GTO to Go - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By H - June 1 - 10:06 pm

  I searched over 4 months for a new vehicle. Looking at Fords and Chevys. Heard bad reviews for the 2004 GTO. Waited for 2005 for improvements. Searched over a 100 mile radius to find the right dealership. Tested and enjoyed the performance. Same drivetrain as a corvette, for lower price plus it can hold two more people. Held out for the one color that would work. Cyclone Gray, which does not look like gray. Plus I wanted the Sport Appearance Package.

  Fast, Comfortable, Reliable. - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By ultraworld - April 19 - 9:58 pm

  I have owned my 05 GTO since new, It has a 6 spd man trans & 30k miles on it. I have changed the exhaust system, added a CAI and stereo. The car has not cost me a dime other than gas & oil changes. It has never been to the dealer for a repair, not once. I have had a bit of trouble making back tires last, its so much fun to drive. On the highway, its a pleasure to drive. Its very smooth and quiet, it gets 24mpg on the highway and about 15mpg in the city. I average about 17mpg in mostly city driving. These are the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in, they are both 8 way power adj. w/man lumbar adj. Theres a lot of rear seat room too, but its difficult to get in/out of.
