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.

  Love this car - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By speedy goat - August 3 - 1:33 am

  This car is incredible! For the money that I spent; the performance, build quality, and interior amenities - WOW. This is NOT a replacement for the old F Bodies. This is what they should have been. I would definitely recommend this car.

  Absolutely Impressive!!! - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By MrMcCaff - July 10 - 7:33 am

  From the second that i test drove my GTO at the dealership, Ive been in love with it. In the past two years, Ive owned a 1998 Trans Am and a C5 Corvette and those are both great cars but I truly think that the overall package of the GTO is better. The quality of the GTO is amazing, I feel like Im riding in a high end BMW. This car is the perfect combination of style and performance.

  Plain Jane. NOT!!! - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By Vinnie C. - April 24 - 5:20 pm

  Ive owned Pontiacs, real Pontiacs, my 1st was a 69 gp. Had a lot of fun in that car at 18 yrs old. Now at 37 yrs old Im having more fun driving than ever before. The look might be plain Jane but the performance is not. Besides the original gto was an ordinary tempest with a 389 engine, not flashy just powerful. Ive driven lots of "performance" cars & this car performs with the best of them all for a $33k out the door price. I miss those old Pontiacs but I wouldnt trade this new one for one of them. They never got 24 mpg hwy with the a/c on at 75 mph, & not to many of them didnt overheat with the a/c on. Dont forget the 400 hp 6.0 that sends the car down the track at about 13.1sec. Awesome car!

  05 GOAT - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By 05 GOAT - March 22 - 5:36 am

  I remember getting a sneak peek at the "new" 1964 GTO back in the fall of 1963 at the local Pontiac Dealer with my dad. That was thrilling as a 12 year kid. The car was kind of plain but the first thing the dealer talked about was the "389" motor. This 2005 makes me think back to that experience the car, while attractive enough, does not get by on its looks ... its that 6.0 liter 400 HP engine. Having owned many cars from early Z-28 (1968), Corvette, 400 CI Firebird, Tuubo-Coupe Thunderbird, three 5.0 Mustangs (still have 2), that are considered performance cars this may be the best balance. Bought as a GM Certified Used car so far so good. Im over 64" & car is roomy for 2 adults.

  the truth - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By Tommy DeGrange - March 12 - 2:03 pm

  the car is a fun drive. it couls use a little styling help for the 06 model year. but as for the performance and handling the car meets all my expectations. all in all a good car. has a small problem with tires (i wore off the factory tires in only 30k with very little burn out action)

  Its a great car - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By Brian Faust - February 29 - 2:20 pm

  I test drove the new GT Mustangs then decided to give the GTO a shot. Wow.. what a car. The quality of workmanship from the quality paint job to the stitching on the shifter boot and all points in between makes this a superior vehicle. The suspension is tight and handling on windy back roads is excellant. You will feel any rough conditions due to the stiff suspension. Breaking distance is good and acceleration through the gears is awsome. The Blaupunkt sound system is is top notch. The only negatives I have are the wheels are just so so..Im definately going to upgrade them and the trunk space is tiny-- golf clubs bearly fit.

  Perfect to Me - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By Shanes Silver GTO - February 27 - 12:36 am

  I only want to say that I am 100% satisfied with my 2005 GTO 6.0 liter. I drove alot of performance cars but always came right back to the GTO. Many dont care for it and thats fine. Everyone is entitled to say what they want. I just plan LOVE my GTO.

  GTO a GO! - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By FatheadCrash - January 19 - 5:10 am

  My experience with my 05 GTO is one word... AMAZING!!! it is the most fun car I could of ever hoped to own. I am the envy and focal point of the road wherever I go. A stock 400 hp and trq... oh yea... a 6.0 pushrod... 30 lbs lighter than a mustang GTs 4.6... it isnt even a side by side comparison. its faster than the new challenger SRT8, charger, and keeps up with a shelby gt 500 for half the price.the exterior styling is captivating, the interior sporty, comfortable, and bold. the original muscle car was a gto... and the legend lives on!
