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.

First step to building wealth - 2005 Pontiac GTO
By gtodude - August 27 - 6:49 pm05 GTO M6 I originally bought this car because I got tired of "fix-her-up" lemons and Ricky racers. What I didnt expect is to fall in love with it at first site. Im a gear head at heart and at time I forget to do work the car needs because I dont like to work on it. Not that its hard work or difficult,I just rather be driving. No car has made me feel this way up to now. But I assure you,soon enough I will do plenty of engine mods. For the money I really feel when it comes to used american muscle/sports cars that do everything "well". You really cant find a better car in market,Im sure of it.

Did not meet expectations - 2005 Pontiac GTO
By Ken - June 12 - 1:20 pmMaybe I was just blinded by the thought of a new vehicle but this car does not perform as expected. My Dodge SRT-4 is much faster than my six-speed GTO and cost over 10k less. The interior is the best I can say about this car. They should have put more into the engine.

Pro charged GTO - 2005 Pontiac GTO
By papacon60 - May 24 - 12:36 amSince I bought my GTO, I only drive it on nice days. This car has never seen a raindrop! I put on a pro-charger, 3" stainless exhaust, a GMM rip-shifter, and drag-bags to eliminate wheel hop. The car was dyno tested, and produces 512 rear wheel h.p. The only comments I have about my GTO, is that is is scary fast, and an absolute blast to drive.Not to mention, the fastest car on the street!

Daves comments - 2005 Pontiac GTO
By DBrian - May 15 - 9:36 pmMy 05 gto is a great car, light years ahead of my vintage muscle cars. Also a good perfomance value with muscle and acceptable mileage.

add to my other review - 2005 Pontiac GTO
By Doug - April 3 - 2:46 amReviewers complain of the small truck well that is our safety regulations which makes it ultra safe for rear end collisions. Also it has a larger tank at 18 gallons which takes up the trunk space.....the Australian version probably has a lot more room in the trunk. Also i got 27.5 mpg with a/c on a trip in the summer. the fuel mileage gage is off by 10% often when i check my mileage the old fashioned way.

05 GTO 18 in wheels 6 speed stock - 2005 Pontiac GTO
By doug - March 30 - 4:20 amreviews forget to add the 18 in wheel options with high performance tires. and the larger PBR brakes on the 05s. I have not seen a magazine review that actually tests one with the higher performance tires/wheels which is certain to improve handling!! Get one before they are gone. The design is a sleeper and mercedes like styling to be a later classic.

By 05 gto - March 27 - 5:06 pmlove the car , definitely a wolf in sheeps clothing , the power is strong from idle to 6500 rpm. gm should take note of the superior interior quality of this car. would recommend a better shifter, and a little stiffer suspension, power lock button on console, and homelink. otherwise a 10

Hey GT500KR, bring it on! - 2005 Pontiac GTO
By fmartin - March 3 - 7:03 pmBought new in 05, 19,000 miles now. Dealership was excellent to work with. Service is by different dealer, also excellent experience. No service issues at all, this car is very dependable. Had cam, headers, torque converter, cold air intake and some other upgrades done. Total investment < $38k. Quicker than cars twice the price. I like the non-retro look, its a Lion in a Lamb suit. I get thumbs up from all other high performance drivers... Vettes, Mustangs, Chargers, BMW M5s, etc. It surprises all of them. The car is a blast to drive on the street or on the track. An awesome package.

A+++ - 2005 Pontiac GTO
By Tony - February 16 - 3:53 amI have an 04 GTO instead of the 05 and I love it, definitely my favorite car, well worth trading my camaro Z28 for. I wish they would of had the LS2 in the 04.
