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.

  The GTO is a fun car to drive. It is an everyday car with a very comfortable interior design. With the 6.0, you do not lack performance.

  not bad at all - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By simon - August 15 - 2:10 am

  i bought the 2004 with incentives and im glad i did , very tightly built , smooth acceleration, love listening to that deep exhaust when just cruising at like 70 , you get to 70 so fast you dont even realize it. if you want a real quick american v8for 34000 you cant beat it . not many cars faster in this price range or less and the interior seats are flawless , you get macnine pedals , you get the whole race car feel and still room in the bac seat for 2 more people , yes unlike the mustang there is room there .

  The best GTO ever !!! - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By GTO by Ben - July 24 - 3:50 am

  I had a 1966 and 1968 GTO from the same dealer I got my 2005 Midnight Blue GTO Cant believe the sound and power from the LS2 400hp engine.Very comfortable ride and did I mention the POWER. Great sounding radio system,love the six-disc cd changer. I agree that it looks so much better in person.

  Awesome!!!!! - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By Metro - July 15 - 2:00 pm

  I had a 99 Mustang Cobra for 2 years & it was great! (320 HP) The GTO puts that to SHAME! yesterday the police called & said I had cows out, I hopped on the freeway & was running 130mph in 4th gear & it wasnt red lined! (still had 5th & 6th to go but traffic was too heavy) The cobra would red line at 128mph in 4th & it was only a five speed! It didnt even have overdrive, 5th gear was a 1:1 ratio. This is the strongest and fastest car I have ever been in! I bought it on 3-13-09 & the original owner was 75 & it only had 16500 miles on it. If you find one that aint ragged out, you will love it! & you cant beat the price for the 400HP!

  Lemon - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By cyclops24 - June 26 - 1:50 am

  I love my GTO. Unfortunately I got a lemon. Leaking head gasket, fuel injector wiring harness failure, numerous exhaust leaks and my biggest issue, paint flaws through and etching. I have been without my car for a total of 52 days in less than one years time. Currently in the process of lemon law.

  Great Performance Car - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By John Fischer - May 26 - 1:03 am

  This is the best new car Ive ever bought. No issues to date, and its 7 months old. This car is a blast to drive, and puts a grin on my face every time I start it up. I know the car has been blasted by critics for its looks, but I think the 2005-06 models look great. Sometimes its nice to be driving a sleeper :)

  WOW - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By Goldenrod - April 3 - 9:43 am

  Waited for the 6.0. well worth the wait.Looks better than the 04. I sell GM products. Compared to vette both great cars but for the money I preferred the GTO, 4 seats smoother ride.Very powerful car with great handling. Australian car with american Drive Train works very well.The only complaint I have is that the Key is too big. You Gotta Drive One!!!!!

  Lots of power, lack of quality - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By germie - February 24 - 4:16 pm

  I really like my GTO. It has lots of power and it sounds great in my ears even with the stock exhaust. I didnt make any modifications to mine, everything is stock. The only technical issues I had so far were a water pump replacement at 40k, engine temp gauge problem (electronic part had to be replaced) at 16k. Looks like I got lucky compared to most of GTO owners. A downside is the poor quality of the car. The shifter is wobbly and not precise, the seam on the rear driver side seat is opening up and about to burst open (nobody ever sits on that seat), the paint on the driverside doorhandle is chipping off (pass. side handle had to be repainted already).
