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 Review - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By gtolvr - January 21 - 10:16 pm

  Interior is wrapped in enough leather to confuse you into thinking youre in a luxury vehicle not a muscle car. Performance and handling are superb. This is one of the best vehicles pontiac has every put out.

  GTO exceeds the mark - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By bfargin - January 6 - 4:33 pm

  Well, after owning this fine automobile for several months I thought I would share my feelings. Wow, what a car. The build quality is excellent, it feels more like a european luxury car than a typical GM econobox. I realize it costs close to 30K but I still think you are getting tons of quality for the money. I like the interior better than I like the new MB E350 or CLK350. Handling is great for the size and weight involved. After all it is a performance luxury coupe and not a bareboned racecar and yet still puts up great skidpad numbers. For the money you wont find better performance in a new car. For right at 30K dollars you get a 400 hp engine that will pin you to the seat back.

  Best car Ive owned - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By 75bluejs - December 15 - 6:30 am

  For those who are looking for world class speed without paying the exotic price, then look no further. Its just amazing that GM put a 400hp Corvette engine in this vehicle and is selling it for under 35K. Interior, and overall build quality is the best Ive seen in a GM vehicle. It even seats four adults in great comfort!

  A classic already - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By scott fuller - November 28 - 7:23 pm

  This car is amazing. It is fast, easy to drive, handles great and looks terrific. Lets hope GM keeps the GTO as long as it is worthy of the name. Too often it kills off cars too soon and never allows any brand or model loyalty to develop. This is one car that lives up to its name. It is a true classic right now. Great value for the money. Six speeds, true dual exhausts, classic sound, neck snapping acceleration. I love it !

  A white knuckle experience! - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By Robert Spinden - November 6 - 2:40 am

  This car is nothing but amazing! With its 400 horses under the hood waiting to go it deffinately has some "get up and go." The best part about the car is nobody has one! Ive never seen on the road. Its a sleeper, nobody knows whats under the hood. People point at red lights and ask you about it at the gas station. They recommend premium, so it can be a spendy trip! My buddy had his 2005 GTO up to 156 mph and he said it was still climbing. It handles great around the corners, and is truely a great ride! Dont buy one! So there are less GTOs out there for people to drool on!!!

  A reliable Muscle Car built to last - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By Goat-a-roo - August 7 - 7:56 am

  Ive had my Goat (or ROO since it was built in Australia!) for 20 months now. In that time I have put 40,000 miles on it. (I know! Its a LOT but Im in sales & I like to travel). Its amazingly easy to rack on miles in this car because it is SO much fun to drive! The car is built SO STRONG!! Not a single rattle or anything at 53K. And she kicks the tires just as she did the day I brought er home. It is important to note that the reliability of the GTO is fantastic. I have had ZERO[0] problems. It always starts even in the coldest of winter. I cant recommend this car enough. Pure muscle & torque. And I average 25 MPG on the highway in a muscle car!!!! (long trips). Dead serious!

  The best "Mothers Day" present ever! - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By mosquito2376 - April 30 - 3:03 am

  I traded in my 1994 GMC Safari, for this beautiful machine during Mothers Day weekend this May. I love its acceleration, handling and sound. The interior is comfortable, my kids can actually look out the side windows and not just see a "seat" in front of them as they do when they ride in my husbands 1998 Z28 Camaro. Buy a 6 speed, I test drove a used 2004 with an automatic and it just made me hungry for more. What a beautiful classy car that definately can compete with the BMWs and Mercedes on the road today. "Sleeper" is the best word to describe this car, Ive had many a young fellow pull up thinking they had the "guts" to beat me and I left them in the dust everytime.
