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.

  2005 GTO - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By Roger - January 18 - 5:20 pm

  The most enjoyable car Ive ever owned. I had muscle cars in the 60s but this is a far stronger machine with the LS2 and 6 speed. I like the fact that the new GTO is rare - not many around (GM probably doesnt think this is a positive). All that and reasonable gas mileage to boot.

  GTO rating - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By Wyatt Smith - January 7 - 6:26 am

  The GTO has strong acceleration and is a well balanced vehicle. Steering is nutural and the seats are supportive during spirited driving. The traction control system was inoperative when the vehicle was delivered. Took a week to repair.

  I love my goat - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By Ron - October 24 - 2:30 pm

  I was in the market for a G35 initially, but the performance, style & relative rarity of the GTO was a combination that was hard to beat. I have the red on red M6 with chopped mufflers. I cant tell you how many compliments on the car I have gotten. Shes great on long trips as well.

  Great GTO - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By pwrdbypntiac - July 15 - 1:56 pm

  The 2005 GTO is a great car. I work for GM so I fully looked over the car before hand. The panel to panel fit and paint are excellent, no squeaks and rattles, or wind noise. Very beautiful interior with a handsome understated exterior. I get complimenets and many people asking me about this car wherever I go. Today a guy with an old GTO complimented me on my GTO...then i smoked him

  Fun in 2k5 - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By Dave - June 3 - 11:30 am

  The 2005 GTO has finally started to take note of the people hollering about appearance items. I really like the scoops and the split tail pipes. A lot of what they did to the 2005 was available on the 2004 model but as dealer installed options making the cost go up greatly. This year they added these as standard. There are still some dealer available options that really dress up the car, these should be looked into for the fun loving GTO freak in all of us.

  You wont regret it! - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By GMinTheDriveway - April 30 - 3:23 pm

  This is not your fathers GTO. This is a modern muscle machine - a 2+2 Corvette with an added stealth advantage. Some criticize the so- called "jellybean" styling, but inside and out this is a beautiful car with power to spare. The clutch is pretty heavy for stop&go driving, but the 400 lb/ft of torque allow you to simply ease out the clutch without touching the gas. Go ahead, it wont stall like a gutless high-revving VTEC. This is pure adrenaline in a sophisticated touring package. In the words of Ferris Bueller "it is so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend you pick one up"

  Better then you think. - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By Chrono Avenger - April 27 - 8:56 am

  My last driver was a 2002 BMW M3. Is this car as good, NO. But it is 95% as good for 55%(price I paid). This car is the most fun to drive that $32,000 will buy. Handling is about 85% of the M3, but that BMW is the best right?? The ride is better then the M3 and the fit is almost as good. The seats are the best of any GM car. This is a classic GT car, big, heavy, and very fast. If your think that heaven is going around little cones in a parking lot this is not you car. If you like going for one state to the next in comfort, on real roads, not race tracks, in record times (432 mi. in 4hrs and 36mins.) under the radar. This is your car.

  GTO is AWESOME! - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By fitty - April 26 - 5:03 pm

  I was in the market for a new Mustang but could never find a black on black and all of the dealerships I went to were very unfriendly. I then decided to pursue a corvette and ran into the same problem so I got online and searched many different sports cars from $30k-$50 and found that my GTO was the best buy for the performance. $34k is not a bad price for a 400 horse power car.

  By bluebyu05 - April 23 - 6:30 pm

  ive had my gto since july 05 and drive it on weekends and every time i take it out i get more and more impressed with the performance , handling and comfort. its basically a corvette that you can fit 4 people in comfortably . not to mention with the amount of hp 400 the gas miles is better than the mustang which has 300hp. its really a fun car to drive.
