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.

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.

GTO-O4 from AJ-2 - 2005 Pontiac GTO
By GTO-O4 from AJ-2 - January 21 - 6:33 amNothing like doing a 30 mph corner at 80. Had the 1st 64 GTO in Albany. 13 trophies at Glensfalls. Now have the 1st GTO in Littleton. So much more car! GM charcoal grey hood scoops and a black/red/black side accent stripe sets this yellow car off. Did not want yellow, but love it now. Im getting close to 20 mpg and still having fun. Got 26 on a trip using all the economy tricks with the Tremec and engine rpm. But too much fun to drive. The Aussies know how to build a car. Tight and stable. At 62, I would like to try the 1/4 with it in stock dress to see if I can better my 64 times. Anyway, a great road car.
