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.

  Sweet Car - 2005 Pontiac GTO

  This car is the most fun Ive ever had on 4 wheels. I love speed and this car delivers. It has plenty of power and I think it handles great for the size and weight of the vehicle. My friends all love it as well. I recommend this car to anyone who loves raw horsepower.

  The fit and finish on this car is great. The best Ive seen on a GM product. The LS2 engine is a dream come true, 400hp right off the lot, and it was $25,000 to $30,000 cheaper than a Corvette. The suspension reminds me of a Bonneville or Park Avenue (to soft). I had Hotchkiss sway bars installed front and rear, plus JBA headers, Borla exhaust, and a K&N intake. This car is performance bargain!

  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!

  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!!!!!

  By Tony - February 19 - 12:03 pm

  I just traded My CTS for this car and let me tell you this car is great, the power is incredible for $32K, the interior is very comfortable front and rear and the rear AC Vents are great, I also Have an 05 G35 and I gave that one to my wife in order to get this one for me.

  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.
