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 exceeds the mark - 2005 Pontiac GTO
By bfargin - January 6 - 4:33 pmWell, 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 amFor 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 pmThis 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 reliable Muscle Car built to last - 2005 Pontiac GTO
By Goat-a-roo - August 7 - 7:56 amIve 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 amI 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.

GTO - Outstanding value & performance - 2005 Pontiac GTO
By Dave McCloskey - March 24 - 5:30 amThe press has hammered the GTO design from day one. Personally I dont think they get it. In my opinion the GTO exudes American muscle and the same time has an understated Euro look that will hold its visual appeal well into the future. The fact the car is made by Holden in Australia only adds to its value and appeal. The GTOs fit and finish is far better than its American competitors (Mustang GT, Charger) and is equal to Japanese sports coupes I have driven in this price range. Performance on the other hand is no contest. This car will get it done!

Awesome car! - 2005 Pontiac GTO
By JohnnyGTO - March 10 - 12:03 amIve had my 2005 GTO for almost two months now and added on almost 6000 miles. I have owned two Corvettes, Trans Am WS6, 2002 Camaro SS, and other American Muscle. This car has, by far, been the best of the bunch. The build quality isnt like any other GM car. The car is extremely powerful, but has a lot of weight to tug around. The styling could be a bit more aggressive but its a style you love after being around it and seeing it in person daily. I certainly have plans for it... just need to wait for a Twin Screw for the GTO. =)

GTO the way to go. - 2005 Pontiac GTO
By Delton - February 7 - 9:36 amI have had this GTO for about 7 months and I drive it daily. It is still a joy to drive. I cant say that for a lot of vehicles I bought that became stale afterwards.
