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.

  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"

  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.

  stunner from down under - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By largeadam - March 25 - 5:10 am

  So, i am English with a penchant for American Cars; Compared the G35, the charger and the stang...clear winner was my new GTO. the g35 was average, well appointed but did not make me grin. the charger was made a nice noise, but i really wanted a stick (Duh!) the stang was a dissapointment; same money-ish but not a real contender. consider this....my GTO has a super sound system....but i still have not turned it on, i just drop the windows and listen...my wife has never seen me grin like the chesire cat from alice in wonderland....get on !!

  Fast, Fun and Beautiful 2005 GTO - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By Fast Fun and Quality - February 3 - 1:33 am

  After my first test drive in this GTO I knew it was going to be mine. I have owned the GTO for approximately 1 year and still cant wait to drive it. With a small investment including a chip, exhaust and intake, this car has truly become a beast. You can drive the GTO to work on a daily basis with no mechanical issues. Caution: all vehicles on the roadway think of the 6.0 GTO as a threat and will attempt to race you, Ferrari, Porsche, Mustang, SRT-8. I get questions about this car at every service shop. If you purchase a GTO be prepared to love your ride, it is a fun beautiful car.

  Solid Car, Well Built, Excellent Quality - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By GoatFink - January 28 - 6:10 pm

  Fast, fun to drive, nice comfy interior and still outsmokes a Mustang GT with 1 or 4 occupants. 0-60 is at 4.6 seconds and you wont find that in a Mustang in 2005. Its unique, not many on the road and looks like a Euro sports car rather than an American Boy racer machine. It is not an embarassing car to drive that requires striping, etc to be arrogant or flamboyant and the engine roars just to let you know who is boss.

  My Gto - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By kc - November 20 - 6:53 pm

  I absolutely love this car. The exterior design grows on you, and the interior is beautiful. Drive this car after you drive any mustang, and you will beg for the extra 5 grand you need to buy it. What a value, a 400 hp crovette engine, in a sleeper 4 person coupe for just over 30 grand... or just under if you play your cards right!

  Wow - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By TALL PAUL - November 5 - 11:10 am

  Not since my 1968 GTO & 1970 muscle cars has driving an affordably priced vehicle been so much fun. Only enhancement wish would be if it were available as a convertible. Stereo speakers/amplifiers could use an upgrade but otherwise this car is so comfortable, even for a tall & big guy that the only other dream wish would be to drive my new "muscle car" on Germanys Autoban.

  lovin it - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By tyler - October 30 - 11:06 am

  I bought mine about 4 months ago and i love it. i had it supercharged about a month ago so now i have 560 hp and 530 ft lbs of torque. I was blowing the doors off of mustangs right out of the box, but now... i like virtually everything about the car except the shifter as everyone has said and the handling is just a little bit too soft. other than that its an awesome muscle car that can be tuned to beat anything for very little money. you need to get one... quick
