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.

  Incredible Car! - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By Manimal - August 11 - 1:30 pm

  This car is a sleeper Mustang killer! Couldnt be happier with the 05 GTO! Every time I pass a Mustang (which is pretty much all the time) I cant help but smile. Mostly because my car simply powers by, but also because you dont see GTOs at every corner. I dont want to mod my car to separate it from the others (just search for Mustang mods and see how many returns you get). Sometimes subtle understated makes more of a statement. Loving my GTO!

  By Acosta - August 2 - 5:33 am

  I love the sound of the motor at start up, crusing on FL turpike, Racing it at the track in Gainsville FL against imports espicialy The STi, I always seam to beat them, unlike your fake review "STi vs GTO" I have guys in Miami FL pulling me over with STis to ask me about my GTO, one guy even traded his STi for a silver GTO 05. I love everything about it.

  All Performance - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By All Performance - July 4 - 11:03 pm

  If you pull up to this car at a red light dont be fooled, its gonna blow your doors off. Best performance car you can get for under 35,000. New 6.0 has that extra feel good punch. Fixed the exterior a little in 2005 with ram air hood and true dual exhuast. Great handling. Smooth ride for a coupe with a sport suspension.

  Dont delay, get yours today! - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By PeterGTO - June 13 - 1:40 pm

  After years of driving compact cars or full size automatics, this GTO is a thing of beauty. Absolutely a blast to drive. The 6-speed shifter takes a little getting used to if you have never driven one before but other than the heavy clutch, it is very easy to drive even in rush-hour traffic. If you can afford one, get it! Only 12000 scheduled for 2005 model year.

  Fast, Comfortable, Reliable. - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By ultraworld - April 19 - 9:58 pm

  I have owned my 05 GTO since new, It has a 6 spd man trans & 30k miles on it. I have changed the exhaust system, added a CAI and stereo. The car has not cost me a dime other than gas & oil changes. It has never been to the dealer for a repair, not once. I have had a bit of trouble making back tires last, its so much fun to drive. On the highway, its a pleasure to drive. Its very smooth and quiet, it gets 24mpg on the highway and about 15mpg in the city. I average about 17mpg in mostly city driving. These are the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in, they are both 8 way power adj. w/man lumbar adj. Theres a lot of rear seat room too, but its difficult to get in/out of.

  Best Performance Sports Coupe Available! - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By DJ - April 13 - 11:46 am

  Overall the 0-60 time of 4.6 seconds (Ive gotten it to 60 in 4.3 seconds) and the amazing rush of performance every time I step on the gas makes this car an absolute dream! If you want big horsepower, big torque and a big engine then this is the car for you. The interior is extra comfortable (I could sleep in those seats) and the sound that comes from those huge tail pipes is a delight. Handling A+, Ride A+, Performance A+, what more do you want? This is at another level than what its often compared to, like the Mustang. Dont get me wrong, I like Mustangs (traded in a 2002 Mustang GT for my GTO) but this car is just at another level. Its the best way to get a Vette and save $15,000!

  Blue GTO - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By bluegto - April 9 - 2:26 am

  This car is by far the best bang for your buck. It has a screaming 400 horse power V8 thats dripping in raw power. It has all the luxuries of a modern sports car with the feel and power of an old school muscle car. This is by far one of the best modern day muscle cars on the market.

  GTO - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By Jess - January 5 - 12:06 pm

  This is the best car I have ever owned. It is super fast but costs only a fraction of many other muscle cars (i.e.: Cobra Mustang, Corvette, Viper). The gas mileage isnt as bad as I had originally expected. This is a fun, fast, reliable car that you can easily get used for under $27k or new for under $35k.

  Awesome! - 2005 Pontiac GTO
  By DAM - August 15 - 6:50 am

  This is just an all around amazing car. As much power as any ordinary driver would need. The interior is extremely comfortable and there really IS room for 2 adults in the back, though getting back is the difficult part. I gave fuel economy less than 10 simply because I havent been able to reach the numbers advertised (perhaps totally my fault). But you dont buy this car looking for fuel economy. Oh and Boo automatic, Yay 6-speed.
