Test Drive Tube / Pontiac

im not that good at the track so im getting slow times and still hitting mid 13s. so for anyone who is considering getting one, its way worth it. but do a six speed over automatic

i bought an 05 gto a few months back. i always wanted one so i did research and even after that it still impressed me. all my friends were sayin dont do it not worth it etc now they all drive it more than i. i got a friend who is a mustang nut. hes got an 09 gt and admits it (tho not in a good tone) that ill spank him any time. mine is a stock ls2 automatic and still got 13.5 1/4 mile while burning rubber all through first and part of second, its automatic and burns rubber in second going 50+.

they had the gto on top gear but as a holden manaro

dam australians. dont know shit bout muscle.

@mustang19ms 0-60 is all traction, this is an IRS car with nearly 400 lb/ft torque. The trap speed in the 1/4 is the real telling fact.

Its a shame that Pontiac made such a powerful, sporty car look like an ugly family sedan. The design of the newest GTO's reflect nothing sportier than a senior citizens bingo and grocery ride.

i own a 2004 gto with 130k miles, and this is the most reliable fast car i have ever had. No offense to import and euro car freaks, but you should never pass judgement on something you clearly know nothing about. The gto is SEVERELY underrated, and it is faster than what the media says. You guys really need to open your eyes and stop thinking that bmw/mercedes/audi/honda/toyota's are the only good cars out there. stop falling for the "monkey see monkey do" mentality. it's a GREAT car.

Yeah, most people can't drive these things for some reason. I've seen a bone stock 04 auto run a 13.1 and Budds creek (maryland) when they first came out. I asked him and he said it was stock and he just got it. I think they are a great all around muscle car that didn't get the credit it deserved. What makes it great is that everyone who owns one loves the thing. I might grab me a nice used one here in another year or two. I'm pushing 40 so it would be a great present for myself!

I have an 04. Yes, stock they are down on power to the 05-06's, but it does not take much to mod it to get to that level. I love my goat. I have almost 100k on mine and she has done just fine. I love driving a car that you just don't see many of. They were extremely underappreciated. The funny thing is, many who now own these cars had no real interest in them until they drove them once. I'm actually hoping to get another one (in addition tothis one) to garage and keep for show use.

GTO's are the most underrated car i think they haul ass and they drive nice

I just LOVE this car, but 5.5 seconds is a little slow for 400 HP don't you think? I had a car with 160 HP and it had 5.5 seconds to 60 MPH..

aerodynamics perhaps? i don't really know.

This Holden Monaro based car should had been released in 2003 as a replacement for the Firebird! The old GTO should return only with a good retro bodystyle - like the modern Mustang, and Camaro!

got an 06 GTO, Love it, the best car I have ever had. Got the Suspension problem fixed with the pedders kit, cold air intake from k/n. And just tonight put on the new snow tires for the winter months. My neighbor has a 07 mustang, the goat eats him up every time.

Very easily actually, a lot of M6 GTO's get more than that. I just hate how no review ever tells how fast the car actually is. It does 0-60 in about 4.8 seconds, and does a 1/4 mile in 12.8 if you know how to drive it.

how the hell can this car do 25 mpg on the highway

The GTO LS2 engine 0-60 is faster than5.5 seconds its more like 4.5 and quarter mile is 13.3. My father has a stock GTO and it is most definetly fast!

0-60 in 5.5? qaurter mile in 14? what is this idiot talking about? 05-06 GTO does 0-60 in 4.9, I myself as a novice driver ran my bone stock GTO to a 13.3

GT500 runs a 12.8-9 unless you put slicks on it

I found an 04 with 77K for $10K!! a great deal but im $750 short.... :(

that's one hell of a deal

In all fairness and actuality an exhaust (especially mufflers) done on any car really does little to nothing for performance. It's more of a audible mod. The GTO's stock fart cans actually are very very free flowing already.

if you knew what you were on about you'd know that bathurst does not prove anything. having said that holden have had more wins anyhow.

Oh yeah car and driver tested it 0-60 in 4.6 I don't know why these guys got a full second slower. Also the 1/4 in 13 seconds even.

GTOs are getting dirt cheap, but $7 a month difference between a focus and a GTO. Are you 60? Ls1 swap focus.
