When looking at new car options I didn't know much about the GTO. I had guessed it was something akin to a Grand Am with a big engine dropped in. Upon test driving it was immediately clear that my preconceptions were completely wrong. More like a BMW 330 with a huge engine... No squeaks or rattles to speak of, tight fitting door and gaps, and of course neck-snapping performance (yes it's fast!). The first car I've ever loved - and you won't know it unless you drive one.

This is the best car I've ever owned. I sold my BMW 330i to get this car with no regrets. It's better than an M3. The quality of the interior, the power, handling (with some minor upgrades), and the ability to carry 4 adults in comfort. I've put 20K miles on my car in the last year. I still get over 23 mpg on the highway and put down over 440 HP at the rear wheels (with a few small mods). Plus, you don't see yourself at every stoplight unlike some other "performance" cars.

i've 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. it's 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.

I only want to say that I am 100% satisfied with my 2005 GTO 6.0 liter. I drove alot of performance cars but always came right back to the GTO. Many don't care for it and that's fine. Everyone is entitled to say what they want. I just plan LOVE my GTO.

I bought my 2005 GTO in March 06 . It had sat on the dealer's lot since the previous July. I got it for invoice plus $3500 cash back, plus $600 more than my trade in was worth. I had the intake, entire exhaust, sway bars, and shocks swapped out for high performance replacements, plus had the ECM modified to take out the 140mph governor. What a car!!! It will melt it's rear tires!! Great seats, excellent forward view. Of course, very fast. I had previously owned a beefed up '69 Road Runner (during the early '70's), and a supercharged '94 Camaro Z28 (during the '90's). This car beats them both, hands down. I'm glad it didn't sell well. The dummies don't know what they missed.
