All Performance
If you pull up to this car at a red light don't be fooled, it's 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.
Great Performance Car
This is the best new car I've ever bought. No issues to date, and it's 7 months old. This car is a blast to drive, and puts a grin on my face every time I start it up. I know the car has been blasted by critics for its looks, but I think the 2005-06 models look great. Sometimes it's nice to be driving a sleeper :)

Best Performance Sports Coupe Available!
Overall the 0-60 time of 4.6 seconds (I've 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 it's often compared to, like the Mustang. Don't get me wrong, I like Mustangs (traded in a 2002 Mustang GT for my GTO) but this car is just at another level. It's the best way to get a Vette and save $15,000!
amazing
my car is the best car i have ever bought. i love my car. i would never trade it for another car. this car is smooth looking and gtes up and goes. it a great car for the price.
They got it right this time!
Great fun to drive. If you don't need all the cushy stuff and just want the muscle, you can't go wrong with the GTO. Be ready to pay lots more for comparable performance from other makes. Plenty of power and handles superbly. I traded an '04 for an '05. Hood scoops and rear-end redesign is a great style improvement over the '04. More powerful engine and much improved brakes make this one better live up to the GTO name. Minor problems with shifter sticking or not catching (in reverse). Idle pulley seized within the first 30 miles. Accelerator sensor malfunction at 300 miles. Electronic throttle takes some getting used to. Parts still not readily available for repairs.
