If you like American muscle combined with sophisticated styling and handling, you should have purchased a new GTO. I've had my manual six-speed for three years now and it's been everything I'd hoped. A bonus has been that I don't pass myself coming and going. The car is so rare that people often tell me mine is the first GTO they've seen. It's been trouble free and it's a kick to drive. I wouldn't sell mine but if you can find a used one, I recommend putting yourself in the driver's seat.
A reliable Muscle Car built to last

I've had my Goat (or ROO since it was built in Australia!) for 20 months now. In that time I have put 40,000 miles on it. (I know! It's a LOT but I'm in sales & I like to travel). It's amazingly easy to rack on miles in this car because it is SO much fun to drive! The car is built SO STRONG!! Not a single rattle or anything at 53K. And she kicks the tires just as she did the day I brought 'er home. It is important to note that the reliability of the GTO is fantastic. I have had ZERO[0] problems. It always starts even in the coldest of winter. I can't recommend this car enough. Pure muscle & torque. And I average 25 MPG on the highway in a muscle car!!!! (long trips). Dead serious!

I've owned my 2005 GTO since new and have put 52,000 miles on it. The sole problem I've had is a leaking clutch slave cylinder. It's always been garaged and rarely driven in bad weather so I've had no problems with the interior leather or exterior paint. The car still looks new. I still enjoy driving it as much as I did the first time I got in it. If you can find a low mileage example that's been well cared for, I recommend buying it. It’s a manual transmission but the trim selection below doesn’t offer that choice.

I had a 99 Mustang Cobra for 2 years & it was great! (320 HP) The GTO puts that to SHAME! yesterday the police called & said I had cows out, I hopped on the freeway & was running 130mph in 4th gear & it wasnt red lined! (still had 5th & 6th to go but traffic was too heavy) The cobra would red line at 128mph in 4th & it was only a five speed! It didnt even have overdrive, 5th gear was a 1:1 ratio. This is the strongest and fastest car I have ever been in! I bought it on 3-13-09 & the original owner was 75 & it only had 16500 miles on it. If you find one that aint ragged out, you will love it! & you cant beat the price for the 400HP!
verry fast

This thing is bad to the bone! I have owned numerous "fast cars" Buick Grand Nationals, Mustang GT, as well as a 427 powered '67 Chevelle for old school muscle. Nothing comapres to my GTO. The fit and finish are outstanding for $30,000. Oh and did I mention 400 HP? Disappointments are few and far between... Small trunk space, slow seat movement for rear seat ingress. Who cares! I didn't buy it to haul stuff in the trunk or the back seat. Which by the way will fit a 6 foot tall passenger with ease once you do get the front seats out of the way. Pontiac hit a home run with this bad boy. If other car makers followed Pontiac's lead, I'd need a bigger garage!

Traded in a 2002 A4 SS Camaro (SLP 335HP) for a 2005 M6 GTO, comparison follows: Engine: GTO. LS2 has noticeable better low-end torque than an LS1, <cars have similar power/weight>. The LS2s electronic throttle body is responsive to even the slightest of inputs, ultra-smooth power delivery. Exhaust: GTO. True Duals give the GTO a deeper, more menacing tone than the optional SLP cat-back. Suspension: Tie. Much higher ride height and softer suspension in the GTO. The goat has great turn-in feel but not quite the same grip as the SS. The GTOs IRS does well in keeping the rear from skipping during maneuvers in broken pavement. Interior: GTO. No contest.

Anyone who has ever sat/driven a GTO always comes out praising the car's amazing acceleration, handling, and particularly its interior design. You'd be hard pressed to find a more luxurious inviting interior in a car within this price range. It's smooth enough for daily commutes and long trips, and can hit you with the violence of all 400 Hp at any moment. For half the price you get a Corvette with seating for four (real rear seats by the way, not the child seats other cars like the RX-8 and 350Z have), whats not to love about this car.
