Holden chassis is excellent, great 400HP power with 6 speed and IRS. What else do you need?

After reading some of the other reviews, other purchasers seem to want a luxury car with high performance and 30 MPG. NOT !! The now departing 2006 GTO will be a collector's car soon enough, I'd highly recommend begging, borrowing, or stealing the $$ to buy one. The dealer I bought from in Arizona had TEN GTOs for sale - I had the pick of the litter. Sold at INVOICE $$, this dealer simply wanted to unload his inventory...advantage ME. NO VEHICLE currently made will give you the wide swath of luxury and performance this car will. Just drive one. 400 HP, great driving position and non-descript exterior will keep the idiots wondering what the hell just flew past. BUY ONE.

A lot of these other reviewers who have complaints, don't appreciate the "grown ups" sports car market. We don't want giant wings that look like ironing boards, or exhaust that sounds like it came off the old weedwacker. We want smooth style, power and performance. It's about fluidity, and the new GTO has it nailed. It's fast, yet not rambunctious and noisy like the dodge "hemi" junk, and it rides very nice, it is extremely reliable due to utilizing the time-tested small block chevy. Its just an awesome car anyway you look at it, the price is excellent for what you get too.

The day I received this car all I had was a smile on my face, I love the brazen orange paint, the crazy torque the comfortable seats and the launch oh my god, faster than all the sports cars that I have own, and I had some good ones, and IROC-Z, Mustang GT, Buick Grand National this thing smokes them all I do have some performance parts such as eibach springs, koni shocks, subframe connectors, alum- driveshaft bmr axels and stubs headers, supercharger, comp cam and magnaflow exhaust. But the thing I like the most is that you don't see them all over the road. I'll keep it until the wheels fall off.

What more can you say? 400 HP. Quiet, smooth ride, handles good and can take off like a rocket in a heartbeat. Sure the y could have done more with the appearance but that's what makes this car such a good package. Yeah some people may have bought a bad one and come on here and rip the car, but you'll have that with any model. Take it for a spin, you won't be disappointed. I sure wasn't.
