Too new to know
I just got the GTO, after 3 Bonneville's, the last was an SSEi. My GTO is smaller and has a few less gadgets, which I actually like having less of. This is my first true muscle car and my first new car. It's going to be interesting to see if a stick shift will become a pain, but for now it's fun. By owning the Bonnis I suspect bakes will become an issue but I'll offer a follow-up once I drive this puppy a little more. I plan to never ever sell this car. I'm hoping that because of the short life this latest genration of GTO will prove a good investment in 30 or so years...
Some fun!
Fun to drive very responsive. The motor pulls like it's nobody's bussiness. And it has a great sound.

The Great One
I have a 6spd manual Spice Red Metallic with the black interior. It was love at first drive. I grew up riding in my uncle's 1968 GTO so when Pontiac came out with this car I knew that some day I had to own one. The torque of the LS2 is something you cannot describe accurately with words and the 6 spd makes it even more blissful. The suspension is adequate but you won't be winning any autocross meets anytime soon. Contrary to what some people may think as far as styling is concerned, the original GTO was nothing more than a dressed up Tempest with a bigger engine so I don't see the big deal with purists wanting a retro looking Goat.
Wow
After spending 6 years in Italy, I was looking forward to buying a new Mustang. Boy, am I glad that I found a GTO still sitting on the new car lot in early 2007. This is an absolutely outstanding vehicle. The 6.0 and 6 speed tranny are a blast to use on a daily basis and they still get respectable mileage. I really can't believe that GM could not sell more of these. That's ok though, I got mine brand new and saved about $5000 off of the sticker price.
True Sleeper!
After a test drive I had to have it! Smooth ride very fast and big leather seats! I read a bunch of reviews on how this car is lacking well I have yet to see it that way. I have had my GTO for over 5 months now and still puts a smile on my face every time I turn the key. This is truly a sleeper and rare car on the street. So much power that makes a ford owner jelious!
Mustangs? Where?
Its just nice to be one of the owners here. I love this car to death and anyone can talk smack but for $29k I think it's worth every cent. I drove it from Lansing, MI to Miami Beach, FL. This was a good ride fully loaded. That is 4 ppl with full truck and even back seat floor with bags. Rear fender was covering tire more than 1 inch. Lovely car.
"06" GTO
This car is great! It handles very well. The engine has a LOT of snap to it. Under the hood is a well organized engine compartment. The seats are the most comfortable seats I've sat in. The sound system is very good, but it would have been nice to have an auxiliary plug for an I-Pod. The craftsmanship on this car is outstanding! The 6 speed shifter had a longer throw than I liked, but after I installed a B&M Short shifter it performs extremely well. I love the "Spice Red" paint on mine. I wouldn't trade this car for anything!
Orange GTO
Very nice ride which offers comfort and performance. Fun to drive and lots of second looks from car enthusiasts. Suspension is well tuned. Huge brakes are an advantage when you are thrusting 400 HP around. Style is good but could have been a little better when compared to some of the alternative vehicles but once you sit in this car and feel the thunder underneath and accessibility of controls you will be hooked. This car blows away my Z-28s and Formula Firebirds not to mention the Ford Mustangs encountered. Hope to see the GTO return. Early rumors indicate that it will be reproduced on the Australian Z body platform as will Camaro. GTO, fuel for the soul.
A true sports car (its the torque not hp
Bang for the dollar, best under 30k,A true sports car is RWD and with 400tq, you can kill 90% of the cars out there stock. I tell you why I bought this and not anything else. Also considered EVO/STI-good AWD but unless you live in snow, modify and then you ll get power. 350Z - very low tq and slow at topend , not comfortable Cobra-Fast car , about the same as GTO but interior is worse than a corolla. M3-best handling, but I am not going to the circuit, I want something comfortable and fast as a daily driver. Also the LS2 is very reliable stock and If you want 550Hp coming outof this beast ,slap a 5k supercharger. Love the whine. seats more comfortable than a C class mercedes,
The best muscle sports car around!
My 06 ls2 Pontiac gto is an automatic and it's great fun to drive with the 0- 60 at 4.4 sec and runs 12.8 1/4 mile down the track. it can pretty much beat anything out there!
