Just bought a red on red 2006 and absolutely love this car. Kudos to the previous owner who kept this car immaculate. Leather smells new, turn the key and the growl is music to my ears. Step on the pedal and this thing will go! What a great car and solid build. Just a fun fun car.

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.

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!

The gto drives unbelieveably smooth and firm for as much horsepower it has and for being a sportscar. It drives similar to my mothers cadillac sts '06. The response is awesome, and i like how they made it a 2-door not like the dodge charger which is a 4- door and i dont like it.

I have owned many 60s and 70s muscle cars over the years, and bought 2 5.0 Mustangs new and this car is by far the fastest in stock trim. With only 1000 miles on the 06 GTO I went to the drag strip. It went 13.40s at 103.70 in the quarter mile, completely showroom stock. It gets almost 20 mpg avg and I drive 95 miles round trip to work daily. 7500 miles and not a problem.

Just got an '05 cyclone grey w/ 6 speed- -it rocks! I've had Mustang GTs, a Z- 28, Grand National and other "enthusiast" cars, none are even close to a GTO in performance, comfort and overall enjoyment. Apologies are in order to the motorists I've no doubt scared w/ the outrageous passing power and noise, but that's about the only downside I've seen yet. It is also cool how much respect this car gets, lots of looks and compliments and people asking what 400hp feels like. Traction control and abs allowed for a real fun ride recently in the rain, which was a big suprise recalling other muscle cars complete inability on the wet. Gas mileage well over 20 on a recent tank w/ mostly hiway miles.

Leaking Struts

I purchased this car new on 6-30, noticed it leaking on 7-1. Both front struts blown. Cannot drive car and still waiting on parts as of 8-8. Fluid leaked onto front brake pads and rotors making dangerous to drive. GM knew this was a problem with all 06's and continues to sell them without fixing this first. Pontiac has been a nightmare to deal with. Refuses to extend warranty to cover time I've been without car. Do a search for 06 gto leaking struts and read other's stories. Terrible customer service.

Just purchased a 2006 GTO 6L 6 speed manuel. Very Safisfied !!! Runs like a mid-60's muscle car, handles like an Indy racer, and gets the mileage of a late 90's family car. I'm going through my "third" childhood and absolutely enjoying it !!
