If you love HP, you will love this car. It left my AMG55 in the dust!!! My friend just bought a new STI.. NO CONTEST!!! This cars quality and workmanship is one to beat for the price. Sure it doesn't have all the bells and whistles that some luxury cars do, but for the price I am saving on the sticker I can have those things installed, customized, and still beat them on the street and the price. I LOVE THIS CAR!! AND I LOVE DRIVING IT!! IT gets looks wherever I go.. Probably because they hear me coming!!!

Fun car to drive. Had the car about 3 years drive it once in a while only a toy. Has 17K miles all original, 6 speed.The shifter should have been better.It shifts fine but spacing is long throw. There is a upgrade for it but too lazy and want to keep it original. Plenty of power and great handling for my needs. Good highway mileage ( about 25 mpg) around town not so good. Best car I ever owned. Update >>> Had about 6 years now. Drive it very little. It only sees nice days and the car is so much fun to drive. Always puts a smile on my face. update>>> 7 or 8 years now. The hydraulic throw out bearing is a common problem. Mine failed.Keep resavoir filled with clean fluid you may avoid the problem. Haven't fixed it yet. Still love the car.

2006 GTO first hand

The car starts right up every morning. The drive is kind of bumpy due to the sporty suspension. I love the small block v-8. Runs better when driven hard, like most corvette engines. Dislike the locking mechanism for the door locks. Wont let you lock the doors with out pushing the button. The passenger seat is horribly slow to move forward and back. So getting people or children in the back is not fun. The shifter feels long, and the exhaust note is great at higher rpms. The headlights should have been xenon. The blaupunkt cd player distorts easily with bass. The steering is heavy on fast corners. straight acceleration is phenomenal. Ill never buy another one, but ill keep mine.

I wanted a GTO since they came out in 2004, I finally got one, in an automatic burnt orange. I couldn't be happier with this car. So far I have only put about 100 miles on it in town. It sure does turn some heads. This is pretty much the only sports car I can drive being that I am 6'7" 370lbs. I tried getting in a challenger, and charger, but the center console dugg into my leg in the wrong spot, and the insurance on the SRT8 was ridiculous. Plus the GTO will beat the 50k SRT8 all day long stock to stock. Hell if I put 50k into my Goat, I would have a 1500+hp car. In my opinion the GTO is the best muscle car. If you are looking at on, GET IT, if you have one LOVE IT!

Refined Muscle Car w Subtance over Style

Re-introduced in 2004, the GTO early press reviews raved about the driving experience, interior and build quality, but the exterior styling left everyone underwhelmed. Many of us who fondly recalled the GTO’s of the muscle car era felt the new version didn’t live up to the memory, and sales didn’t meet GM’s expectations. Oh so many missed a great car. Open the hood and you will find one of the best motors on the planet, the General Motors LS2, a 400 horsepower V8 that can motivate you to 60 in under 5 seconds. Stealth looks combined with the LS2 power plant make for a modern muscle car with capabilities that require you take a deeper look to fully appreciate.
