Well I kept the car for a little while and it was a good experience. I wouldn't buy it again though due to the following reasons. 1) the car has no steering feel and it doesn't communicate with you at all so you cant drive with precision 2) the back seat has a lot of room but getting in and out is big problem and trust me it is. 3) Resale values are horrible but I didnt look at this when I bough it brand new. 4) Moding can be expensive and there are some mods you need right away like shifter and springs and shocks/ struts. Better tires. Acceleration is great and so far it's faster in STRAIGHT LINE than these: 350z, evo,mustang, srt8,E46 M3, Speed6, S4,C55 AMG. It's a lot of car for the money

Acquired this car new after turning in an '04 BMW 330 coupe. Definitely great power for the money. It doesn't handle like a BMW or Porsche, but those aren't muscle cars. Got the 6spd manual with the 18" wheels. Average 21 mpg in mixed driving, when I behave. The rear can get sloppy with slight road imperfections or slippery surfaces, but it teaches respect. After over 2 years I still dislike the gearbox, though. I despise the 1 to 4 lock-out in city driving, and it repeatedly pops out of gear. But just one stab at the throttle removes all frustrations. The exhaust note sells the car. It is quiet when you're cruising, but loud when you get into it.

The body looks similar to other pontiacs, but still remains unique. Not only is it the strongest stock street car, excluding lambo's and what not, but it turns heads too. To make it look a little more hot, i bought front to tail custom work. New front kit, hood, rims,tires, roof,side kit, doors,tint, spoiler, rear kit, exhaust, cold air intake, a chip, QTEC, dyno, tranny, clutch, suspension.... yeah it was plenty of cash and voided the warranty, but who gives when you got a car this hot.

This car is simply amazing. 400 hp and for 30k. There simply is not a vehicle that can come as close. My salesmen said that the car is made in Australia and I am starting to wish I lived in the land down under. The car purrs at idle and growls as you go through the gears. The interior is something you would never expect from a Domestic car. Absolutely perfect car.

I've got the more rare Impulse Blue Metallic '06 and I love her to death. Aside from a few things breaking (Water Pump went out, Radiator died twice, gas cap lock popping loose) I absolutely love this car. I've had several different Mustangs and once I drove this car I traded in the '94 Cobra I had to get this Lucky To Own car. I am actually designing a custom cold-air intake for mine and I hope to patent it and hopefully have it out for all you other goat lovers to buy at a much cheaper price than K&N intakes. Look for it soon! I've had mine on the 1/4 mile twice and had a huge grin all the way down the track. Especially since I went up against a Mustang GT and won on my first pass.

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.

I purchased my GTO in August 2007. Coming from a supercharged 2000 Honda Accord EX V6, this car's performance really blows me away. I'm still afraid to go full throttle with the traction control turned off. My only complaints are that the interior lighting would have been much better if it were red like the rest of of current day Pontiacs, instead of the green that it is, and that they put wider wheels and tires in the rear. It's just too easy to break traction by depressing the throttle a bit. But for the price of the car, you just can't get as much power and comfort. I love it when people stop and stare at her. I don't know what critics are talking about when they say GTOs don't look good.

I bought the '06, but I wanted one without those ridiculous "nostrils" in the hood. GM says no. Straight line fun all day and all night, gotta love that. I can only assume other reveiwers praising handling have never driven a car that handles. My wife's VW GTI runs rings around this on any corner and my old Subaru STI would embarass it on any road circuit. I love the noise, I love the power, but I'll be spending a lot of money upgrading the suspension using GM Europe parts, adding sat nav and upgrading the stereo. I like the simple styling and, once I get my 2004 hood (no fake nostrils), I think this will be the finest looking coupe on the road.

The way the car drives even at slow speeds it great. Most people have no idea what it is at first then the original GTO folks all of a sudden do not care for it.. The aussies did a fine job on the car only gripe is going from a z28 to GTO is the seat does not go low enough but i am fine with it now. The more new style muscle cars the big 3 build the better//
