I personally own a 2006 and love it. I don't know why people complain about the rear seats, there is more leg room back there then a lot of sedans offer. Definitely beats the heck out of Camaro/Mustang back seats.

honestly pretty standard build on an ls2 gto, ported heads, cam (that cam probably needed at least valve springs as well), fast intake, throttle body, upgraded injectors, fast 102 intake manifold and throttle body, headers, and exhaust, an over the radiator intake and a dyno tune lol.

Call me a neanderthal but I actually liked this GTO styling over many of the 'retro-modern' styling of the Camaro and Mustangs of the 2000s era. It is clean and purposeful with just enough styling changes to make it recognizable as a Pontiac. The same can be said for the G8. Still sad Pontiac is dead though.

GM didnt market it well enough. The Chevy SS and Holden are now discontinued. Have you ever seen a Chevy SS commercial? Its a superior sedan to a malibu, impala, cruze, etc. Has as much features as a Cadillac as well, and is a highly regarded sedan by reviewers. The only issue is the common person doesnt know what Holden or its rebadged American versions are.

That's because it wasn't a Pontiac. If you've ever sat in one of these cars you can tell it's not your average GM. Excellent interior, best I've ever sat in. These things had better leather in them than a Ferrari.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. This guy is so much better than the other channels. No talking about door handles and 25 minutes walking around the car. Just gets to the point and goes for a drive and actually mics the engine. I swear to god sometimes doug Demuro forgets to drive the car, and when he does it's like he's 90 years old.

Sold my 06 in 2014 (original owner) and had to sell it to pay bills. The buyer is selling to buy a race bike and I got first dibs and she's coming back home. Looking forward to mods and keeping her to the grave this time around. Best fitting car I've owned and lots of knee room for a fat old guy 6'2". Too bad I'm overseas working but my bro is taking care of business on it. Thanks Brudda.

I ALWAYS get head turns and compliments everywhere I go. I'm actually a ford fan, but I always wanted a gto, and I purchased one this year, put a ton of money Into, and now I have a true classic beast. Good video, love the car.

Just turn on the car, roll down the window a tad, and listen to the exhaust!

I picked up an 06 Black GTO with just 51k miles in 2017 for $12.5k. The original owner had already had it modded at East Texas Muscle Cars in Longview Texas. Performance Mods TQv2 Cam AFR 205 heads Exhaust 3500 Stall CAI Fuel Injectors Mini tub in back with 315s The exterior was in great condition, probably a 7 out of 10. I've added the SAP front end (bumper fascia and grill, didn't care for the SAP side skirts or rear bumper). Also replaced the stereo system and had all the gauges and buttons reworked by Bohman customs to have red backlightong and tach/speedo needles that go from white to red as they climb. The car is a blast to drive, very reliable and gets lots of compliments. At 480 to the wheels I don't find myself needing more power. I've currently got it sitting next to my 65 red GTO in the garage and while the 06 "GTO" doesn't resemble the original GTOs it's still a great car.

Very cool to see this review. I have a 2004 Heads/Cam/Intake/Exhaust GTO that looks and sounds similar to this one. Mine looks like the 06 on the exterior and I have alot of the same parts that this one has. Nothing sounds better than a cammed LS especially with spintech exhaust. Mine only put down 414 whp then again I have the LS1 , a slightly smaller cam and a 3200 stall vs a LS2 and a 6 speed. Great job on the review, its nice to see some modded cars as something different.

Great review of an absolutely amazing machine!! I sold two 2004 5.7 GTO's, I sold one 2005 GTO 6.0, and three 2006 6.0 GTO's back when I was in new cars sales at the Buick/Pontiac/GMC Truck dealership from 2002-2006. I did a dealer swap for a brand new 2006 Impulse Blue with Blue leather interior, GTO 6 speed manual with the newly optional for '06, 18" wheels. I drove an automatic 2006 GTO to swap for the 6 speed model. What a fun ride that was!! The GTO I picked up only had 4 miles on it, so I didn't want to beat on it or anything. Not that I would have anyway, but I definitely didn't want to abuse my customers new car since he was a really nice guy. I did do a couple of 3rd gear 70 mph pulls fairly close to the 6500 redline... At about 6200 rpm I shifted into 4th. I did this long after it was warmed up and driving for about 25 miles or so. Honestly, I had a great time just cruising on the highway in 6th gear getting nearly 30 mpg at 65-70 mph according to the vehicle info center. It's such a comfortable and fun to drive car.

Nice car, nice review. One thing - back seat area is actually pretty roomy and comfortable (a child seat fits just fine). Getting in and out of the back is a chore, but once seated, nothing but complements from my passengers.

The price turned people away. I had a 1970 gto that my girl friend wrecked. I now have a 2006 gto. 2 totally different cars. I liked the looks of the old one but would rather drive the new one as it is much faster. It only makes sense that the fastest Pontiac should be a GTO.

@Scraggle848
@Scraggle848 6 лет назад
I agree. I personally think that the 05-06 is a good looking car, albeit a bit conservative in appearance. It is far from ugly. I just think that the styling was a bit too conservative for the legacy it had to live up to.

I owned a 2004 GTO back in 2007. From what I remember from that time, the gas tank was moved from under the trunk to just behind the back seats in the trunk because it wouldn't have met US crash test requirements if it wasn't moved.

@glennmiller394 8 лет назад
I owned one of these and put 40k miles on it. It was, hands down, the sketchiest handling vehicle I ever owned. Even worse than my 1999 Mustang. Wet roads meant taking great caution with the power. I never wrecked it, but it sure tried its best. It did have amazing sound and acceleration as long as you kept it going in a straight line.
@MattMaranMotoring
@MattMaranMotoring 8 лет назад
+Glenn Miller Wow that's crazy. Maybe the couple suspension mods the owner did helped to fix some of those problems! Good to know though for those considering one of these, thanks for sharing your experiences!
@Unb3arablePain
@Unb3arablePain 8 лет назад
+Glenn Miller That's a problem with the GTO. Sure, it has an IRS, but the weight, skinny 275 tires, and lack of aftermarket suspension refinements makes it handle less than decent in most cases. I've ridden in my buddy's 2002 Camaro Z/28 with some aftermarket wheels/tires, Koni shocks, 1.25" lowering springs, panhard bar, and sway bars. Car felt like it was stuck on rails, no joke. The 300+lb GTO without these mods can't compete in the corners.
@Beer_Dad1975
@Beer_Dad1975 8 лет назад
+Glenn Miller Yeah, it was fundamentally still the same 1997 VT platform underneath so it was pretty obsolete by 2006 - and to be honest, they weren't even that great in 1997.
@CPAJayhawk
@CPAJayhawk 8 лет назад
I had one for 5 years handling was bad... Rear tires were so skinny it would step out on you on long sweepers at moderate speed.
@anthony91688
@anthony91688 7 лет назад
Glenn Miller true stuff about the wet roads! New owners, be aware it slips easily. Also acceleration is great. Only part i disagree with (and this might be subjective) is that it handles worse than a 99 mustang. I still have my 2001 mustang gt(which im assuming is similar handling to your 99) and its not even close. Now, you do feel the weight more in the gto, but i still feel like my gto handles way better than the mustang ever did. But like i said, everyones experiences are different. Great car, very happy with it and going over a year owning it and 0 issues! Solid car and you never see them. Nice having a different car than all the camaros, mustangs, and chargers everywhere. Not hating on them, but damn they are EVERYWHERE
