"I purchased a 04' GTO in 04' and it was the best decision I ever made for purchasing a new muscle car. You cant beat this car for the cost. Out of the box it has HP and handling. With mods its almost unbeatable in its class."

"This is one of the best american made muscle cars on the road today! Although not too many people know the GTO came back in 2004-2006. The 04 got a bad rap for not looking like a GTO, the 2005 changed all that. And now with Pontiac closing they have become instant collectors cars!"

"The 2005+ GTO is one of the best bang for the buck performance machines you can buy in the used market, it has fantastic power, good handling, and cruises more like a bmw/mercedes than a muscle car. Has plenty of power at any rpm and still gets up to 30mpg with the 6-speed, there is simply no comparison. The only thing wrong with the car is the exterior styling is slightly bland, but that can be remedied with a good set of wheels. Otherwise this is an untouchable muscle/sports car at a great price in the used market!"

"This car is rediculously fast. Though it weighs a plenty you wouldn't know it when you step on the throttle. It takes off and keeps going rediculously. It looks beautiful, maybe not what you'd think a GTO should, but still very nice. All the ladies think it is super sexy (Very nice). Mine is a red 6-speed. Have had a few problems (corroded wiring harness, blower control head) but nothing huge. I would recomend this car to ANYONE. Roomy, fast, sexy, and it eats up Mustangs and Chargers all day."

"This car is a full IN YOUR FACE hot rod, Both the LS1 and LS2 make big HP numbers right out of the box, enough power to take on ANYONE on the street, It responds very well to Mods, either minor on major. I have done a CAM, headers, exhaust, Cold Air Intake, Typhoon intake Manifold and a few others, Car now has over 500 RWHP and still gets great gas mileage, very civilized in normal driving, but get hard on the gas and it hits like Mike Tyson in his prime.. If you can find one, BUY it. There is nothing out there anywhere from 25 to 45 thousand dollars that can match it's Raw power and brute strength..Even in stock form, this car will distroy Mustangs, Chargers, Magnums. ALL OF THEM"

"Best car you can get for the money. Ultra fast,rwd,6-sp,6.0litre. If you are considering a Mustang, take a look at the Goat. No comparision. Bought mine used with 14000 miles for $23500. Some guy I know bought a 2006 stang convert. for $34000! Rip off. Stangs stink, goats are where it's at!"

"This is a true 60s muscle car. Big bang for the dollar. Nice exterior same as the 60s cars, not to much show, but tons of go. Comfortable to drive , handles nice, smooth ride. This is a good IN YOUR FACE HOT ROD. Willing and able to take on any factory car in its price range [25 to 35 thousand dollars]. From idle to full RPMs this car will just pin you against the seats and hold you there till you let up. Gas mileage is good, about 24 MPG at 65 MPH and around 17 MPG in the city. I have had no issues or complaints at all. Now have 11,500 miles on it. No rattles, squeaks, Nothing"

"I purchased this car in Feb 2005 and it now has 11000 miles on it. had no problems at all. It is a true modern hot rod, I have the 4 speed automatic and I do wish this had 1 more gear.. Ride is pretty solid and quiet and gas mileage is good for a car of this type,,I love the way the power hits when you hit the throttle, this thing will snap your head back at any speed the second you step on the pedel. This car is pure stock except for a Magnaflow Cat back system and a Brute Force cold air induction system ,this gave me an added 35 HP,,WHAT A RUSH"

"If you drive this car, you WILL buy one. Period. Powerful, Great Handling, and extremely will built. I get 26MPG highway, pretty impressive for 400HP 6.0L to deliver right out of the box! Best performance value for your dollar out there, hands down."
