Nice car

This is a sleeper performance car. I have been looking for a performance car that is inexpensive and this is the model that I have chosen. I will get this model, eventually.

Loving It!

It's exactly as I remember it. I test drove one 14 years ago and loved it. It's a comfortable cruiser and a more than capable performer when called upon.

Best Muscle Car For the Money

This GTO is the last GTO production muscle car by Pontiac in 2006. 400 HP, and half the price of other muscle cars was the best of both worlds.

Wonderful car

I've only owned it for about a year, but it had no issues while I had it. The six-speed transmission was very smooth, and the car is a blast to drive. Audio system was not the greatest, but not terrible. There's somewhat of a large blind spot on the drivers side, but the wide view mirror helps with this a lot. Even long car rides are comfortable. I would recommend this car for anyone looking for some fast wheels.

Great LS car for the money

Car is a great performance but I personally like the Fbody LS since I think it looks better and they're cheaper and lighter.

Great Summer Car

A unique ride that offers very little options so all are fairly easy to compare with one another. The price is falling on these and they are fun little sleepers once you remove the wing. Modifying them is expensive.

Very quick and very dependable

I'ved owned a black/charcoal 2006 GTO now for nearly 10 years and have enjoyed its power and comfort. Mine has been very reliable with the only significant repair being a water pump replacement. Mine has 205K miles and it still drives great. Still on the first clutch. I've not once peeled out but I also don't baby it. When it comes time, I will simply rebuild the engine and trans.

brazen man

I've owned this 2006 gto for 3 years love every minute of driving it It's Brazen Metalic Orange for which there were only 171 made at all in that color in 2006 . I've found out I own the only one like in the state of NH I receive great comments all the time about it my girlfriend how can you stand to hear all those people talk about it I told her I love it . one guy said to me does that have a 6 in it I told him it has a corvette motor in it had to show him. I love the design of it the color handling music system I bought with 31,000 on it up 52,000 now with no major headaches the garage I have it serviced at love it I make sure I mark the mileage when I bring it for service . when I was a kid in the 60's didn't have the money to buy one now I'm 60 and enjoying it I still have a need for speed also It's oil under coated every year no rust a 64 year old gentleman owned it before I did didn't ever see winter . I do drive in winter goes great with traction control
