2004-2006 Pontiac GTO Review
Pontiac revived its iconic 1960s "muscle car" for 2004 as a midsize V8 coupe based on a car built by Holden, GM's Australian branch. A 350-hp 5.7-liter V8 derived from the Chevrolet Corvette drove the GTO's rear wheels via a 4-speed automatic transmission or available 6-speed manual. ABS, traction control, and a limited-slip differential were standard. Seventeen-inch wheels and performance tires were the only available wheel-tire combination. GTO had seats for four and came with leather upholstery, in-dash CD changer, and remote keyless entry. Side airbags, sunroof, and antiskid system were unavailable.
Year to Year Changes
2005 Pontiac GTO: A 400-hp 6.0-liter V8 replaced the 350-hp 5.7 V8 as GTO's sole engine for 2005. Also newly standard was a hood with two air scoops. A scoopless hood was a no-cost option.
2006 Pontiac GTO: Available 18-inch wheels marked 2006 for what Pontiac said was GTO's final model year. Slow sales and an aging basic design sealed this sporty car's fate.
