Vehicle Description
7115 2006 Pontiac GTO Hardtop Initially, the GTO was powered by GM's LS1 V8 making 350hp. For 2005, Pontiac slid the LS2 6.0-liter V8 under the hood, good for 400 hp. Blasting from zero to 60 in less than 5.5 seconds and blitzing the quarter-mile in under 14 ticks means a 2005 Pontiac GTO will simply embarrass nearly any old Goat you could name. Certainly not an old goat in this title verified 56,882 mile, 2006 GTO from Pontiac. Now with 400hp a homologation of Holden and European style looks, the dyed in the wool GTO fans may not like the new aero look but will relish the performance which the classics cannot even come close to. Only a 3-year run for this car, and it is now an instant classic. It's only fault with the public back in the day was the Holden/Euro styling which has nary a hint of retro on it. Exterior This styling means that each unit from every company essentially takes on the same traits, and this ubiquitous example plays along exactly with the game. With no reference to the past conquests, integrated new headlights, front bumper and lower fog lights are aerodynamically inserted and smoothed over. A slight reference to Pontiac in form is the flush mounted split front honeycomb grille in black with the red arrowhead badge in the center. A hood scoop has been carved into the hood and sports dual openings, just like the GTO's of yore. All panels are bathed in Phantom Black Metallic, and it's menacing! We note a few chip offs and scuffs on the bumpers as well as the lower rocker panels, but certainly no rust. These flared rocker panels move rearward to a greenhouse long sloping rear glass that ends with a rear spoiler. More integrated taillights rear bumper and finally a black roll pan with a GTO logo flanked by dual zoom tube chrome tipped exhaust finish out the back.  17-inch 5 spoke polished and riveted wheels on all 4 corners come with 245/45ZR17 high performance blackwall tires from the 28th week of 2022 and all black trimmings around windows keep it simple. Interior Fashioned from curved molded vinyl and a strip of suede, the door panels are as aerodynamic as the exterior. High back extra bolster support buckets in charcoal gray leather, have an embroidered GTO in their uppers. These seats are power adjustable and present with only fine wear that comes with careful use and age. In back is a 2 plus 2 bench setup stretching from B pillar to B pillar. In the center is a curved molded console that makes its way gracefully upward and melting into the dash. On its way is a 6-disc AM/FM/CD radio, green and black screen readout for information and fan and temp knobs. The dash borrows styling directly from Porsche with the overlapping circle gauges, and perfectly contrasting red readouts, under a curved dash top visor. Black carpet for the floors and more molded panels covered with slightly fuzzy material for the headliner. Drivetrain Stuffed under the curved dual vented hood is a living breathing 6.0 Liter V8 LS2 engine. It is in very good condition, as is the entire engine bay, with no corrosion or rust, all original save for a cold air intake. EFI feeds it, and a T56 6-speed manual transmission with a new clutch and a 3.46 geared limited slip rear finishes up the drivetrain. Did I mention it puts out 400 horses?! Undercarriage Up on the lift some road dirt is noted but almost no surface rust and all structurally sound with the unibody construction. All independent suspension, and power disc brakes are seen all around for this car. Factory dual exhaust is on for the exhale and works with Flowmaster mufflers to create that perfect LS melody. Drive-Ability As expected, this car fired right up, and performed like a 400hp car should on the test track. Seat pushing acceleration, rail like handling, and quick stopping were the norm. All functions were performing as they should, and it is a smooth highway cruiser with low noise factor. We kep |
