GTO - three legendary letters that started and defined a muscle car phenomenon in 1964. More than four decades later, the 2006 Pontiac GTO is the spiritual leader of modern muscle. For the ’06 model year, the GTO is distinguished by revised taillamp styling. The taillamp background is now gloss black instead of red. Two new colors - Fusion Orange and Spice Red - offer none-too-subtle choices for customers who want their Goat to stand apart from the crowd. There is also a new 18-inch wheel design with bright spokes that further identifies the ’06 model. As it was in the beginning, performance is at the heart of the Pontiac GTO. A 6.0-liter LS2 V-8 produces an impressive 400 horsepower (298 kw) and 400 lb.-ft. of torque (542 Nm). The Hydra-Matic 4L65-E four-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission is standard, while a six-speed Tremec T56 manual transmission is optional. The awesome powertrain is capable of propelling the GTO form 0-60 in 4.7 seconds and 13-second quarter mile times. All that power is matched by the equally impressive stopping power from a four-wheel disc performance braking package featuring vented front rotors, solid rear rotors and bright red calipers with the GTO logo. A four-channel ABS system is standard. 35 comments: Pontiac GTO 6.0L V8 2006 GTO here: no it can really do under 5sec 0-60mph and I allready hit 150mph on 5th gear  FACTS talk for THEMSELVES. I LOVE MY GTO! smoke many and manyyy cars and its cheap car compared to foreighn ones like BMW M5 which does the same performance but triple the cost and double the gas! ***GTO***"
Visitor P (6686) - Posted on 12.1.2006 Yeah....I just bought a 06 GTO and did plenty of research on it. The poor idiots trashing the car don’t know crap. And the mazda dude...that is hysterical. Sissy car.
(6686) - Posted on 11.24.2006 Actually, it’s Australian made (don’t talk trash about something you know nothing of). Secondly, you really should compare numbers before comparing two different cars. The Mustang is inferior in handling, braking, and overall performance. I’m not saying Mustangs aren’t great cars, I’m saying they simply don’t outperform the GTO.
(6686) - Posted on 11.20.2006 The gto is a overweight over priced Turd! any one of the compact cars with a factory turbo can kill it o-60 & 1/4 mile.
jim (6686) - Posted on 11.17.2006 I own a auto repair shop,and we domost of our repair work on mostly those great high quality americancars you speak of. Pride of workmanship in autobuilders is still alive,but the forgien companys have it .We got satisfied with unions holding your jobs like momma callng work an yelling at your boss
R (6686) - Posted on 11.16.2006 I beleive this car should go 175 if not governed. When the vette had it’s major makeover in the late 90s, it had around 350 horses and would do 172.
Jesse (6686) - Posted on 11.16.2006 Im sick of the damn foreign car companies and their ugly . If your gonna buy a car buy a GM, a Ford product, or anything else American. Stop supporting the foreign car industries.
J (6686) - Posted on 11.13.2006 Its still American-made junk. The smarter folks will always go for the impressive quality of foreign cars
bobon mydick (6686) - Posted on 11.12.2006 Can that car really go 175?!?! i think thats a crock of crap.
Trock (6686) - Posted on 11.3.2006 Because the brakes on it . Great engine, but it also handles worse then a mustang. I know the 0-60 times are really in the mid 5s, not sure about the top speed, but I would be surprised if it was that high due to a regular corvette being about 175. Which is lighter and more aero.
(6686) - Posted on 10.11.2006 there are some dumbasses out there that would rather by a dumb jap car rather than a bigger better american one
(6686) - Posted on 08.20.2006 if the pontiac gto really goes 175 and cost only 31-32 thousand why would anyone buy an evo costing atleast a thousand more?
