Pontiac GTO 6.0 specs

My neighbor had a 5.7 GTO and put a mint idk how much exactly into it and it was a serious street car, that thing roared, something different. I think the DEA or govt. Ended up with it, dude was into some shady stuff

me looking at this as a first car as a 15 year old 😎

I owned the British version of this car (Vauxhall Monaro). While the interior was pretty dull & the exterior styling was a bit uninspired, it was loads of fun to drive.
Fast on the straights, sharp in the corners & the engine note is glorious.

If you turn off all the driver assists it'll turn anyone (even my nan once lol) into Daigo Saito.

Unfortunately, I lost mine in the most British way possible - someone nicked it from my house & binned it in a ditch.

Sadly the 6.0 GTO is not much faster than the Trans Am WS6.

Change country of origin to Australia, this car was made by Holden

Underrated car

GTO was the Trans Am/Z28 GM should have made in the mid 2000s, 100 more hp than the Mustang had in 2005. 2010 Camaro SS came out with 426 hp LS3 and Ford had to wake up, I guess they didn’t think of the GTO as competition but they should have. They’re about even now in a straight line but Mustangs have never handled like F bodies, that’s why YouTube is full of videos of them hitting everything.

my 2007 mustang gt ,will blow away any GTO

Dollar for dollar this is one of the fastest cars produced in the last 15 years. Lots of ignorant comments here from people who clearly do not build. This car will eat most $80,000 cars for around $12,000 todays cost. Intelligently put $10,000 into it and nearly nothing on the street can beat it. Just lots of ignorance in this thread.

Where are you getting your hp and torque rating? I thought the gto put out 400 hp.

....What does that have to do with anything?..

Its twice the cost, idiot.

oh yeah and the RS4's V8 will rev to 8,250rpm!

B7 Audi RS4, 420hp with a 4.2l engine......enough said!

Rooster, you did 180 kph? :D

I did 180 on your mom last night

I did over 180 in my a4 with bolt on mods.

It does a 200 MPH it can do, there is a picture and a video also to prove it.

Underated or not, its still not doing 189Mph. Even if it had 430Bhp real power, It wouldnt do it. A 5.7 03-04 model with 350Bhp had a max of 167Mph(Limiter cutoff 158Mph)(I know stupid)

A Hsv Vz GTO Coupe is said by Hsv to hit 180Mph even, Most have reported 176Mph, ANd that has the same engine, and gearing(With exception of 5th and 6th) and "Slightly" better Aero, And that doesnt do 189Mph.

2005 C6 400Bhp 187Mph, 2004 911 Turbo 415Bhp 188Mph, 360 CS 425Bhp 186Mph, 2004 493Bhp CL55 AMG Unlimited 189Mph.

Fastest stock 2006 400Bhp GTO i believe has been 172Mph, SOme "Speedos" showing higher. This does not do 189Mph plain and simple, Not with what it has.

That car's 400 horsepower is underrated though.

It could do 189 mph with an extra 120 horsepower by my calculations.

It CAN reach 189 but ONLY with a few thousand miles. https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20140716233231AAjx3mr

This car couldn't do 189 mph falling from a plane.

...This aint doing 189.

Restricted top speed is 158 mph. 189 de-restricted.

Hey guys, i agree it is sad there are no track times :( once i have more time and money ill get working on the tracks in CA though, although mine will be with full exhaust and track suspension. If you want performance out of a GTO that's really all you have to do... really transformed the handling ability of the car.

@Nickerson

So a car with a top speed of 170mph and 0-60 in less than 5 seconds for $30k is crap performance? Seems like a damn good bargain to me.
