Please change the main picture. That's the Pontiac GTO Ram Air 6 Concept, not the 6.0 GTO.
The red car also seems to be a 5.7, since it doesn't have the nostrils on the hood.
Wikipedia has a nice HQ picture of it, but anything works for me as long as it's the real car.

I got to drive one of these today; unfortunately, it was the auto version and not the manual, as that was the complaint I have about the car. The car cornered well enough, and the car was certainly good-sounding, but any time you felt like you were going anywhere, the transmission would shift, and it would noticeably slump for enough of a fraction of a second to mess up just throwing the car around. I'm not sure if the car had transmission problems or not, but the 4L65E is reliable enough that I doubt it.

Only reason specs and times aren't that great is stock traction I drove one it had unbelievable power just aftermarket rims and tires if you went aggressive would probably put around a 2-3 sec 0-60 time that car is nasty beast and I love the ws6 trans am it's beautiful but totally different league would kill to drop the ws6 on goat power train would be sexy and God awful fast I think u could get wider tire on it that way too you need slicks on the back to get the power down you lower the compression a bit and put a turbo on the GTO and you could easily make 900 HP with reliability too

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.

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.

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.

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
