I owned a 2005 for 10 years. The motor was stock except for a supercharger, long tube headers and exhaust. A Corvette clutch was needed to contain the torque, dyno tuned to 530 ft-lbs at the rear wheels. Pedders suspension and Nitto drag radials required to get all that power to the ground, lowered an inch, cornered like it was on rails, accelerated like it was being launched off a catapult. Most people had no idea what a GTO even was, and the few who noticed the whine coming from under the hood knew what that was either. And you could drive it to the store for milk.

That's an interesting car, very rare these days. I still have a 2007 Cadillac CTS-V with original 400hp LS2 motor, but that generation of CTS-V was only available with manual transmission. Both the Cadillac and the GTO were based on the Australian Holden, as was the later Pontiac G8, so the Cadillac is somewhat of a 4-door version of the GTO.

The only other car I would have is a CTS-V. I prefer the coupe.

I also remember saying "that's not a GTO". Wasn't until years later that I realized these are actually pretty cool and that I'd much rather have one than a Camaro.

Nothing like popping the clutch on a 1966 Pontiac GTO 389 cubic inches of pure muscle with a set of trips sitting on top of it and a 410 rear end 10 bolt little help with the cam set of headers good to go! Of course that was back in the day. Thank you' I like this channel!

I've been following your firearm page for a long time, and it makes me happy to see this video! I have a 2004 GTO that's getting a 408 stroker here in a month or so.. I'm super stoked for it and the car will be a blast! These cars are awesome, aside from the funky little issues here and there, these are an awesome car to have..these have always been my dream car, and I got mine in 2016 at the age of 20..it's a great feeling

I love Pontiac performance cars. They were always just a bit different than all others. So that’s why I have always been a sucker for the Fiero. I know they were a mutt of parts from other GM cars and not exactly the high performance monsters that they should have been. But come on a mid engine two seater with those great lines, especially the GT fast backs! Laugh if you want I don’t care. Get rid of the wimpy 2.8 and stick a super charged 3.8 or even an LS if you want and there’s not many cars that are going to beat you to the next stoplight. There’s 12k subscribers on this channel I can’t be the only weirdo who loves his Pontiac Fiero. So someone give me a like if you are out there if you love yours too! Oh yeah I almost forgot bury me with my guns on!

Good afternoon Jared.. It looks like a great car.. BUT I grew up in the 60s and 70s.. There is nothing to me that can compare to the cars from the 50s to the 70s.. My Brother had a 72 Nova SS.. factory stock ( special order) 350 with 325hp .. Would do the quarter in 11 seconds.. Another friend had 65 Mustang.. would do the quarter in 9 seconds.. It was his everyday driver as well.. Another friend had a 69 GTO.. I don’t remember what he had in it but he had so many kill sticker on his windows.. I am sure the cars now could compete.. But my heart ❤️ is older cars.. When you stand next to one and can feel the power just idling.. There is nothing like the smell of racing fuel in the morning.. Hahahaha I love the you have so much passion for nice iron.. Keep up the great videos. Cheers Ps find a few older cars with a 396 or a 427 and put your foot in them and feel the G-forces. I want to see your smile 😁

They came with 2 v8s only. In 2004 they came with a 5.7 liter producing around 350 horses and for 05 and 06 they had a 6 liter at around 400. You're probably mistaking this car with the grand prix gtp. It had a V6 with a supercharger.
