Summary:
Great car! Was set to buy a Mustang, but dealers wanted to play games. So next day went to look at the GTO. I am so glad I did. A true Mustang KILLER. Great power, would most likely run with the Vette if it were not so heavy. Typical GM paint (not good). Very upscale interior, with comfortable seats both front and back. Stereo is very good when ajusted correctly. Bought the car at Walnut Creek Pontiac/GMC in California. Was old inventory so I got a $5000 discount. Dealer was great no hasles. I have not used there service yet. My very first car was a 69' 396 chevelle. 375 hp, chambered exhaust, solid lifters and a 780 holly carb. The 06' GTO is the only car that I have owned that almout as quick. Of course the brakes and handling is much better on the GTO. The old muscle cars were only good for straight line. I would recomend this car to anyone interested in a high performance car.

Strengths:
LS2, 400 hp, 400 lb/ft of torque. Nuff said. Interior, stereo, sleeper looks, exhaust sound.

Weaknesses:
Weight, fuel consumption.

Summary:
Great car! Lots of fun to drive, and comfortable to boot! 400hp and that much torque can't be beat for the price.

Strengths:
Very fast and powerful engine. Exhaust system is not too muted, and produces a great, intimidating growl at idle, which evolves into a lovely roar at higher RPM's, but the cabin is well insulated so the interior noise is suprisingly quiet. Very soft leather seats in the front, and the back. Back seat has two seats that are actually comfortable to sit in, with REAL leg room, and AC to boot!

Weaknesses:
Trunk is extremely small. Stock stereo system leaves much to be desired. Could come from the factory with a darker window tint. Definately not the most fuel economical vehicle on the road- aproximately 15 miles to the PREMIUM gallon.

Summary:
So far so good.
They apparently knocked out the couple kinks the 2004 had. Power is incredible. But you'd expect that it could leave Mudstang GTs in the dust. What you wouldnt expect is how comfortable it is. You could take your 3 tall guy friends from chicago to Las Vegas in this car. Well as long as they packed lightly, trunk space isnt HUGE. SO, i've had it a month. Nothing wrong when purchased. So far i've had a button stop working.
Only bad thing about the car is here i had to deal with CUTTER PONTIAC WAIPAHU. THey suck.. horrible people horrible service department more con artist than is typical for car dealer. I am driving across the island to a different dealer now for service.

Strengths:
400 HP of strenght with his Cousin 400 ft/lb.
Great seat room.. Great stereo (turn up the amp) Great layout.

Weaknesses:
Paint has "dirt " in it. Wheel clearance not what it should be. Doesnt rub.. but in a few years it might. Fixable.
