"I only mention the ssr because it has the same engine. Heard this is the best engine gm ever made. Most people want something else within a year and I can't think of any other car I want. I just love my smokin fast gto, its amazingly fast and has a nice roar too."

"Spice red (more like candy apple), black interior, 400hp, 18 inch wheels with a ride of comfort. Absolutely fast, yet understated. Performance wise, Pontiac got it right. Unless you've driven one, you cannot fully appreciate the thrill of when power grips the road."

"Bought my "used" '06 Torrid Red GTO two years ago with 1k miles on it. Now have about 4500 miles on it. The car is simply amazing. It behaves nice when you need it to and conversely it makes the jump to light speed instantly when called upon. The build quality is far beyond any normal GM product you might be familiar with. This Australian built masterpiece is unmatched for price, quality and price. Plus you don't see a lot of them around which is nice versus the dime a dozen new Camaros & Mustangs. For people who criticize the GTOs limited trunk space, common folks, you don't buy a GTO, Vette, Camaro, etc. for trunk space! The LS2 GTO is simply the best GTO ever built and the most exciting Pontiac product since the 1973-74 455 SDs! Long live PMD!!!"

"This is the fastest car I have ever been in! I would see a couple Mustang GT's and "Rice Burners" racing on the highway and just blow by them for fun. Great handeling! Amazing acceleration! Have yet to be beat by anyone on the road!"

"Bought car in May 2009 from carmax in greenville,Sc. With 10,340 miles on it. I now have over 27,000 miles on it with no problems. The original tires are still on the car and were only rated for 14,000 miles. I have almost doubled that and now have to replace them within another 2,000 miles. This let's me know that the undercarriage and steering is most definitely sound with this car. Buy one. You won't be disappointed. The top speed is supposed to be around 175m.p.h . The '06 model has no governor on it. I've had her up to 145 with no problem. Ivget brand new tires all around ill max her out."

"One word explains it all....EXCELLENT! This is, without a doubt, the best car I have ever owned. I have enjoyed just driving this car better than any other one I have owned as well. My first one was totaled when rear-ended in rush hour traffic (took a 40mph hit without so much as a bruise to the occupants) and did all I could to find another. The second one had the strut issues but it was a warranty item and was fixed pronto by Sewell in Dallas. I HIGHLY recommend this car to anyone."
