2005 GTO review
2004 wasn't a banner year for the return of the GTO. I think the car was a winner, making those that actually drove it into believers. But I guess that many couldn't get past the Monaro style that I felt was understated but not ugly. Now with hood scoops and another 50hp under the hood and a few other tweaks, the 2005 GTO will be arriving at dealerships in much leaner quantities early next year. NewAgeGTO.com has a test drive by someone who can compare '04 verses '05.
