| 2005 Pontiac GTO-Front View |
The 2005 Pontiac GTO is a modern muscle car of General Motors. The revived GTO, which debuted as a 2004 model, is essentially the same car as the Australian market Holden Monaro. Sharing everything from chassis to almost all the body panels with the Monaro, the GTO is a solid actor, but does not meet sales expectations of GM. Significant changes on the car of 2004 included more aggressive exterior styling complete with spoons and prominent double-layer switch LS1 to LS2 engine for a gain of 50 horsepower.

Transmission and chassis
As the old classic GTOs, the car uses a 2005 front-engine, rear-wheel drive architecture. Two transmissions were available, a standard four-speed automatic and a six-speed manual optional. Fans, of course, opted for manual, critics panned it for too long and the action moves balky making it difficult to change quickly and correctly. Independent suspension with shock absorbers and coil springs in front and a system of right arm on the back helps keep the car balanced. As for the brakes, see the GTO four-wheel discs, ventilated in front, and standard antilock brake system.
