My brothers friend just bought a brand new GTO.  400HP stock.  i raced him just to see if i could keep up.  first and second we were nose to nose then he hit third and pulled away.  he ended up beating me by a 1 1/2 car lengths but we only got up to around 88 MPH.  any faster and he would of really embarressed me.  just thought i'd share that with ya'll i never realized how fast those cars where.

Yes he's right '06 was the last year for it. No more GTO, unlike the Mustang. Even though they may be fast, they were too generic looking and did not sell, which is why every Pontiac dealer has leftovers that they are selling cheap. They look too much like Grand Prixs. So, in the end, your friend has another poorly thought out GM car that is almost worthless. Compare what a same year GTO and Mustang is worth.

I would hardly call a 400hp car almost worthless.

Which works both ways,sucks if your trying to sell one but is great if you're trying to buy one.

I personally would not disrespect anyone's pride and joy. I just don't like them. I like the Mustangs, hence I'm here. Also, I am glad that the resale value is way better on the Mustang. That was another thing that really disappointed me about my Magnum. The resale went to hell. Dealers are giving $6,000 - $10,000 of on leftover '06 Magnums and Chargers here in Arizona. My local dealer sold a Charger Daytona (nice car) that they had 6 or 7 months for $7,500 below MSRP.

why so many haters here? Aren't we all American muscle and actually GTOs were one of the true muscle cars and the car has 400hp / 400tq, beatiful seats/ interior and people comes over here and call them worthless..  i think they are kickass rides!! they got LS2 enginies in them.. so why people call vettes kickass and GTOs piece of crap? no need to be haters.. look around again and see those rice burners and then look back to GTOs and appriciate!!!

Car would of been worth so much more if they gave it a sleeker and meaner look. Im sorry but looks of a car has a bit more to do with how much horsepower it has..for most people. If that wasnt the case most of us would be buying maros...including me...stupid SS..makin me buy a SC just so I can beat you..die gm die.

The LS1 GTOs will get beat, but a LS2 equipped GTO will show any of the LS1 fbody cars nothing but licence plate with a capable driver.

It weighs a bit more, but 400 horsepower > 320 horspower (not to mention LS2 > LS1
