2004 Pontiac GTO Review:

With the reanimation of the 2004 Pontiac GTO, one of the very first muscle cars is finally back on the road. There certainly aren't too many models today that hearken back to the days of cool, high-powered performance. Luckily for enthusiasts, Pontiac has brought the GTO back for another go-round.

Oddly enough, the American speedster is actually built by Holden, Pontiac's Australian branch. Projected annual production is that there will be around 18,000 vehicles made. So while you don't have to rush down to the dealership to pick one up, you shouldn't wait too long if you're interested.

What you'll get if you decide to splurge on a GTO is the obvious thrill of a powerful V8 engine, aggressive styling and a thoroughly driver-oriented cockpit. That, plus an idea of what things were like back in the muscle car heyday.

Under the Hood

The engine under the GTO's hood is a modified Corvette V8. It is a 5.7-liter LS1 model that cranks out an astounding 350 horsepower at 5200 rpm and 365 lb-ft of torque at 4000 rpm.

Transferring all this power into ridiculous speeds are two transmission systems: a 4-speed electronic automatic transmission and a 6-speed manual transmission. You get to choose how the rear-wheel drive roadster gets up to speed.

You want specs that will blow you away? Here they are: the 2004 Pontiac GTO will go from 0-60 mph in 5.5 seconds. It will also do a quarter mile in less than 14 seconds.

Contributing to the ride quality are seventeen-inch alloy wheels, performance tires and a fully independent, performance-tuned suspension featuring direct-acting stabilizing bars and power rack-and-pinion steering. Traction control and a limited slip differential also come standard.

Standard Features, Options Packages and Style

The new GTO has four leather bucket seats that you just sink into. They come in black, or they can be color-coordinated with the vehicle's exterior color.

Some of the other standard features include air conditioning, a tilt/telescoping steering wheel with radio controls, a center console, power mirrors, windows and door locks, remote keyless entry, a Blaupunkt AM/FM radio with in-dash 6-disc CD changer and a trip computer.

There's nothing quite like the Pontiac GTO. It has a tradition and a style all its own, plus a performance package that easily silences any naysayers.
