This car was built and tuned for big power with the best fuel economy for daily driving (22mpg City/27mpg Highway). This GTO performs at every level, but achieving this came with a price. Over $10000 has been invested into APS Twin Turbo kit including fuel system and bucket mod`s to make this a truly incredible car. Time to get off your butt and buy a car.

Stuffed full of 6.0 litres of Chevrolet muscle, pumping out 400 HP in stock trim routed through a 6 speed manual transmission. That's right you gotta shift her. Often. If you don't know how to handle your stick or don't have the leg strength to push in a clutch pedal then don't come around wanting to take her out on the road. You can skip on down to your local 'yota dealer and test drive a Prius. To be clear, if the fastest thing you have ever ridden in is your V-tec Civic or your bro's SVT Focus or Mustang- you should probably click the back button now. Your mommy won't like cleaning out the extra stains in your shorts. On the other hand, if you are searching for a clean, darn near new, low mile GTO to call your own then you should read on. This baby mostly stays in the garage, No one has ever eaten anything or smoked inside her. She has never been in rain, snow, sleet, or any inclimate weather. Heck, I rarely bring her out when it's cloudy - but she does love the sunshine! This is a 2005, the second to last year GTO EVER. The GTO badge, as well as the Pontiac brand, are long gone. She is a rare breed. Here are some numbers to wrap your head around - Total GTO's produced 04-06 = 40,754. Total One`s Impulse Blue, black interior, Blue gauges 6 speed, 17" wheels = 160 - makes her one of 160. Yup, only 159 others like her anywhere. OK, is she fast? Oh yeah! White knuckle ride right from the factory.And when the turbos spool up look out Remember this is a low mileage high performance car only driven on Sundays by a little old man getting groceries. |

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative
Tue, 29 Oct 2013How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?
2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.
