The GTO is distinguished by revised taillamp styling. The taillamp background is now gloss black instead of red. There is also a new 18-inch wheel design with bright spokes that further identifies the model.
Performance is at the heart of the GTO. A 6.0-liter V8 produces an impressive 400 horsepower and 400 lb.-ft. of torque. A four-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission is standard, while a six-speed manual transmission is optional. The awesome powertrain is capable of propelling the GTO from 0-60 in 4.7 seconds and 13-second quarter mile times.
All that power is matched by the equally impressive stopping power from a four-wheel disc performance braking package featuring vented front rotors, solid rear rotors and bright red calipers with the GTO logo. A four-channel ABS system is standard.
