GTO. No other name in automotive history says “muscle car” like those three letters. Now the legend is back.
Its unique personality includes impressive cornering abilities, a smooth ride and surprising comfort. But the heart of the GTO is a 5.7L LS1 V-8 engine, also known as the base powerplant for the Chevrolet Corvette. Seventeen-inch alloy wheels and performance tires are matched to a fully independent, performance-tuned suspension featuring direct-acting stabilizing bars and power rack-and-pinion steering. Traction control and a limited slip differential are standard. The GTO revs through six forward speeds with the close-ratio manual transmission, or you can choose a four-speed Hydra-Matic. Both come with a 3.46:1 final drive ratio.
Every detail, from the satin-finish steering wheel to the race-inspired metallic pedals, gives the driver a sense of performance. The standard feature list starts off with leather 2+2 bucket seats, in black or color-coordinated with the vehicle’s exterior color. The high-tech seats provide lateral support, wrapping around the driver and front passenger and complementing the great handling characteristics of the chassis.
Also standard is a six-disc CD-changer with premium 10-speaker sound system, cruise control, a multi-function driver information center, keyless entry system and a host of other features to enhance the driving experience.
