Trey Herrera bro I have a2 door Tahoe im trying to boost I just bought a lm7 5.3 want to boost cheaply but also reliable
Like your videos I’m also from the mile high city
What kind of bottom number do you have? Also, the latches that are shown,are those functional?
bowlingballmagic i don’t know what your asking, can you reword the question
Wouldn't mind getting one in mint condition... id pay upwards of 15 - 20k for it
Pontiac GTO and G8 were winners/ beautiful cars....GM should had kept Pontiac and shuddered Buick
Thank you!!
Buick was also a number 1 seller in China. There was no way they were getting rid of it
So true
Pontiac had nothing to do with them their a rebadged holden

Buying a GTO in 2019 in about 12 hours!!
that guy How is it so far?
@AKAT1980 ikr these comments are always like that maybe he'll let us know 5 or 10 years from now 😂
I purchased my 04 about 5 months ago and have no regrets smile on my face every second I see it and drive it!! Stored for winter though because crappy MN.
Found my GTO in 2020, I fell in love with it. I was always into the Firebird/hawk. Honestly I still have my Fbody but it’s going a different route. GTO is a surprisingly comfortable car.
Just got mines last month. Been waiting 15 yrs to get it. It's in the shop for a bumper fix and painting of the lower rear valence. Definitely loving it!
I'm in Westminster and have had my 04 since 2016. Absolutely love it!
I bought a new 2005 6 speed Yellow Jacket in 2006, as my weekend summertime muscle toy! I always wanted a 1970 GTO, but for the performance of the '05 I figured that it is, hands down, the better car! Someone will have to pry the key out of my hand before I will ever give it up! It's still stock except for the Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, on its 2nd battery, air filter replacement, and a 2nd set of wiper blades. It is still scary fast as it was brand new, with only 37,400 miles on it now! I saw only one other '05 or '06 Goat in Minnesota in 2018, and that was during the Car Craft show at the Minnesota State Fair Grounds. I stopped at Famous Dave's BBQ and when I came out there was a Torrid Red Goat parked nose to nose with mine.
Been dailying my 04 for almost 11 years. I'm STILL lovin it!!
Mine is retired from daily duty, but I've had it for 11 years as well. Still gets love when I bring it out, from the people that know what it is at least.
How many miles do you have on it? Daily for 11 years sounds like a lot of miles.
@@sweetlowfatjesus9663 159,487. Replaced motor back in 2011.
@@richmcdowell what mielage did you replace the motor? And what happened to the original motor? My 04 has 112 miles on the original motor and still goin strong
@@sweetlowfatjesus9663 previous owner swapped a cam that was too aggressive for the factory valve train and broke the number 4 valve spring, causing the valve to hit the piston. Was sitting at a red light when it happened. 84k when it happened. The irony is the current motor feels stronger than the previous one.
Bought my 04 with 95k with perfect seats, and paint for $9500.
I haven't seen 1 cheaper in this shape since. I love it
14K for your GTO, I wunna cry, here in OZ they're getting upwards of 40K. Becoming very rare in Australia, especially our vz 2006 model. I'm 61 yr old and modified my lsa commodore to 700 rwhp. Love the vids👍👍👍👍👍
Clifford Loraine I got a 04 GTO all stock
It’s a total beast and a great sleeper
The closest car we have here(NYC) to the commode is the G8 GT which has the LS2
6 liter. There is the Chevy SS with the LS3
but it’s a very rear car
My friend travis has a Gto for 10k but we in californa san diego
Thanks for the video Trey. I bought an '06 Manual GTO new for 28K off the showroom floor. I would also mention the Ripshifter, Fast ratio steering rack purchased through the website LS!GTO. and my personal favorite, the Peddar's Street II suspension package which REALLY helped the mushy suspension. I kept the engine stock as it was already faster than I am. Mine has only 84K miles as of 01/19. I LOVE my GTO!!! Thank you again!!!
Great Video!
Have owned an 06 Cyclone Grey Gto for 8 years, and agree w/ everything he said.
Bought mine for 16250 w/ 48k miles. Now at 76,1 k miles. Bone stock, other than rims and Eibach coils.
Only issues: water pump replacement, and radiator (punctured from hitting a rock).
SAN JOSE, CA
Dude where have you been? I just discovered this channel and I love it. I bought a GTO after i got smoked by one in an RX8. I get flashbacks about my GTO struggle when you talk about yours. Keep up the good work!!!
I brought my barbatos blue gto in 2004 I still drive it on weekends here in fl. Love your video and support for the goat!
So cool to see you guys enjoying our cars as an Aussie, American muscle cars are where its at!!
After trying to buy one for 2-3yrs Finally bought one last Month 04 M6 & i love it everyday that i drive it, best car i have owned
Good video! I bought my 2004 Cosmos Purple GTO 6sp in late February 2005. Car was my daily driver rain, sun or snow till I retired in Sept. 2016. Everytime I fire it up and drive it just makes me smile, I love it. I was 13 when the first GTO came out and tgst car was more subdued in looks than this Holden based GTO. The 5.7 in stock form has plenty of power unless you want to run every other new factory hot rod.
Picked up an 04 about 2 months ago. Already had all the bolt on goodies with 102xxx miles. Kooks full header back, x pipe exhaust. X-Air intake. Aftermarket MAF. Sounds amazing. Drives amazing. Love it. And thats coming from the German side and owning a 944 for 10 years. 😉
I love my 06' GTO, currently converting into the Australian Holden Monaro.
Sleepers by Nature.
The Monaro aesthetics are timeless ...GM actually got it right for once ...and then they canned it. What were they thinking?!!
I purchased my 2004 GTO about six months ago. I get so many compliments on this car!! They are rare. I've only seen a handful of them where I live in Santa fe, New Mexico. In the winter it stays parked for the most part. My Acura is front-wheel drive and has traction control so I use this car in the winter. Love my GTO it turns heads. Thanks for all your insight on these cars appreciate very much!! Enjoy your LS2 and I will enjoy my LS1!!!!
Colorado Springs GTO owner Here. your vids are why i got mine!
Oscar Beltran that’s what’s up HMU on insta
Bought my '05 CGM (Cyclone Gray Metallic) new. Best car ever! LS2 power and with a back seat to boot!
bought an 05 in 2021. building a 70 in my garage. keep making the GTO goodness.
Been daily driving my 04 gto since i got it about 3 months ago and not once i ever had a thought go through my head about regretting buying this car. Absolutely love this car.
Picked up a 06 M6 2yrs ago and its been my best pals ever since. Every N.A upgrade done and a bigger LS3 block with ported heads and BTR cam. 480whp.
Got my M6 04 PBM GTO about 6 months ago and slowly doing things but first got it all maintained and finally starting to get performance parts, just ordered the mgwp short shifter last week👍 Love the videos!
just got mine last week, red on red longtube headers, cold air intake, corsa exhaust, one peice driveshaft, drag springs and shocks and a vengence racing dyno tune with a freshly built trans and stall converter by a reputable shop locally. flawless interior 10,800 bucks. best money i've ever spent! such a blast to drive.
I've had my 04 for a couple of years. Great car. Fun to drive. Power at any speed. Alot of fun on the twisty roads in idaho. Has a cold air intake and a mild chip. Still getting around 30 mpg when I can keep my foot out of it. 😎
I'm working on it man. Test drove a brand new one in 05 and was hooked. Getting that credit right as I type.
I recently bought a 06 GTO M6. Absolutely love it!
I've had mine for four years; I have mine put away for the winter, but I am looking forward to getting it back on the street and testing out my upgraded suspension!
Sold my GOAT...worst decision of my life...need to find balance in life again, gotta get her back
Love your GTO, keep up the good work & be safe!
I miss my “06 Torrid Red with two-tone interior & Magnuson TVS1900, but black ice took it away from me to that Pontiac playground in the heavens last year! A 2011 dry sump GS Corvette took its place!!!
That is so sad to hear. May he RIP.
Almost 15 years with my 2004. Some mods, intake\tune with factory Holden tail-lights and rear spoiler delete. Only 67k miles and now is my daily driver after 8 years as weekend car. Best car I ever own. Will drive it till dies. Still turns heads at work. Here in Minnesota its rare.
Thanks nice ride! Great video. Bought an 04 black 6sp last year 46000 miles probably paid to much but i love it!
2004 GTO Bud and I own Mustangs but love my Goat. 213,000 miles of trouble free driving !
I'm looking for a secondary car just to play with and for fun and I'm going for a gto. I have a brand new truck but i need a affordable muscle car with comfort so this is it. Thanks for helping me with the decision man
I just got my 05 silver 6.0 two days ago I'm so excited and I'm gonna get a lot of knowledge from your videos thanks man! Also subscribed today lol
I've owned my 2006 M6 Spice Red GTO for 10 years. I also own a 2013 C6 427. I like the Vette but the Goat is my first love. To each his/her own; I like mine.
I just bought my 2006 GTO 6 speed cyclone grey metallic. When I was 19 I worked as a wash boy at a Pontiac gmc dealer here in central Pennsylvania back in 2006. We were allocated one phantom black metallic 6 speed car with the red interior. When I tell you I instantly fell in love with the car. I dreamed and prayed almost every day. Marriage, college and children came first. To my next point years would go by before I would see one in person, well end of September there is a apple festival with a car show in Franklin pa. I seen a silver 2004 gto speed. Had all the 2006 bits to make it look like a 2006, but a beautiful car. I said to my wife did you ever want something so bad, but you would feel guilty if you got it. My wife pushed me to buy the car just this past October about two weeks after the car show. She found it! She goes hunny if you don't buy the car now, you never will. Its everything I've ever dreamed about. One owner, 6 speed rare color, it checked all the boxes. Its staying stock and preserved. A very unapreaciated car. People would only understand once they drove one. You can tell they weren't built in the states that's for sure.
The Goat derives from a german sedan platform. It's a coupe version of the Opel Omega. The Opel Omega was also imported to the U.S. for a few years as the Cadillac Catera. The GTO even shares some parts with the European Cadillac catera. The quality of it was ahead of its time. Most American cars did not catch up until after 2012-13. It doesn't feel like an American car because really the chassis is German. The styling was inspired by wind tunnel testing at Autobahn speeds.
you have a wonderful wife. very cool.
👍Awesome story!!!
Anywhere near Franklin county pa?
@@wvawater Myself. No Clearfield county.
I’ve had two
An 04 QSM A4 and a 06 QSM M6
Pros: cheap to mod, aftermarket heaven, Good platform.
Cons: No tire width whatsoever...275’s rub, and you’d have to mini tub it to get something decent back there.
Rack and pinion leaks known issue with these. Seats rip over time
I bought my 2004 GTO new in 2004 and still love it today. One of the best cars ever IMO.
Bought my Holden Monaro ‘05 CV8 new and still love the drive. I left her totally stock so, all it’s cost me in 15 years is tyres and a couple of batteries. I can’t ever see myself getting rid of it. I mean, why would I?
Great videos Trey! Cheers mate 👍
Hi . Im in UK Got Myself a Monaro VXR 6.0 .Same Shape as The GTO CV8 .Picked Mine Up 2 years ago 4 11k 29 250 on the Clock . Long Live The V8 . Your Vids are Great
Been in love with these since they were new.
Great video man, I’ve always loved the ‘04-‘06 GTO’s too. Very surprised that once they were brought back by GM their production didn’t last longer than it did, then again I don’t know how well they sold at the time either.
I have 06 phantom black metallic I bought 4 years ago and now I just bought a 04 cosmos purple metallic. They are awesome cars and never get old
This video made me miss my old gto i had an 04 and i loved it these cars are so under rated
I am in Colorado also,i have a 05 GTO.. and i love it !!!!
Just bought an 04 GTO back in October. 1 owner, 41k miles. My first foray into this deal. Picked it up for 15k. It looks brand new and drives like a dream. Loving it, but I'm not "daily"ing it.
I've loved the gto since 2005 ,most beautiful car ever
Bought an 04 3 years ago from the original owner with 18k for mileage and bought for 13k. Black with red leather and completely stock. Love the sleeper look and mustang owners all always take time to look. A fun car to drive. No regrets.....
my 04 makes me so glad i got one. I did all the bolt ons ive wanted so far and its such a fun car for now and can go way crazier in the future. LSA one day.
Bought my 06 couple months back, had been looking for one for a while !!! Love this things specially because you don’t see them much like other muscle cars, been asked several times “ what type of car is that” 🤣 !!!
Awesome video bro, I'm going to go look at an 04 tomorrow hoping everything good on it so I can become a part of the gto fam!
I've had my gto for about less then 6 months and I love everything about it(other then gas) and its amazing its fast, sounds great, comfy, reliable, good looking, rare too, and affordable to get I'm paying a good amount for it every month and it's a great price. I just l love that feel of the wheels going and then the car burning rubber (mind you I'm 18 and with 400hp) it's all around a great car with plenty to modify or just keep it as a sleeper the best part is that it's unique to see one every week or so I haven't seen one in a month or more and not many people know what it can do until you lay the hammer down and take off. 12/10 would get another later in life or a G8 they are sexy af!!!
Awesome video bro, nice car and I've always loved GTO s
I bought mine new in 2006, 25k. I have 50k miles on it now and still love it! Especially when you don't see them everywhere...
I bought my 04 12 years ago for 12K it only has 77,000 miles on it. I did cam, long tube headers with magnaflow exhaust and a tune. I still love it!
Just bought my second 04 for $17k with 18k miles on it. Mint condition.
Great Video, I bought an 04 GTO with 34,000 miles on it stock!
I've had my 2005 red on red GTO for 10 years now, and I wouldn't want it any other way!!
Literally just bought my 04 GT0 today all stock , I’ve been watching videos on them for the past few days and finally decided to go get one! Don’t know much about what kinda work I should start putting into it but hopefully watching some videos help
In love with my 2004 GTO T56. New headers, xpipe, and tune getting put on very soon.
I'm looking, great video!!!
I got mine last summer 2005 silver 6 speed 43000 miles 15k love it!
I'm in the same boat as you looking at a Corvette but thinking about going the GTO route!!!
Although I love the GTO's I had to go with the G8 (I've got young ones) The GTO's look awesome and have more hp stock than G8. But after cam and a few other mods I've got a 400 wheel hp grocery getter. Maybe in future I will find a southern GTO and build it. Thanks for the videos. Keep them up.
Subbed and going through your videos.
10/2/21 bought an 04 a4 black/red.
I wanted a car that I don’t see everywhere. It’s an amazing car.
Thank you for the videos. So many things I want to do to my '06.
I’m a look into one as will!!! Pontiac GTO is a beautiful car, I’m from the Bay I don’t see them as much
Used to have an 05 myself. Great platform!
Planning on picking my first one up this week
My 06 is full bolt ons and 6 speed with only 60k and i love it i drive it everywhere and everybody enjoys the car
I have an 04 with a 5.7 and I wouldn't trade it for anything. I absolutely love mine. It goes have it's quirks but it is an absolute beast.
Yes Trey I just bought my sons 05 with Texas Speed upgrades
Picked up a 2006 with under 16000 miles, love this car!! This car is like off the showroom floor!!
I sometimes hate my goat but I always know if I'm having a bad it will at least bring a smile to my face.
Trey , that's a great GTO and our GTO is all black and you can see how fast it is and there are flames on our valve covers while my hungry hubby takes a ride to Red Lobster. My hubby cant type so I will reply for him. Love Kathy
Great video bro I’m going to buy mines in 2 months will post videos and everything . I’ve loved this car every since I discovered it .
Purchased a 2004 GTO and having fun so far. Currently, working on getting the diff bushings replaced, but have some more work to do as well.
Fun fact for the 04-06 gto lovers... in 97 Cadillac did come out with a sports Cadillac called the Catera. Cadillac was actually going to make a high performance version of the catera called the steinmetz. But because of all the issues with the catera they shut everything down in 2001. 3 years later they rebranded it to a Pontiac and out came the GTO and if you look at the 2 cars side by side, the 97 catera basically looks like the GTO. And CTS actually stands for catera touring sedan. Figured I would share that since you said it’s like having a performance Cadillac when you were talking about the comfort.
Its funny to see that the GTO's are going down in price in the states, meanwhile in Aussie land the CV8Z's are climbing in price because it's the last of its kind. Great vids
Knew a guy in the Army that had a red GTO with a bit of work and I feel you!
Test drove one today and hopefully buying one tomorrow your vids have definitely helped persuade me!
Update please?
@@hughmungus2624 i did not buy the one i test drove but another one the next day ! I got a 06 brazen orange 6speed had it almost a month now and absolutely love it! It gets looks everywhere i drive it!
Glad to hear you got a great car! Favorite color tbh, hope it gives you lots of smiling miles!
Thanks for the shout-out Trey! Keep up the good work!! You made me miss my GTO with this video.
Boost District how difficult is it to spin the blower harder on your kits? Kind of seems like the pulley setups are the limiting factors. I know there’s a lot of discussion about pulley alignment and what not on corvettes. Haven’t really seen anything over 650rwhp with a lsa blower swap, obviously ctsv and zl1s can make way over that amount but I’m talking about gto, camaros, vettes etc.
slow vette the upper pulleys usually are 2.45 with a stock balancer should put you closer to 10psi depending on your set up. If you go a 10% overdrive balancer you can get it up to 13-14psi before having to change to the ctsv drive
Hell yeah! Yours was sick too!
Trey Herrera Yea for corvettes I know there’s an alignment issues so idk if there’s enough groves on the overdrive pullies to offset the belt. I know for gen1 ctsvs this is good option because I don’t think many supercharger companies make blower kits for them. For vettes I don’t think this is a good option, centrifugal superchargers rule that market. What heat exchanger comes with the boostdistrict kit? Stock zl1/ctsv?
slow vette you will have to contact roshon on the heat exchangers.
Ls1 bobcat 421hp package 176mph in 5th with plenty legs and a gear left. Ran out of runway. Brakes are not designed to stop this beast at those speeds.
Word of advice as I am on my second gto. Steering is intentionally slow for high speeds so if your car kicks and you steer into the slide, it may come out of the slide faster than you can force the wheels to turn back..... hence the ditch... light pole.... brick garage... spit forehead... broken rib...
Practice steering the opposite when it kicks back and 360 her. Donut.... saved me 3 times.
She's low and it'll drop your momentum.
It's a beast
The second you don't respect it, it'll kill ya.
Been Searching for the perfect near stock Gto in brazen orange for a couple months now.
Hopefully soon good video thanks dude!
Fellow gto owner. Single turbo. Yesterday on nitto nt05r drag radials I ran 11.20 @125 on low boost. Broke the output shaft in the trans. Car is a heavy bitch but it’s super comfortable. Love mine.
Just bought one a few months ago
I love it so far
I purchased a blue 2005 with blue interior, in May of 05. I don't daily drive it any more, but when I do it instantly makes me feel good, it is a fun car to drive.
Dean R I’m in the same boat
I have the same! Bought it out of Dallas in 2016 and I've taken her through 9 states already. She makes me smile everytime I turn on the engine
...had a ‘06 Torrid Red A4 with red/black interior & a Maggie, loved the car, but I love my ‘11 Z06 much more. main reason I cut my losses was because GM discontinued many of the replacement parts, weatherstripping, trim, interior parts, etc.
I was 20 when they came out. I loved them. Wish they were around longer
Hope to see your car around this summer if your in CO. I have a 04 CPM
I stay in CO too. I just bought a 05 gto for 4k . The engine is shot. But I plan on rebuilding this beast.
20 seconds into the video & I subscribed 😂 whatta clean car
04 Barbados Blue, 56k on the odometer. So much potential on these cars. Nice to have something different then the typical Mopar,Camaro, mustang. Just my opinion.. Keep up the great CONTENT man..
Gto Jay very true! When I go to meets or cars and coffee I’m usually the only one with a Gto there
One of the rare colors out of the five..nice
good video, though I have not seen the low prices for a 05-06 GTO in good condition that you speak of. in fact, I have seen a chart from Hagerty that shows average sale prices rising, not falling, but that is actually a reason to buy in 2019, they can be bought for reasonable and if maintained and taken care of, probably sell for more than paid, a rare car indeed.
Nice lookin' GTO. Sounds great.
