GTO

After being all but an afterthought in Pontiac showrooms, sales of the rear-drive GTO sports coupe increased last year as the car added hood scoops and a more powerful engine. The GTO is built in Australia by GM's Holden subsidiary, where a less-sporty version is sold as the Monaro. The car's LS2 V-8 generates 400 horsepower with 395 lb-ft of torque, and can be mated to an electronically controlled four-speed automatic transmission; a six-speed manual gearbox is the car's only option. A split dual-exhaust system adds an ominous rumble to the GTO. A limited slip differential, three-channel traction control system, and four-wheel-disc anti-lock brakes come standard, along with a sport-tuned suspension for tenacious handling abilities. Inside its cockpit-styled cabin, leather bucket seats are installed in both the front and rear, and a standard premium audio system comes with a six-disc in-dash CD changer. The '06 GTO is distinguished by revised taillamp styling, which now features a black background instead of red. Two new colors - Fusion Orange and Spice Red - are added to the list as are updated 18-inch wheels.

How does an old-school coupe make it in the day of the hot hatch? Big power, that's how.
