The rear-drive GTO is a slightly modified Holden Monaro, a car produced by GM's Australian subsidiary.
It uses a version of the Corvette's 6.0-liter V8 engine that produces 400 hp.
The GTO competes primarily with the redesigned Ford Mustang.
In our testing we found the GTO quick, and the engine sounds and feels muscular.
Handling isn't overtly sporty, but it is entertaining at its limits for driving enthusiasts.
The manual shifter isn't slick, and the clutch is heavy.
The ride is fairly compliant.
The seats are comfortable, and the interior has good fit and finish.
2006 was the last year for the GTO.
