Vehicle Description
This is your chance to own the first year of the three-year limited
release Cosmos Purple Metallic GTO. With only 3 owners and 77,741
original miles, this LS1 powered GTO is sure to turn heads anywhere
you go. The GTO was assembled by GM's Holden subsidiary at
Elizabeth. It was equipped with the 5.7 liter LS1 V8 engine for the
2004 model year, the same engine found in the concurrent model year
Chevrolet Corvette, with a choice of a 6-speed manual transmission
or a 4-speed automatic. Changes from the Australian-built Monaro
included bracing additions to the body to meet U.S. crash
standards, a "corporate Pontiac" front facia, new badging, "GTO"
stitching on the front seats, and a revised exhaust system. GM
Engineers benchmarked the sound of the 1964 GTO held in the Pontiac
historical collection, as well as other LS1-powered vehicles, while
working with the exhaust vendor to tune the system. The effort was
made to make the new GTO invoke the same sound as the original
while still meeting the noise threshold required by some states.
The 2004 GTO exhaust was a true dual system that followed the
original Monaro exhaust routing, thus both tailpipes exited on the
driver side of the vehicle. General Motors claimed performance of
5.3 seconds to 60 and a 13.8 second quarter mile time, which was
closely verified by several magazine tests. To view the car in
