This is definitely not your typical 2005 GTO. Lurking underneath
the unsuspecting body is a drive train that will challenge anything
else on the street! First though, lets start with the body and
history of this GTO. With only two owners since it was purchased
new, this car has only turned just over 9,600 miles and is in
excellent shape both inside and out. The Silver paint is in
excellent shape and matches the mostly stock black interior very
well. This is where the stock components end though. The heart and
soul of this GTO is the stroked 402 cubic inch LS2 V8 pushing over
670 horsepower to the rear wheels! The internals consist of
Compstar crank & H-beam rods, Wiseco pistons, and a Flowtech custom
camshaft. Hardened pushrods going up to Scorpion 1.7 roller rockers
that are mounted to a set of high flowing AFR 225 heads equipped
with gen 4 valve springs top the short block off very nicely. The
icing on the cake though is the MP122HH Magnacharger supercharger
equipped with a 1:1 rear pulley and a 3" ECS ribbed pulley on the
front pushing 9 PSI of boost. The MSD blast coils and wires
connected to NGK TR-6 plugs ensure a strong and consistent spark
every time and the 80lb injectors make sure it is fed sufficiently.
Letting all of that power breathe is a set of Kooks 1 7/8" long
tube headers connected to Kooks catted mid-pipe, and flowing out
the back is a Borla catback kit providing a very healthy sound. To
plant all of this power though, you need an equally built
transmission so the 6-speed had underwent a stage 3 transmission
strengthening build including a SPEC stage 3 clutch and light
weight steel flywheel, a Tick performance clutch master cylinder
and bleed line, and up top a Billet Productions pro short shifter.
The transmission is hooked up to a BMR carbon fiber drive shaft and
billet axle stubs. Finally moving on to the suspension (which of
course was not left stock) is the Hotchkis front and rear sway bars
with Pedders heavy duty Front end links and SLP bushings in the
rear for added stability. A Noltec cross member, differential
insert, and radius rod bushings to plant the power and reduce wheel
hop. Koni adjustable shocks and struts have been added to adapt the
ride as you please. This GTO is an absolute animal and has been
built very well. This GTO will not disappoint and has would cost a
significant amount more to build one up similar to this. So if you
are looking for a turn key 650+HP car, look no further than this
2005 GTO! This vehicle is located in our Denver showroom. You can
