Does anyone happen to know the estimated or actual performance statistics for the 2005 GTO? (I.E. 0-60, 1/4 Mile, Skidpad, Slalom, etc.)

Thanks,

I did hear somewhere that 0-60 may be about 4.8-4.9 seconds. Not sure though.

They haven't published any numbers yet.

Just a guess:

0-60 in 4.9 seconds

1/4 mile in 13.3 @ 108 mph

Just a guess:

0-60 in 4.7 seconds

1/4 mile in 13.3 @ 108 mph

Sounds like a pretty good guess :cheers

My local dealer had a brochure - said 0-60 was 4.6 for auto, 4.8 for manual. I didn't look at the 1/4. the 05 corvette is said to do 0-60 in 4.4, if I remember correctly.

The 6 spd. manual is slower that the 4 spd auto?

How is it possible that an auto is faster than a manual???

Open throttle shifts?

Yep. That's not too uncommon these days - the auto shifts faster, and if there's traction control, that'll help the auto lauch better. Plus the auto has taller gearing, so it may reach 60 in 1 less gear than the manual. I'd never buy an auto though - I enjoy shifting gears.

Here are some stats I saw for the '05s.

Those look like some good numbers. I just hope they translate to the real thing.
