'05 GTO acceleration compilation

[jtsnooks]

@crestlinersuperhawk Good point, thank for pointing that out.

[waposgto]

hay bro for evry one out ther that wants to lern if you dont know

well ya bro your shifting is a lil slow but its ok when you exsellarate 1 gaer hold it down a lil like your gonna shift this way wright when you push the cluch it goes strait in 2 and same for 3erd tell me how it goes for you i have an 04 goat m6

[reedjsupra]

@waposgto

Wait... wut?

[jtsnooks]

@am0361 Thanks, but I'm all good now. Watch some of my other videos ;)

[Camaromandave98]

People love to complain, i don't see where your a bad driver..

Sweet gto man love the color, im used to only seeing silver and black ones down here and rarely red...

[Coopdogg360]

3rd GEAR sorry :)

[Coopdogg360]

Your second run was good but I really wanted 3rd

[pinezes14peiraeus]

good car but na good driver !!!

[wke4estguy]

Um, learn how to shift...

[Magyar1212]

That's Bad Shifting!

[WretchedDrake]

@Magyar1212 No shit it's bad, he says in the description he's not a very good driver (most likely learning how to shift)

[Magyar1212]

@WretchedDrake Sorry. You're born, or what? A little confused about what you wrote. I do not understand!

[rhomdizzale2]

Ur right about the 13.3 but the best i could get out of mine with stock tires was a 13.6 not bad.

[XSixty8CaliberX]

same with me, but i spent 360$ on exhaust and 370$ on intake and shaved off half a second- 12.7 at 111 mph. Stock tires. Thinkin about getting the new Hankook ventus RS-3 tires. they look SWEET.

[EastCoastWhiteBoy]

yea not very smooth shifts but bad ass ride gotta love the GTO

[Raidermania18]

yep he's new to the stick

[sort117]

Did u mean on the stick?

[austingore44]

7 second 0-63

[Punchinelli]

You need let off the gas quicker when you shift. The GTO is a tough car to learn for someone who doesn't have a lot of experience with stick so I don't blame you at all. But you gotta let off the gas when you shift or you'll burn the clutch out.  Good luck man!

[Alexsered]

wow, new to the stick shift?

[dustin1441]

which one?

[turbospanky1]

nice goat good luck with you upgrade you know you will lol never to fast

[kief4diamonds]

and when i say 5 days i mean 1 cuz i could not wait to stretch her legs...

[jtsnooks]

Nah, many have run high-12s bone stock on stock tires. 13.3 is a magazine editor type time.

[kief4diamonds]

well good with my diablo tune loudmouth 1 slightly wider tires (8.5) headers and intake along with 06 tailights im sure ill be pleased...i dont have to be the fastest...just faster than the other 80%

[GUMMYBEAYUH]

@jtsnooks That's the same case with my Altima SE-R. Magazines often quote a 1/4 mile time in the High-14's, but most guys I know regularly push Low-14's, and some even get High-13's in it (Bone stock).

[kief4diamonds]

ive had my 05 two days now and im shifting better than that....just saying...you should practice a little more before you do that shit...i drove around in the rain for 5 days before it was even dry enough to lay the hammer down..i also got pulled over tonite...learn well from me.

[jtsnooks]

Thanks for the advice. Let me know when you run a 12-second quarter mile stock on the crappy stock 17" tires. I've improved a little since then, this isn't my only video on Youtube ;)

[workitgti]

I think it's a 13.3 stock. no complaints though... I'm new to the GTO game and have no clue how to drive a rear wheel drive :-)

[japanther18]

You just need to work on your shifting a little bit, it all comes in time.

[Ls1Willis]

you are a pretty good driver you just need work in third gear

[nsurge]

The drive by was tits, nice one...

[r0nd3l]

Youtube comments always amaze me....

Nice car jtsnooks. I have a slow 2004...

[jtsnooks]

Thanks, r0nd3l, I know who you are. Love your car, looks great.

[Litturatus]

What exhaust set up were you running in the vid?

[jtsnooks]

That was the SAP exhaust, basically just the mufflers/tips are different from the normal LS2 exhaust. It was bent up in an accident and I've got a different setup now.

[mooshaaaa]

wow are u talking about the one comin in 2010?? well yea it looks real sexy. it almost reminds of an audi look though. but still very nice

[mooshaaaa]

k i see. gosh dumb latino914 makin me all mad haha well i think the gto still look much better than g8. those look to luxurious to me

[jtsnooks]

Well thanks. I'll admit that if they bring out a coupe version of the G8 (search for Coupe 60 concept) and it's not significantly heavier than the GTO, I'll buy one immediately. It looks dead sexy.

[mooshaaaa]

k i didnt know they discontinued this car??? wy??

[jtsnooks]

It was only planned to be a 3-year run because the new version of the platform came out in 2007. The new version of the platform is for sale in the US as the G8, and the new Camaro is based on the new platform as well. So it wasn't exactly "discontinued", its platform was replaced.

[latino914]

im glad they discontinued the piece of shyt car

[jtsnooks]

Back for another round of getting your butt kicked all over the internet, eh? I'm glad people like you don't like the GTO, it keeps them out of the hands of idiots.

[latino914]

i guess most people in the world are idiots then n just the amazingly stupid ones that own em

[jtsnooks]

That doesn't even make sense, but thanks for trying.

[latino914]

just like it doesnt make sense to buy one

[Sololo15]

You're not very intelligent, are you?

[liljnice85]

smart enough not to buy one, smart for gm to discontinue the car since it wasn't making any sales, but just so stupid to ever have produce the car

[red70tvhs]

Part 2. But I will agree they are cousins somewhat do the aussie american cross breeding and rebadgeing and stuff like that lol They are related but I believe the GTO is a breed in its own along with the Monaro. You are the one driveing in the Vid Correct?

[jtsnooks]

Yes I am the one driving (poorly). The GTO/Monaro were built off of the same chassis as the previous generation Commodore. The new Commodore (G8) is based off of the Zeta platform, and if there is a new Monaro/GTO it will be based off of the same platform as well, just like the previous generation was.

[red70tvhs]

ah yes i understand what your saying now. I apologize for the mix up haha. Sorry brain lag lol First day off in three weeks. Ah dont sweat the poor drivein thing uve prolly got better and i've seen alot worse XD.

[rocky440]

i'm sorry, but this dude can't drive

[jtsnooks]

I agree, I'm embarrassed to have this video on YouTube, really, but it does bring back memories. I've gotten much better since then.

[rocky440]

Haha, i know how ya feel, i got a 02 Gt, so much fun, 5 speed, you get better and better every day!

[apollyon0810]

I'll still take my WS6 over a GTO. My buddy just got an '04 GTO, and I do love it. But I like the "heritage" of my car better I guess. The new GTO is great, but shares nothing but a name with the old GTO's. Jealous of the 05-06 GTO's with the LS2. Wanna get an LS3 crate to freshen up my 01' T/A.

[jtsnooks]

Hey Latino, were you the guy in the Honda farting all over the highway that I completely destroyed yesterday?

I'm glad this video is so popular, even though it shows how crappy of a driver I was when I first got the car :)

[torquemaster]

btw latino guy-you really have no clue. i dont know why everyone like you thinks a raggedy little pop fartin turbo pieces of shit ricer car is so superior. it bugs me that alot of guys are gettin "brainwashed" into this culture. i must be one of those "dumbasses" that bought your "pos" gto, with no issues, but yet its not "perfect" like your evo. all cars i dont care if they are german, exotic or whatever have faults from the factory, even yours. go ahead, burn up your turbo in 20,000 miles.

[torquemaster]

latino914: you are part of that shitty ricer culture that thinks imports are superior to everything. go suck up monkey see monkey do, spin the I4's 11,000 rpms,we are god,that's typical ricer mentality,youre the type that thinks if a bike had 4 wheels screaming at 15,000 rpms would be superior to any car. there are 1,200+hp and higher turbo gto's out there with susp mods that would crush any street driven modded import including your stupid mighty 2jz supra. btw,your superior evo is crap too...

[MRGTO2005]

Good run. Might be better with the a/c off. Now for latino,the GTO is pure Muscle Car, fastest from the show room, big fan of the '70 model, nuf said! Car and Driver stated that the car would only be sold for 3 yrs. If it comes back great! If not, I have my 05 yjm, weekend car, drive it like I stole it, bought it new for $27.4K, that is stored in the winter in MN! If it one day appricates in value 10 times the MSRP, it will be The Great One once again! If it does not, it's great any way!!

[benanddavidproduct]

nice goat man!

[SparkZ1420]

I AGREE evos suck!

[TheBiggsta]

Seriously don't diss the GTO. I myself wasnt a fan of it but when my friend bought a '04 and took me for a ride, it changed my mind real quick. I guess you can say the GTO is a european body car with a corvette engine.

BTW Pontiac isn't giving up on these V-8 monsters, im looking out for a G-8

[jtsnooks]

The G8 is going to be awesome, I'll be test driving a G8 GT when it comes out.

[americanmuscle2]

latino shut up plzz your makeing an ass of yourself i have an 05 gto and i had no problems with it and it has 62,000 miles on it it's a great car it's not like your gonna find a mustang or camaro with 400hp stock or a good sports car like the gto that has room in the back for 2 full grown men 2 sit or good gas mileage i bet if u bought i gto u would change your mind about it and how would u know if it's a good car or not if you have never owend 1 so just shut up.

[latino914]

ok if it was such a great car then why was it discontinued bescuase 1 out of 1,000 were buying it and u were that 1, and if u like wasting gas then go head, to me it looks like shyt and always will, if i was to get a v8 it would b the charger

[tomkinsong]

I own an 05 GTO and like having a car that you don't see too often. 400 horses from a stock car is pretty respectable at this price and having a luxury cabin to use it in is sweet! Sure, the car doesn't have the typical muscle car looks but it's certainly no ugly pig either. The car is very european feeling to me - yet has that sledge-hammer power that the Yanks like to squeeze into their cars! The car may have had a short life over here but it's lived a lot longer in it's native country.

[jtsnooks]

I already told you, it was discontinued because it didn't meet new crash regulations for 2007, and with a new chassis coming out it didn't make sense to revamp it to sell it for one more year. As for the Charger, that's fine if you want something that's not faster, doesn't mod as well, has 4 doors, and doesn't have a manual transmission. Personally I prefer a manual transmission in my performance cars.

[emg32]

You truely are a moron. The GTO was not discontinued. It was only planned for a 3 year run just like GM did with the Impala in the 90's. Go buy a 4 door Charger and watch the GTO's tail lights. That is all you will ever have to look at.

Talk about a car that just has a name put on it. The new Charger is nothing like the older Chargers. It's a 4 door at that. There is more American Muscle and parts in the GTO than there is in most American cars assembled in the USA. Get over yourself.

[latino914]

the gto was made in Australia, whats so american about that, and personally i would never buy an american car

[emg32]

Cars these days have parts from all over the world regardless of where they are built or assembled. Who do you think builds most of the Japanese cars sold here in the USA? Americans do in plants here in the USA.

The GTO was built in Australia but alot of the parts on the GTO are from the USA. Probably alot more than vehicles that are actually built in the USA. Just because a car is from a foreign car maker or US car maker doesn't really mean anything these days. It's a worldwide market

[latino914]

most american cars are made in other countrys as well, like korea, china and other parts

[emg32]

Isn't that what I just stated. The auto market these days is worldwide.

[Ls1Willis]

that the people who made it are holden which is GM Division branch in australia . gm=american . gm=gto, gto=american . get ur facts right before you post stupid shit

[latino914]

gm= american lol most of gm parts and enignes and manufactured in china or korea

[Ls1Willis]

ok fine look ... if you (mrlatino) owns a car company and YOU are latino and you move your bussiness to pakistan, so that your cars can be made is it still your business or is it pakistans bussiness?? the business it yours so its a "latino" business . does that mean that as soon as it moves to pakistan, its pakistanian?? entiendes? no importa donde se hace el carro. si gm es el dueno de la corporation, no importa donde se fabrica los carros. siempre va a hacer GM

[latino914]

ok fine but im jus sayin gm is not 100% true american

[ag54981]

americans designed the gto

[pilot4life15]

pontiac made a mistake trusting the australians with the design of the gto except for the powerplant it dosent have the gto vib

[jtsnooks]

Retro sucks, sleepers rule.

[wce003]

god the Americans fucked over our good design and car. HOLDEN MONARO  not Pontiac "rip of an icon" GTO. what the hell is that grill. real bad.....

[jtsnooks]

Wow, someone's bitter. How about just being proud that your car was considered so good that that it could hold up to the name GTO? And you can thank the US market for the LS2, dual exhaust outlets (you have to admit that looks better than the single bumper), bigger brakes, and hood scoops (although you probably don't like those).

[latino914]

what a piece of shyt car it looks so ugly n doesnt turn any heads

[jtsnooks]

Good thing I didn't buy it for you then.

[oldsal30]

i bet u drive a piece of sht honda

[Sololo15]

that's why dumbasses like you drive performance cars with auto trannies...

[jtsnooks]

Oh I've gotten better. Check out my other videos, I got it down to a 12.94 in the 1/4. I admitted my shifting was horrible in the video ;)

[Sololo15]

No, jtsnooks I wasn't saying YOU'RE a dumbass. I was replying to latino914.

[TheGreatNate]

what an asshole

[thrashersk87654]

it does, my dad has 1 and all those old guys who remember their old cars stop 2 look at it. also all those kids who have a crap hondas from my school look and are like dude nice car when they see my driving it. i have a EVO 9 wit 340 hp to the wheels. which gets less turns and its an even more exotic looking car

[latino914]

its a fast car by by no means does it look nice whatsoever, its also discontinued, poor sells, all those crap hondas will outlast that gto, so which car is crap again? resale value.. Crap hondas>gto,

[jtsnooks]

Looks are based entirely on opinion, and it certainly looks better than a Civic. As for outlasting a GTO, I know plenty of GTOs that have gone over 100,000 miles (in only 4 years) and had 0 problems whatsoever. And did you REALLY just use resale value as a criteria for a performance car?? But for the sake of argument, considering these things still sell for $24k with more miles than mine, I'd say they're holding up just fine.

[latino914]

yup ur right thas why they discontinued them in only what 2-3 years

[jtsnooks]

I was planned as a 3-year only run, since the platform was being discontinued and replaced with a brand new one. Keep it up, you're making yourself look really smart.

[latino914]

smart enough not to buy a pos shyt gto, and smart enough for gm to stop making those cars cuz they werent selling for shyt

[jtsnooks]

So if a smart person doesn't buy a 400hp, 4-seat, RWD, 6-speed, IRS car with full leather interior and 6-disc CD changer for $32k new, then what DOES a smart person buy? Can you get 400hp for 32k from any other vehicle new? How about 12-second 1/4 mile passes? All with a comfy cushy leather interior?

[latino914]

how bout an evo that handles better, gets better gas mileage, u can drive in the snow easily, looks better, but hey thats just what i would do if i had the money and u can easily tell that if the gto was such a good deal like u say it was then where are #'s that they sold, come on now GM knew what they had to do

[jtsnooks]

An evo handles better, I'll give you that. But it's also slower. There's no snow in GA, so that's a moot point. Looks are entirely subjective, but frankly I'd rather have a sleek coupe than a tarted-up 4-door econobox.

[latino914]

ok then ur just that 2 out of 10 that would opt for a gto over an evo, theres more 11 sec evos than there are gtos

[jtsnooks]

Really? Because I know a LOT of 11-second GTOs. Why even bring the EVO up? I doubt people looking at a 2-door grand tourer with a comfortable interior and ride are going to be cross-shopping a lightweight AWD harsh-riding 4-door. The GTO isn't a "sports car", it's a "GT car", I don't know why people try to say it's something it's not, and compare it to completely different categories of cars.

[latino914]

its a discontinued car that u need ta say bye 2, so long and good ridence

[jtsnooks]

Good point, you've changed my mind. I'm selling the car and buying an Evo.

Idiot.

[red70tvhs]

lmfao

[kgib13]

dude i don't know what ur talking about an evo for like its so high and mighty... dont get me wrong they are quick and have great handling but i prefer a drivers car... in a EVO everyone looks like a hero in them...why? because they car drives u .. so many computers and electronics on those cars the driving feel is very unnatural and therefore not as enjoyable

[3rdSuspension]

Even if EVO's were the fastest cars on the road, they are still FUCKING UGLY ASS PIECES OF RICER SHIT! Fucking ugly looking shits! period.

[latino914]

suck for u then cuz ur gonna continue to see them on the road not like the gto which any1 stupid would buy oh and u prbably wont even notice it as well

[3rdSuspension]

Bitch who the fuck are you to talk about cars without knowing shit. I build custom cars you faggot! Imports and Domestics, and trust me my "Latino" fagot friend, I know what I'm talking about and I know what is best.

EVO = Piece of shit on steroids, ugly as fuck! p.s. 300+ hp at the cost of what? 10000 RPM? fucking ricer!

[latino914]

well said get a life dude

[3rdSuspension]

GLAD YOU UNDERSTAND! and thank you I do have a live - Custom Car Builder!

[latino914]

thas great let me know when you wake up

[3rdSuspension]

Why do you want me to make breakfast for your Mom before I send her on her way or what..?

[latino914]

wat can u make breakfast just like u make custom cars lol

[3rdSuspension]

yup! sure can!

[utubin08]

mother fucker u have got to be a retard. U just said that if u but an 05 gto ur stupid. if i could see u face to face i and im sure others would whoop ur ass. ls2 is a great motor. fuck evos.. there nice but american muscle is the only way to go

[TheGreatNate]

it's not our fault that you worship Fast and the Furious..get you facts straight latino914..fuckin n00b

[latino914]

go drive a car that is dicontinued b/c of poor sales, handles like shyt, nobody even looks at,poor resale value, do i need to keep going,

[SparkZ1420]

shut the f*** up and drive ur dam civic back to the f***in shop

[latino914]

do not drive civic, and it will be the gto that will go to the shop first b 4 any Honda

[ampzor]

The gto was only meant for a 3 year term until the g8 came out.

[kgib13]

im a gto guy and thats not true lol

[red70tvhs]

gto had nothin to do with g8 like how alot of ppl think but it was only planned for a 3 year run until the Monaro was discontinued.

[jtsnooks]

Well the GTO does have a lot to do with the G8 as the G8 is essentially the next generation of the old GTO platform. Granted it's more related to the Commodore 4-door version since the G8 is 4 doors, but the GTO was based on the same platform just a 2-door version. If they bring out a 2-door version of the G8 it will essentially be a 2nd-gen (or 4th-gen, depending on how you look at it) GTO.

[red70tvhs]

Part 1. Granted it is from the same native country but the G8 has a different platform than the GTO underneat. I wanna say Zeta but im not sure if they incorporated that into the G8 or not. Not sure if the GXP version is two doors or not but it does sport a LS3 engine. GTO was the Monaro's Twin. Which the Commodore was Closely Related, not to familiar with the aussie counterparts lol. I dont think the two door would need to be called gto, we got one and its good enough lol.

[jtsnooks]

I think you missed my point. The Monaro was the 2-door version of the Commodore. Same chassis, just slightly shortened and 2 less doors. The GTO was a Monaro with a few minor changes for the US market. Same chassis as the Monaro and Commodore. The Commodore has now been replaced by the new chassis (it is indeed Zeta), and is sold in the US as the G8. Currently there is no 2-door version, but if there were it would be the next generation of the Monaro/GTO regardless of the model name.

[red70tvhs]

meh gto can run high 12's stock, wouldnt take much to get'em to 11's, without risk of blowing the engine up do to extremely high rpms and extremely high boost :) straight motor ftw

[Emericaman500]

better than those low rider peices of shit you drive.

[latino914]

yea cuz u know wat i drive, if ur gonna say sumthing say sumthing intelligent otherwise dont waste our times like they did buliding that gto

[jpvulpes]

neither do you when you walk down the street, pal.

[STL30]

The drive-by makes up for your shifting. Don't worry; pretty soon you'll be just as good as anyone...

[hitdank]

you guys should turn on lights so we can see the instrument panel.

[TheGreatNate]

its not that your a bad shifter, the goat has looong shifts. what you need to do is get a short throw shifter.and sick drive-by too..

[jtsnooks]

Actually I do have one, I just wasn't ripping them very hard for that video.

[Sololo15]

long throws had nothing to do with those mis-shifts... but yea nice fucking drive by dude.

[GregKJ]

The drive-by was the best. I need to make a short clip like that.

[440hemirt70]

nice turn on that corner.

[jtsnooks]

I just have a Predator tune, H-pipe and flowmasters, which I don't like. Are you the same guy from georgiagtos?

[06BRAZENGTO]

no i am from pa

[06BRAZENGTO]

nice goat,are u stock?

impulse probaly would of been my second choice after brazen.

[jtsnooks]

No, I'm not very good at shifting. I'm too nice on the car, but I'll learn. I've only been driving it for 6 weeks and drove an automatic for the last 7 years, so it will take me a while to get really good at it.

[SmokenAces88]

That car isnt very good at shifting.............
