While sharing the same basic engine configuration with the base-level Chevrolet Corvette, the LS1 engine in the 2006 2007 Pontiac GTO has been modified with a high-lift camshaft and increased airflow induction to create greater horsepower and low-end torque than the Holden Monaro to address the needs of U.S. drivers. All that power is mated to either an electronically controlled Hydra-Matic 4L60-E four-speed automatic transmission or the six-speed, close ratio manual transmission available on the Corvette ZO6. Both transmissions feature the same low-geared 3.46 final drive axle ratio in a rear-wheel-drive configuration to maximize off-the-line performance, a limited slip differential, and a three-channel traction control system designed to help enhance vehicle control. 2006 2007 Pontiac GTO seats four adults in 2+2 bucket seats. A 200-watt Blaupunkt stereo with six-disc in-dash CD changer and 10 speakers is standard, as is cruise control, traction control, a multi-function driver information center, keyless entry system and a host of other features that enhance the driving experience. |
