The mid-Aughts Pontiac GTO was a pretty fun car even in stock form -- I drove more than a few during my time as a front-desk service grunt at a BPG dealer -- and today we feature a modified 2004 Pontiac GTO that's presumably even more fun, thanks to modifications.

It's had some recent maintenance done and there is a bit of minor cosmetic damage -- dents and parking marks and that sort of thing.
