THE SHORT VERSION

Rare black-on-red 2006 Pontiac GTO with the desirable T56 6-speed manual, currently mid-build with a fully rebuilt LS2 sporting some serious hardware. Engine and transmission are out of the car, giving a buyer a clean slate to finish exactly how they want or drop in as-is and go. This isn't a stock GTO; it's a foundation for a serious street/strip car. I am open to reasonable offers as well.

WHY THIS ONE'S DIFFERENT

Rare color/trim combo — Black exterior over red interior, one of the more sought-after combinations for this generation.

T56 6-speed manual — no automatics here.

Low miles — 80,980 on the odometer.

Freshly built LS2 short block and top end, done right with quality name-brand parts, not the cheapest route.

ENGINE BUILD HIGHLIGHTS

CNC-ported 243 cylinder heads

BTR Forged H-Beam connecting rods

Wiseco forged pistons

Texas Speed Tsunami Stage 4 camshaft

New oil pump

New FAST LSXR 102mm intake manifold

New LS2 fuel rails

New water pump

BTR Stage 3 blower cam available separately/included — great option if you're planning forced induction down the road

EXTERIOR & CHASSIS

Black exterior, straight and solid — not a show car, but a good, honest driver base

Red leather interior — sets it apart from the sea of black-on-black GTOs

Aftermarket wheels

SLP exhaust and headers already fitted

CURRENT STATE

Engine and transmission are currently out of the vehicle. This is a great opportunity for a buyer who wants to do the install their way, verify everything themselves, or add finishing touches (tune, accessories, etc.) before first startup. All the expensive machine work and parts sourcing is already done for you.

WHY I'M SELLING

I have a significant amount invested into this build — quality parts, not shortcuts. Life is just pulling my priorities elsewhere right now: I'm heading back to school and my daughter needs a car of her own, so some of my toys have to go to make that happen. This car deserves an owner who can give it the time and attention to finish it right.

WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR

Serious inquiries from GTO/LS enthusiasts who know what they're looking at. I am happy to answer detailed questions or send additional photos upon request.
