Personally, I love the engine in my G8 GT. It is more reliable, and may even have more horsepower than my 455 powered Tempest. I have not had the torque and horsepower tested on my cars, so I cannot compare numbers. However, I can see your point. It is disconcerting to see a Chevy engine in a Pontiac at a car show. But, lets be truthful, a true Pontiac engine hasn't been sold in a new Pontiac since around 1981. That being said, I would love to see
a real Pontiac Blue engine under the hood of a G8 at a car show. It would be especially cool if it was originally a six cylinder base model G8.
