When ever a division came up with an idea and put it into the market, they got exclusive use of it for about 1 model year before the other divisions could use it. I worked at GM Research as a contract employee from Feb. 1986 until Oct 1989, when I was hired direct. Yesterday was my 32 year anniversary. I worked on lots of cool projects. My boss always said we were working on things 20 years out. It has been an interesting career, so far. All of the technology developed over the years has been pretty interesting. I let any one who listens, how great Pontiac was and how we should never have gotten rid of it. We should have kept them as a performance division not an every car division. I love driving my Firebird into work and showing it off. One of the engineers I worked with, when he retired, gave me a GTO tie tack. He could not think of anyone who would enjoy it more. He was a development engineer at the Milford Proving Grounds working on the GTO in the 60's.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
