I generally enjoy watching Danny, but my heart sank when I saw that ridiculous cowl induction hood.

I noticed the Chevrolet Orange Pontiac engine, but at least it stayed Pontiac powered. And they stayed with the four speed and the Crager wheels made for a nice touch. I wasn't crazy about the hood either but the rest of the car looked nice.

At first when they just flashed the engine I thought they had committed the ultimate sin and put a (puke) chevy in it. When I slowed the picture down I was happy to see they just painted the engine to match the exterior of the car...........
 If it was Fast and Loud show instead, I know it would have ended up with a SBC in it. Those guys think they have original ideas, however they just follow the crowd when it comes to powering any GM car or hot rod with a SBC.

Those monkeys just "ghettoize" most cars they buy and are surprised when they don`t find buyers with deep pockets.

He recognized the car by the "Anthax" sticker on the dash...and had previously said they had "some good times" in that car.
Yeah....I'll bet.

I like to call that the Pontiac man's sleeper look. Paint the engine orange so nobody will think it's fast.

It's entertainment but 90% of the stuff they turn out is NOT my cup of tea.
Did they charge some dude like $20k for a Manx???? haha And like $35k for a Trike (yea, I'm still on season 1) It's sooooo set up too. And for gods sakes, PLEASE STOP PUTTING FLAMES ON YOUR CARS PEOPLE! It's not 1991 anymore. ugh... |

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.
