SHAME ON PONTIAC!
The cars put in the media's hands have been detuned and the traction control button "disabled" so that it cannot be turned off.
The result is that timing is being taken away and the cars can barely turn the tire!
This all done so that the magazines don't distroy the car.
Poor, poor, poor. The cars should have been left alone...or event juiced up a bit. The magazines had to sign waivers that they would not have one of thier techies enhance things with LS1edit, etc.
Pontiac let out a GTO to a magazine knowing full well it was going to be run side by side with a Mach I in a drag test and the car was still left in the detuned state.
Come on Pontiac...I love the car, but how can the world know how capable the car is if we don't let the press have only "the best" of what is to be offered!
John DeLorean would have had a fit!
