Rabon(Mr-GTO I will get back to you later)I said awile ago that some peoplt just do not get it.You are one of them.You like to throw around the words "educated" and "engineer" a lot,well nice try it is not going to work.Try that stuff on somebody else."Better in every way" OK Mr.Engineer tell me what is better about a pushrod basic(LS1)engine when compaired to a SOHC hemi.NOTHING.Pontiac was not alowed to put such motors in thier cars.Chevy was scarred.Pontiac could not even put a plain 390 HP D port in a GTO or Bird beacause Chevy was so afraid.They put them in B bodies.Yes I am not happy that Pontiacs V8 is no longer around,but it is easy to tell me to get over it but tell that to the big dogs in the Pontiac high HP world and se how that goes for you.You seem to be glad the Pontiac V8 is no longer in production what does that make you. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
First, I believe I was writing of what Pontiac actually did put in their cars, not what they wanted to put in their cars. The LS1 is better than the old "true" Pontiac engines. That is what you need to "get over".
Second, in another of your posts you state that the '04 is "A fine car but it does not matter how fine of a car it is if you have to become a giant fake and fraud to get there". This statement alone makes you the bigger fraud and fake. Saying that it is a "fine car" and then being ticked that Pontiac chose such a "fine car" to put the GTO badge on is quite hypocritical.
Finally, I am not "glad" that Pontiac no longer makes engines. However, if they did, they would be pushed toward the same (or similar to) design as the LS1 simply because of the design criteria that modern engines have to meet. Even the new "Hemis" are deep skirt blocks. Get with the program and into the 21st century.
So, "what does that make" me? Someone who evidently has a lot fewer prejudices and demons than you. I have moved on from the seventies and I am moving on in a fine automobile. Even you have said so.
