Eric - Crazy that GM - Chevy etc. would complain about Pontiacs performance adds etc. it did bring sales even in the 70's with the T/A with 1979 being Pontiacs best year for that model - That CAR & DRIVER Handling test were the 1979 T/A was proclaimed the best handling car in America must have erked Chevy Quite a bit leaving the Corvette in its dust - remember reading a lot of hate mail from Vette owners . Also for 1982 and on did Buick have more pull than Pontiac with GM as they were allowed to develop their Turbo engine but not Pontiac - imagine a 301 V8 Bigger Turbo - Intercooler etc. .
Heres a test Done by HOT ROD Magazine for the 1979 T/A 400 4 spd - 14.61 @ 96.67 mph in the 1/4 mile - still Quite respectable even comparing it to the 60's .
