I subscribed to Pontiac Enthuists Magazine and let it expire as I read too many times about pontiac history and correct brake booster concours detailing. With all of the exciting engine builds, races, and racers just in this site, you would think there could be great articles to publish. In these mags I get bigger show car coverage and just a blip of race car coverage. I've never read one article on an All Pontiac or MR-1 engine build. How about an 800 HP pump gas build, or a great gas mileage/performance 301 build. Rare interviews of popular engine builders and their acomplishments (P Dude, Ace, Butler, Kauffman, ect) . It would also help these builders get their name out and thus more business for them. More business for them, more exciting article to publish. With all the talk of 1000 HP eheads, where are the magazine articles of some of the build and dyno results. How about the new billet Visner heads and Lil Jacks build? I could go on and on. Pontiac died because it ceased to be good and exciting, good bye. I love my old firebirds and the used-to-be's. Just try and think of one late model pontiac that anyone would spend 30-40,00.00 to restore in 20 years. Maybe a 98-2002 Trans Am? I think there are enough bold pontiac enthuists to to keep us alive and strong, the magazine articles just don't project that. They could learn something from Super Chevy and CarCraft.
