Yeah, I have to disagree that Pontiac's are the only brand that can 'do it', you guys must be in a different part of the country or something. Around here, there's everything, all have something fast.

Look at Buicks, 455s for starters, there's plenty of stout running GSs with the 3.08 type gear setups. Then there's the GNs, but we're talking about NA stuff for the moment, right?

Olds 455s, have to keep in mind, they are 4.25 stroke from the factory, and although you have to spend a little more on the heads, they can be every bit as fast as Pontiacs.

Fords, look at all the 460 combos out there, would be naïve to think they're not fast, and can't do it with highway gears, they have 557ci combos.

Mopars? They have had way better heads than Pontiacs for YEARS, and stroker 440 kits that are 505 and 535 just like Pontiacs, bigger too, and Indy heads rock.

My personal preference is BOPs, and I've been doing Pontiacs since the 70s. I like Pontiacs, and even if I'm slower, I'm basically going to 'do it' with a Pontiac.

Not knocking the accomplishments, but need to keep it in perspective.
