Drngcar , I'm 65 and grew up with Pontiac cars in 60s and early 70s. Live in Detroit area my whole life with family in the auto industry. I've owned a dozen or more Pontiacs, still have 2, a '68 Firebird 467stroker and a'67 GTO I've had since 1970. I remember those engines and and GM decisions.

I can be friends with people who drive and Race other brands. I can appreciate what others achieve in performance and the beauty of their cars. I can admire others talents and abilities regardless of what they work on Rambler, Hudson or Jaguar.. Your hating a Corporation and taking it out on individuals who want to race at levels that more difficult than you know. These individuals still have to the correct choices for part, machining and assembly. The parts are easier to get. The name on then valve doesn't matter as much as the ability to race at a higher level more often. A person can race at hi level with Pontiac, but the cost is higher, timing longer and fewer with the knowledge to help get there. At some point the difficulty overpowers the the name on valve cover.
