You're wrong, most people I hang out with don't like it when I try to espouse reality, and I actually buy all the kids in my neighborhood ice cream every time the truck comes around.
My major point here is, we already have so many unsolved problems with our old Pontiacs that no one can seem to solve given the availability of genuine parts.
Here's the deal, my very first Pontiac was a 1972 GTO that I bought in 1976, and it NEVER overheated. Why do they overheat now? Why are people incessantly complaining about camshaft and lifter failures. Replacement stamped steel water pumps worked just fine back in the day, but somehow over the last twenty years or so, only the cast impeller will work properly, yet, we still have overheating issues.
I am not against the exploitation of the Pontiac engine's potential, just trying to be realistic. Just look at the host of problems posted every day in the street section.
