He used to be a editor at High Performance Pontiac magazine.
Which is why he knows about all awesome engines Pontiac tried to build in the 60s and early 70s.
If Pontiac had their way their engines would have been the most powerful muscle car/race engines of the era. They tried had but got cut off at the knees time and time again.
GM brass and Chevrolets in particular would not let it happen.
