One driver said the things would pull the front wheels off the ground in fourth gear if you weren't careful. The metal cage that made up the cage around the passenger compartment only weighed 27 pounds! Driver safety wasn't the most important factor apparently. Surprising no one ever died in a crash in one.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
