As GOATWGN stated, when you work on new stuff all day, you don't have any desire to own a high dollar new car to drive home at night. As I posted elsewhere, I recently owned a 5L new Mustang GT 6-speed. A great car, a high 12 second car, 300-400 lbs lighter than a Challenger or Camaro. Nothing ever went wrong with it. 30 MPG on the highway in 6th gear at 1500 RPM's at 80 MPH. But it's a completely different sensation, boring if you will drive, compared to an old muscle car. Old cars are not for everybody. They rattle and squeak, they have wind noise, they have lousy brakes and marginal steering compared to a modern muscle car, and they are slower when comparing stock to stock. Don't care, I like driving my 62 Catalina much more than the Coyote Mustang much to the complete dismay of my understanding wife.

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.
