Unhappy

Man,I was going for a little more humor than what was generated!-but I know and speak with alot of serious racers (pontiac and others) and they all say the same thing about inflated numbers.Of course there are many shops that can be accused of that who are less known(theres rivalry in my own town!),but still for all the good they do magazines are nothing less than advertisements,and without exciting articles/advertisers to pay the bills there is no magazine period.For their supporters sorry to offend you but I stick to pontiac based magazines/builders for any real poncho tech,and consider car craft a close second for viewing a wide spectrum of cars.I think they have alot of excellent tech and Freiburgers the man!-but like most non specific car mags I dont really find the realistic in depth pontiac tech as evidenced by-in my opinion-this current article and their all brand shootout.Quote,We dont know just where this engines tourque peak lies because westechs superflow dyno couldnt hold the motor below 3,600-but at this point the torque curve was alredy on the downslope with the engine making 579.4 lbs. ft..They then went on to call the mopar the king of torque-amazing!!!!.

I agree but Frieburger has been gone for several years, MattKing took over and it stayed a pretty good mag but since he too left its the same old camero rag as the old days before friburger

I remember that ,
I guess if a Pontiac makes too much torque for Westech's dyno then it's disqualified at CC
