Now if someone said the Butlers or Kauffmans have done a lot of the pontiac community then there would be no argument, even edelbrock. But John M and Gaby, Seriously? I think Tom is getting senile.

He remembers history that never happen lol

Here is the deal. You're probably close on the average. But higher end racers and those who might want to be one day see Marcella's and Gaby's cars going exceptionally quick they realize a 10 or 9 second Pontiac shouldnt be a problem at all. They keep a lot of people from degrading our cars with "corporate engines. I suppose you don't think Langer or Kinsler do anything for us either?

Langer and Kinsler? lol, is this a serious question? Like I said, Butlers and Kauffman have done more than anyone, because they keep the average pontiac guys car alive, even PY can be thrown in the mix, for they all supply parts the average guy can use.

Whats the cheapest pontiac part or service either of them offer the pontiac community?

The cheapest and probably best thing they provide is exposure. I race. I don't go to SEMA to look at motors on stands. I go to the track. I see Langer, Kinsler and Marcella's motors and watch THEM race. I see Gaydosh, Rex, the Butlers and Kaufmans. If you don't think the manufacturers' don't learn from the racers you are a fool. Well come to think of it , you probably don't.

So what are some of the things you believe they have learned from them that has not been known for many years? Be specific.



Don't the Butlers and Kauffman's have their own race programs for product development?

I mean if either of them want to post on here and give John or Gaby or any of the others mentioned credit for their product development that would be great

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world.

Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
