One thing you have to remember are the people who replaced DeLorean after he left Pontiac and went to Chevy. None of them starting with James McDonald were car guys. That is why Pontiac got caught with their pants down with the 455. Also, the idiot that was the division manager during 1973 was against the SD455. That is part of the reason why it was late on top of the EPA issue.
These non gear heads screwed Pontiac. That is why I always think of what Pontiac might have been if Delorean was the division manger through the end of the 1970 model year.
Think about it. Bunky Knunsen (SP) was at Ford and they had the BOSS 429 and chevy had Delorean and they came out with the 454 LS-6. All Pontiac guys that were gear heads.
