Default Another laughable Pontiac article.

The long and the short ... "The RAV was cancelled due to the pushrod supplier filing BK. I can just hear the boardroom discussion:

Purchasing Dept Head "I got some bad news boys. Ummm, the pushrod supplier for the RAV just went BK."

Head of Engine Development: "Damn. We're gonna' have to stop the engine production and end the program. Where else are we going to get enough sets of pushrods to homologate the engine? That's like 150 sets!

Finance Dept. Head: "Yeah, there goes our plan to dominate SCCA, Nascar and NHRA with our new motor. TRW, Mellings, Pioneer, Crane and Comp surely aren't capable of producing custom pushrods and even f hey could, they're gonna' cost at least $150 a set ... better to scrap our $3Million engine development than spend another $22,500 towards proof f concept. At least we have some blocks and heads we can sell for scrap and get a couple hundy back."

LOL

Article accompanied by a pic of a "Gin-you wine" GTO RAIV tail panel. What to do with this spare hood decal? hmmm
