I watch almost all of the extras as well as the original episodes on MToD. Ol' Dave often gets bashed as a Pontiac hater here and on Facebook. He has said some negative things, that said, many of the negative things he has mentioned I have also seen threads about on here trying to fix the problems. As someone who has seen almost all of that stuff, I have also seen him say that he likes some aspects of them. He is also an unabashed BB Chevy lover, which I think most even here would agree have a leg up on making huge huge horsepower over the Pontiac mills.
I do think he too often puts Pontiac in the BOP world as one, and I don't think Pontiac has near the drawbacks as those two in several departments, including aftermarket support. While I have heard of many poncho owners pumping their oil pans dry, I think oiling is a way bigger problem with BBBs and BBOs. Conversations like this almost end up being like politics. Where people only acknowledge the disagreements and never want to pay attention to the common ground or listen to any of the logic. I do remember him saying GTOs are just Chevelles. I wouldn't say I agree, but he is also kinda right for what its worth lol. Bottom line is we ALL have opinions on engines, models, and makes that would start fights if you say them to the wrong people. (74 to 76 F bodies are ugly. Im sorry, but you people need to seek help ) Dave has his, but he is famous so its easier to fixate on them. I personally would rather thank the guy for letting me have car shows to watch like Engine Masters vs only having Fast N Loud
