R.I.P. Pontiac: 1926-2010

What about the Tempest (My Cousin Vinny reference)? How did that relate to the LeMans?

Bodys were about the same. GTO had the enduro nose that was painted instead of chrome. You had more options on the GTO. The GTO was the Hi performance model of the le-mans. 4 barrel carb as opposed to two. I don't remember if the diff. had better gearing or not. I ran 373's
Much like the difference between a normal chevy and an SS version. The GTO was faster.

The better question is why did i put in 373's instead of 411's?
What happens during normal driving with 411's?

I think there's too much neck snapping going on, right?

The car would kinda hop when going around corners. It was also a little cheaper at the time which didn't hurt.
I like that the big three are bringing the muscle car back, and it really is a shame that the firebird or goat will not come back.

Was it the GTO that had the 6 pack carbs? (3 2bbls in a row)

anyway, to again get away from Politics, here's a question:

Which year GTO was your fave?

I like the year of the one in the very first post (Blue) which I believe is either a 66 or 67

Anyone else?

That's like asking which one of your children you love the most. If I had to pick one it would be a 70 Judge with the Ram Air IV motor. I like the lines on the 70's better than the 68's/69's and I like the Endura nose too. A close second would be a 67 with a 389 Tri Power.

I rmember seeing a Barracuda (or was it a Roadrunner) with the 6 pack
