I like it better than either of those cars alone. I'm just filled with all kinds of questions - how do both engines work? Were the Super Beatles still body-on-frame? How does that match with the (I assume) unibody Subaru? This is the project he chose to throw a huge amount of time and effort in to?

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.
