As has been said, if you want to know what traditional Pontiac engines will look like in 30 years, just look in the rear view mirror. How many flathead Fords are still out there? There is a small group of die-hard mostly stock components cars still running and a tiny group of pretty radical flat heads with highly modified billet heads and very exotic hardware. The traditional SBC lovers are just beginning to see their beloved engine family slowly fade away the way of the flathead Ford. The far superior LS series engine is finding it's way into all kinds of "classic" Chevy's and really pissing the traditionalists off. A taste of their own medicine as far as us Pontiac guys go. So where will the traditional Pontiac be in the future? In my opinion, a smaller group of enthusiasts by any measure, a tiny group still pushing the envelope of the basic design for their own amusement. I see no reason or benefit to stifle their efforts in any way. Like it or not, few outside our tiny world could care a less.
