Finally
I’m new to the Pontiac scene but not cars. I wish somebody would have said this to me 20+ years ago. I agree. Racing gas,4.11s, 3200 stall and LET IT GO!!!!!!!! Don’t spend forever NOT driving for the sake of ONLY driving a finished product. That killed my drive to drive when it went bad.

Well that was some weird posting from a brand new member, not to mention digging up an almost decade old ‘zombie thread’ to do that.
Scammer warming up to us. Shoot first asks questions later, better luck next time eh. |

The guy that got me into pontiacs had a '67 matching numbers 400/400 firebird, black on black. It spun the number two rod in 2000. He swapped a Chevy 305 in it and drove it for about 6 months until he sold it, not running and in primer. The block got lost in a move and I have the 670 heads. A girl I used to date got a small inheritance and promptly blew it on a black and blue'78 Z28 Camaro. Had a truck 327 and a single plane. I got it running OK, but then she traded it for an IROC with a V6 and a bad rear end.... Logic was not her best asset.... The Neanderthals she sold the Z28 to, blew it up at the dragstrip soon after. Heck, even my white '67 is gonna be sold after I finish stripping it. Too rusted and the frame is bad. So yeah most of these cars came to bad ends.

You could get an IROC with a V6? Or do you mean the RS that kinda looked like an IROC?

It was a '92. Red and black. Maybe it was an RS, had a 3.something V6. I tried not to pay attention to it. Our mutual friends thought she was insane for trading the '78. The rear end on the RS whined louder than she did, like how can you not hear that when you test drove the car? Soon after, the car started running hot, and she overheated it limping it to my house. Car was steaming like a cartoon when she got to my place. And then she wanted me to change the radiator, head gasket, whatever it was. Nope honey, all your feminine wiles are not going trick me to lift the hood on that POS. It sat for 2 weeks until I got a trailer to dump it at her place. And towing it killed the tranny in my dodge pickup. A month later, the car was stolen out of her yard, LOL. It was a shakesperian redneck rock opera. The rocky headgasket picture show. That girl was no end of trouble, I was glad to be rid of her.....
