Greetings!

PaperboyYou all know that Pontiac blue flows through my veins and so I just could not stand for our beloved GTO to be spoken of poorly...especially by a retiring GM exec.

I fired off an email to Automotive News regarding Tom Stephens disparaging remarks about how he needed to put a 427 in his GTO for street racing. To my surprise they printed the entire piece as written.

I hope you enjoy...and I look forward to hearing your remarks.

I'm also America's No. 1 Pontiac fan, and I am deeply crushed by his callous put-down of our beloved 389 Pontiac engine. Read more...
