Quickest "Real" Pontiac

Lynn A McCarty · 02-27-2014, 12:30 AM

When we decided to build a Grand Am the factory shipping weight was 2770. After it was built an unnamed person claimed the factory shipping weight was higher. Melba from GM who was the only person left after the auto crises re-upped the GM racing specification & got it changed back. It was changed again and everyone gave up. Now all the guys who spent money on Grand Ams have to run a higher weight than what GM SPECIFIED. The Big 3 do it all the time with the racing platforms by deleting air cond, etc, etc for cars designed for racing venues. As one can see with the new cars, none of them match the reg passenger car shipping weights. Maybe we will go after it again.
