Pontiac’s Enduring Dedication to Performance

The 2009 Pontiac G6 will soon be one of the sharpest looking Pontiac cars around Springfield. Pontiac has been known for its stylish and high-performance cars for decades.
In particular, the Pontiac muscle cars of the 1960s and the early 1970s seemed to be something of a golden age of power and performance for Pontiac. Starting with the Pontiac Tempest in 1964, Pontiac’s cars were without a doubt fierce competitors.
The Tempest had Pontiac’s largest V8 engine. It’s suspension was heavy duty, and it had bucket seats. The Tempest was followed in 199 by the GTO. The GTO is probably, of all Pontiacs, the classic muscle car. GTO” stood for “Gran Turismo Omolgato,” a phrase that, loosely translated, suggests that the car is suitable both for racing as well as driving on the street.
After Ford released the Mustang, Pontiac responded with the Pontiac Firebird. The 1969 Firebird Trans Am is an especially rare vehicle, as less than 700 of them ever rolled off the assembly line.
As time went on, unleaded gasoline engines became standard and horsepower dropped. The age of muscle cars went into the history books. Yet, Pontiac charges on, continuing its dedication to style and performance.
