This makes me ill just thinking about it.

Bill,
Yeah - I'm a bit ill about it too, but I have to agree with you that they will never miss Pontiac.
I used to work with a guy that had a Tempest with an OHC 6. He loved that car - I hope he is doing well and the car is still alive.
The Banshee aerodynamics look like it may have had the same front end lift problems at speed as the Stingray. But it would have been real interesting to see Pontiac do a tuned 421 SD for their version of a Grand Sport type Banshee. Until GM corporate comes along and kills the whole thing.
