They really give third gens no love what so ever...


anyone else notice that?

 

Kinda like gm high tech performance, though they are a little better

of course, you know what the editors response is? "show us a 3rd gen worth printing and we will"

 

 

my guess is because third gens don't use pontiac engines.

 

^ I once had a subscription back when I had a 1st gen firebird.

They cover 4th gens a lot and have had the occasional 3rd gen.

 

they used to have thirdgens articles more often however most magazines are like that.

Lately i see more and more thirdgens making it into magazines as they are finally hitting the nostalgic age.

and knowing i will **** a lot of members off...... the average thirdgen I come across no mater if its in Milwaukee, Chicago or even just normal forums with pictures of them in the back ground in such poor shape it looks just as sick as freshly hit cat in the road and some look like a fast a furious kid threw up on it.

 

i can remember when a lot of 1st and 2nd gens were looking rough. seems like you could buy any one back then for way under $1,ooo. one day 3rd gens will get more respect.

as for pontiacs,...well, slap a 455 in there and they'll probably jump all over that!

 

Ha, ha ah ah... North of Milwaukee, here
Maybe, they just put the wrong magazine icon in the background!!

 

They need reader’s rides
They need sponsors
They need subscription money

You give THEM too much credit.
They are not at the track. Their sponsors’ parts are not parts I would put on my car. The truth is much different than the marketing behemoth. Why look for love/validation outside, if you don’t have it within? AND if one has it, then why go looking for it? They have need, I do not. I may skim, but always put back down on the rack.
I’m not trying to bash, I’m asking where is the relevance?

 

whats your point?

 

I just got my May 2014 issue yesterday and right on the cover is the most famous third gen ever. KITT. With a 2 part story.

 

Ahh! you beat me to it! Thats what HPP is all about. Keeping the tradition alive.

 

what seats are those?

 

My point was a pictorial refutation...not in poor shape...not sick...not threw up on...and north of Milwaukee.

Seats are Corbeau TRS with 4th Gen double sliders.

Great Maro, my dad had an 83 Berlinetta,we sold it couple years ago..

 

I pulled the photo from my last post here because it is a "Pontiac" thread.


My car did make it into a magazine called "Hemmings Muscle Machines" in August 2014.

They used a old photo from the internet to promote the " Goodmark" hoods showing a close-up of my "Goodmark" 2in Steel Cowl Hood.
Quite the compliment.
