Arcane Pontiac 301 Turbo

   
   "Arcane Pontiac 301 Turbo"
   
   I always figured, if Christ drove a muscle car--it would be a small block V-8, or something esoteric and mercurial out of the hole.  Anyway, here's a weird, little pseudo-ditty.
   With the Clean Air Act of 1970, certain federal emission standards were being spawned to help protect Mother Earth; moreover, this was before Al Gore came from the planet Uranus and invented the Internet.
   Thus, we get:  1980 & 1981 Trans Ams with Cabalistic displacement.
   The esoteric Pontiac:

301 cubic inches.

4.9 liter.   

Rated around:  210 horsepower.

Torque:  345 ft-lb?  (What!?!)  I could be mistaken.

First production Pontiac to utilize a turbo-charging system.

Regardless of performance--it's mysteriously cool.

But if you want muscle in small size, of course, nothing trumps the:

1987 Buick Grand National GNX!!!

A mere V-6, yet turbo-charged to the core!!!

Can hit 60 swifter than most of yesteryear and today--not even a Boss 429 wants to do the "quickstep" with that thing.
