I voted last month when this was 1st posted, it appears that I agreed with this guy:
Jim Wangers Posts: 18 Royal Pontiac Reply #18 on : Thu May 12, 2011, 16:14:27 To understand the success of Royal Pontiac you have to appreciate the difference between “Performance” and “Racing”. While Royal fielded competitive Super-Stock Pontiacs, when Pontiac was “in racing”, their greatest success was putting their customers in just the “right” car. During the 1960’s period after Pontiac withdrew from professional competition, Royal proceeded to sell thousands of their “street-capable” Bobcats. These were cars meant to be driven as reliable transportation, while at the same time enjoying that extra bit of performance when needed. These were GTO’s, Trans Ams, Grand Prix’s, even Bonneville’s that were warrantable and not in need of perpetual tuning. Their highly trained Sales, Service and Parts people were well schooled in showing the customer how to order, service and use just the right parts to keep their car dependable, yet exciting. If you wanted performance satisfaction in your daily driver, a Royal Bobcat tuned Pontiac was the answer and the enthusiast public, nation-wide knew this. They weren’t always the fastest, but they sure were reliable and they sold thousands of them. I know cuz’ I was there.
