Default Re: 70 GTO RPO codes question

I know someone that *may* be able to answer that question...he was an engineer at Pontiac for quite a while. He worked with me this past year and has moved onto other things now...had a TON of fascinating stories to tell. Edit: Email sent!

Here's a trivia question that he posed to me...what car did the designer of the 70-73 Camaro do next? Hint...if you take the front end of the Camaro and only look at "half the front end" (pointy center of the grill to either side...it should become rather obvious.

Would have to guess the same designer did the 71 Vega... as for why Ponchos had 10 bolts and drum brakes, maybe it was because they were slow.
