From back when car commercials intentionally showed that cars were made for having fun.

My own first car was a 1969 Pontiac Tempest.  Even with a 2 barrel carburetor and a stock single exhaust, it would do some serious performing.  Over 300 horsepower on the base model.

But the GTO is a step up from the Tempest, and is one of America’s well-known muscle cars.  In the clip below, I love to hear the lope of the engine’s idle as it chomps at the bit to breath fire.  Ah the memories!

By the way, who are those guys singing in the commercial – anyone we knew?
