Background
Pontiac updated the GTO's styling for 1970, giving it a new Endura nose with exposed headlamps, bodyside creases, and a revised rear bumper. Few muscle cars made a bolder visual statement than the 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge. Graphics and wings were wilder for '70. "The Judge" decals returned, multihued stripes appeared over the bodyside creases, and the 60-inch rear wing now stood high and proud on the tail. "The Judge," observed Road Test magazine, "is not for people who are shy about being looked at."
But there was no shortage of substance here. The 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge was all about unbridled muscle car performance. The Ram Air III brought 10.5:1 compression and produced 366hp at 5,100 RPM. The M20 had wide-ratios, while the M21 was a close-ratio. All of these manual transmissions were attached to 10.4-inch-diameter clutch discs in 400-inch engines. All four-speed Judges got a Hurst T-handle shifter. The 400-cid V-8 came with functional hood scoops (an underdash knob controlled air flow).
Although cornering was never The Judge's strongest trait, it became much more fun in 1970 due to some important suspension modifications. A .875-inch anti-roll bar was fitted in the rear for the first time, and the front bar was enlarged to 1.125 inches in diameter. These bars were coupled with stronger lower rear control arms for 400-cu.in. cars, and those with four-speed manuals gained extra frame reinforcement brackets. Revised springs, and revised shock valving including the introduction of variable-ratio power steering also improved response.
Because The Judge was the top-level GTO, it was fitted with expanded vinyl Morrokide buckets with "comfort weave" inserts, standard headrests, a center console and a dashboard trimmed in woodgrain and engine-turned metal.
Only 3,797 copies of the Judge were sold in 1970. But for extroverts, limited-production car collectors, speed freaks and fans of late Sixties pop culture, the wildest GTO of all is tops. Sporty young and young-at-heart drivers will feel right at home behind the wheel of The Judge. More than 40 years ago, in an attempt to recapture some of the sales they lost to the saturated muscle car market, the Pontiac Motor Division gave the GTO a similar treatment, and The Judge was born and continues it’s iconic status in the muscle car era.

From 1967 through 2002, the Pontiac Division offered the Firebird, close sibling to the Chevrolet Camaro. By the third generation, which debuted for the 1982 model year, it became more difficult to tell the two F-body cars apart at a glance and the Pontiac-exclusive engines of the earlier years disappeared, but the Firebird still retained its own personality and its own position in the GM marketing hierarchy. I still find the occasional 1982-1992 Camaro as I search car graveyards for interesting stuff, but the corresponding Firebirds have become scarce in recent years. Here's a base-engine-equipped '87, its Bright Red paint (yes, that was the official name for the color) faded by the Colorado sun as it awaits the crusher. Firebird shoppers had their choice of three engines in 1987: A 5.7-liter Chevy V8 (210 hp), a 5.0-liter Chevy V8 (205 hp) and the same 2.8-liter 60° V6 that went into the Fiero and countless front-drive GM sedans (135 hp). This car has the base engine. The third-gen F-body didn't weigh much (3,105 pounds for the '87 with six-banger, about what a 2020 Corolla weighs), so 135 horses was tolerable. Plenty of these cars got T-5 5-speed manual transmissions, but this one got the two-pedal setup. Camaro wheels, of course. Our Friend the Carburetor didn't disappear from new cars until the early 1990s in the United States, though electronic fuel injection had become very commonplace by 1987. Still, GM considered this car's EFI worth a door-handle brag. It's not worth fixing up a mashed six-cylinder third-gen Firebird, so we can see the route this car took to its final parking space.

A Florida biker and his passenger got a nasty surprise when a road rage incident turned ugly on Monday. According to WTSP, Joe Calderazzo was returning from a Veterans Memorial Day motorcycle rally around 5:30 pm with a group of fellow riders. During their ride, the group got entangled with an overly aggressive driver in a Pontiac. Abe Garcia of Tampa watched the silver Pontiac attempt to run the pack of bikers off the road, which started the altercation. The bikers caught up to the Pontiac in stopped traffic, and a shouting match ensued between the bikers and the Pontiac driver. At this point, Garcia pulled out his phone and started recording. The exchange escalated, and suddenly the Pontiac driver floored it, turned hard to the right, and ran over Calderazzo's Harley. The Pontiac mangled the Harley and knocked Calderazzo and his passenger to the ground. The Pontiac then fled the scene. WTSP spoke to Calderazzo as he was on his way to the hospital. "I thought the guy was trying to kill us obviously," said Calderazzo. "You know you don't know what's going through your mind. Is he going to put the car in reverse? Is he going to turn around? Is he going to stop and pull out a gun? You don't know what's going on." The Pontiac driver, a serial traffic offender named Robert Paul Vance, was picked up by police soon after the incident. He is charged with hit-and-run, a moving traffic violation, and aggravated battery.

The Pontiac GTO was perhaps the most iconic muscle car of the '60s and early '70s. With its beefy V8 and color palette screaming for attention, it summarized in a single vehicle everything that made the era so appealing to many young people. Pontiac tried to collect just a few drops of that aura again in the 2000s with a revived GTO, but with decidedly mixed results. The performance was still there with its big V8, but the looks never quite lived up to the powertrain. Now, Generation Gap wants to know which of these Goats is the one to own.
Things are skewed immediately because the 2006 GTO here is a real ringer. It comes from famous tuner Ken Lingenfelter's collection, and it's a one-off example partially fettled by GM Performance boasting a twin-turbocharged LS2 V8 with a claimed 750 horsepower and a wide-body kit. This Goat definitely isn't what you're going to find just browsing for one to buy in the newspaper. Still, dip the throttle just a little, and this GTO pulls like a freight train. It's enough to turn the two hosts into giggling schoolboys behind the wheel.
The '69 GTO Judge here is also out of Lingenfelter's collection, but this one is all stock with a 400-cubic-inch (6.6-liter) V8 and a Ram Air hood for a claimed 366 hp. It might not have the unbelievable power of the turbo '06, but it makes up for it with style to spare.
