The Non-GTO
Pontiac’s Sprint: Ahead of Its Time?
The success of the GTO gave Pontiac—and John DeLorean—lots of sway within the halls of General Motors. DeLorean got a lot of what he wanted in the wake of the GTO’s impressive launch, but not everything. DeLorean’s wish list included a 2+2 fiberglass sports car codenamed Banshee. Pontiac designed the Banshee to be powered by a 230ci overhead-cam six. Pontiac’s engine group was way ahead of the curve and had completed work on this engine in 1965. But with no Banshee to put it in and the Firebird not ready for production until 1967, the OHC six was made available for the A-Body Tempest.
