@miriamo25: I keep Pontiacs alive — and tonight my Grand Am GT picks a fight with the other American sedan everybody forgot 🏁 MATCH 3: PONTIAC vs CHRYSLER. Pontiac's side: the keeper's 3400 Grand Am GT. Chrysler's side: the 2001–2006 Sebring sedan with the 2.7 V6. Give Chrysler its flowers on paper — 200 hp beats the Grand Am's 175. But torque is what shoves you off the line: 190 lb-ft for the Sebring, 205 for the GT. Then comes the round this fight is really about — parts, and what breaks. The 2.7 became famous for oil sludge: the Center for Auto Safety counted 400+ federal complaints, engines seizing around 63,000 miles, replacement engines averaging $5,200. And its water pump lives INSIDE the engine, driven by the timing chain — a forty-dollar pump becomes most of a day of labor. The Grand Am's water pump? Five bolts, in your driveway. A Sebring is kept alive by luck and 3,000-mile oil changes. A Grand Am is kept alive by knowing where to look. Not the brochure answer — yours: you, still running a 2.7 on faith and fresh oil — which life fits you, the keeper's hunt or the drop-top gamble, and what does it say about you? 👇 The poll is pinned — that's the scoreboard. And if you're keeping any Pontiac alive on a budget: the guide is free, and the link is on my profile. #Pontiac #Chrysler #CarsOfTikTok #CarDebate #GrandAm
