Um, the Pontiac 6000 model on topic didn't use the 3800 series 2 with the plastic intake. The biggest V6 in that model was the 3.1.
One of the reasons Pontiac don't exist today could be they stopped making their own engines, just like every other GM division. Back when they all did, IMO Pontiac built the best. You said it yourself on a previous comment about the "Iron Duke".

If it's made here it's still not necessarily a domestic. Over and Over. So you can drive a German BMW, German VW or Japanese brand nameplate (say a Tacoma). None of these are domestics. They are foreign brand cars. Back to the point... if I drive a brand new BMW model made here, it's an American car, correct? Tell Germany that at their corporate headquarters. I own a rental property in another country. I hire a management firm there and pay a percentage to look after my place. The property is there, the workers are as well... but I get the rental money and the proceeds if sold. It's called ownership. They get a small percentage for taking care of it. But I own it. An analogy, but maybe this will finally work. Doubt it, but worth a shot.
