raced a v6 firebird

It's my friend. We were at this party and we got bored so we decided to see what my auto tsx could do. We went down to the local race road. honk honk honk and we both take off at "blistering" speeds. he had a good start and had me by a hood for first gear but in second i took em back and stayed ahead of em....i got up to about 80 and was from a hood to a hood+frontdoor ahead of em the whole time....racing is fun, even though my car is slow it felt good beating a manual v6 sports car. pretty sweet feeling...he was giving me excused like you only won by a hood....and i told em "it doesnt matter if you won by an inch or a mile, winnnings winnning. LOL


viva la tsx!!!!

How fast is a V6 firebird? Pretty slow, right?

Apparently it's slightly slower than an AT TSX.

v6 firebrids were 3.8 liter 200hp motors(225lb ft of torque) so you can see they didn't have much top end. They weight 3300lbs plus. This is totally possible, especially given the fact it was from a roll where the lack of top end in the fbody would have a larger effect. Timeslips for v6 firebrids range from high 15s to high 16s

Tinky always shows up in the nick of time with just the right info.

Stop complaining and go install your swaybar(and try not to break your end links in the process)

Is it kosher to ask where you ordered it and how much it cost shipped?
