You will beat down the firebird by a large margin(waste of gas IMO). They are just downright slow. The SI should take you no problem as long as he is an average driver.

I think you guy will be surprised by the V6 Firebird. In auto form, those cars typically run mid 15s which is right in line with a 99TL, possibly better.

I haven't noticed that. Most I have seen run mid 16's stock in auto form. On dragtimes there are a few Firebird V6 auto's with I/E running high 15's with 2.3+ 60fts. The 5spds run mid 15's all day long though in stock form. One ran a 15.2 with just intake on a 5spd.

I still think the Firebird V6 auto is a waste of gas. Be my guest though if you want to run him. They are no faster stock than my old 01 Accord V6 J30a1 auto.

I've driven the F-body V6 (Bird and Camaro).....it's a mediocre and anemic V6 at best. NOTE: The only exception to that is the late great Turbo 3.8 from the 89 Turbo TA)
