Default Firebird = OWNED

My first Real race.

I was on my way home from work tonight going up 95 north in the Left lane. I was running about 80 when I came up on some traffic and in front of me was a mid 90's firebird.

He had a couple of cars in front of him that moved over and as i got closer to him he moved over to the right. I was just going to go on by him at 80 and just keep heading home.

He decides to race me, well he tried. I saw him stomp on it as my rear quarter panel was about to pass his front fender, So i floored it too. From 80 to 100 his front fender stayed just in front of my passenger door, after i passed 110 it was all over. By the time i hit 130 i had put about 20 car lengths on him.

He gave up and i never saw him again.

It felt good too, god i love my car.

Nice kill. My buddies v6 Firebird went around 10 flat in the 1/8. They're not THAT slow.

With all the mods i've done to my car, i don't think a stock V-6 is THAT fast.

Besides that, my 97 dodge avenger V-6 would and did kill many V-6 firebirds on the interstate.

I highly doubt it was a V-6, it ran pretty damn good. I had to work to beat him.

Yea, TransAm = v8 and Firebird Formula = v8. The Formula's are pretty rare though. They did have an higher output v6 Formula though.

firebirds are waste of metal, but the Trans Am WS6 = drool, it looks soooooo mean!

I liked the LT1 Formula's. Not much on the LS1 ones though.
