no its just a regular wrx, apparently it does 0 to 60 in the high 5's //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

what kind of firebird? year and engine? If it's a newer 5.7 then you're prolly right, it'll catch up around 3rd and prolly pass you

 

[italianlifter17 10+ year member]

nah its an older firebird.

ok WRX runs 14.0-14.1 stock 227

what model and year of Firebird?

 

[derek33 10+ year member]

if your too concerned, race on a track that has a corner or two. id bet my life that youd beat a firebird around turns.

 

[italianlifter17 10+ year member]

i think its like a 95 firebird. not sure though know its in the 90s though

and yeah if we raced on a track with turns, i would prolly murder him

correction - you'd murder him pending your skills as a road racer..

:-D

but depends.... I frequently race my friend's wrx, and he will always win off a light, i'll always win anywhere else - we'd probably be really tight in a quarter.

AWD is practically cheating //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif

edit: I do have several suspension mods so my handling isnt the crap you'd expect from a stang.... and he still handles better bone stock, sad imo

what kind of car u got?

 

[WheresTheButta 10+ year member]

I have a 2003 mustang GT, 2 power mods - cold air intake in fenderwall w/ mass air meter, and a borla aftercat. If I had to guess, they're worth maybe 10 rwhp apiece, I **** at launches so I just cheat and always try to race on the highway =)

Aren’t all Firechickens v6s unless it’s a formula 1 or a TA. That being the case you would win I would think

LS1's will run the quarter around 13.2 (people have gotten bone stock LS1's to run 12.9's), I think the LT1's will run the quarter somewhere in the 14 second range. You will own him off the line, but he will pass you somewhere around 2nd/3rd gear. That is just my opionion

*Edit* Unless it has an engine swap, LS1's are 98 and Later

95 shouldn't be an LS1, so I bet it's just an LT1, if it is, you'll get him off the line, but he should pass you around the 1000' mark.

A stock camaro/firebird with an LS1 does right around 13.8 bone stock in the quarter...that is assuming that it is a 95 firebird that makes 275 hp stock...in 96 they upped this to 285 with a second catalytic converter...so one way or another he's got you spanked if he has any mods what so ever considering your running 14.0's stock as well...you would definitely have him out of the whole but by 100 feet expect him to be passing ya.
