My 89 formula was hitting mid 14s bone stock. Not fast but definitely no slouch. 345 ft lbs of torque at 3200 rpms. Yea the top end was lacking and it ran out of breath over 4k rpm. My current build is a lt1 swapped third gen with mlre than double the HP of both of these pigs on pump gas.
Can't you just retard the cam timing to gain a lil power on the top end? Running out of breath at 4k is like slant six performance characteristics, and I'm bout to do the tuning too to get it to spool up a lil more as I know the cam is way too early in on the game
A stock 3rd gen with a 5.7 is MAYBE a ~180whp and basically a 16 second car. Even a stock AP2 would be faster than that let alone one with mods. Something is done to the Firebird; a cam, a convertor, something isn’t stock if it put 1/2 car length on that S2K.
Stock 3rd gen with a 5.7 is a mid 14 sec car. I had a bone stock 1989 formula 350 with 180k miles that consistently hit 14.5's. San antonio raceway. This is also well-documented in all the publications back then. Your just a liar. 😊
Firebird stole the wing from s2000 😂
This is real racing. No youtube people bringing cars on trailers and complaining about the other cars.
Both kinda failed the burnouts
Mainly the pontiac
Holy shit the small block got him.

Ladies and gentleman it is too close to call.

The Firebird was modded? Thank you Professor Obvious.
@@johnjohnmcclane1818 It says stock small block firebird in the description and it obviously is not.

@@resistorstudios It’s really not.
The Corvetts of that era only ran 14s. The Firebird was not faster than the Corvette. You watch too much YT.
They weigh pretty much the same. The 'bird sounds weak but the ricer LOOKS weak. No real winner here
Well fucking duh the Pontiac still won lmao.
Cubes rules
Who won ?
Firebird by half car
3rdgen 🥴
