sorry im new ok i was on the highway tonight i see this black firebird next to me i reved my engine going 75. Then he reved his going about 75 also; then i took off as he took off we were both tied till about 110 when i started to pull on him. I was going about 115 when i had about a nose length on him after i stopped. I dunno if he was stock because the car was loud as he**, but it was also a v8 so i dont know.

Lowest hp that body style trans-am produced was 275 with 325 lb/ft torque. Depending on year and options, that could go as high as 330 HP and 350 lb/ft torque.

i dont have any extra weight in the car and i have mods so thats why i feel i beat him.

I seriously doubt slightly better breathing made up that kind of power difference. Trans-am run in the high 13's stock and have a top speed of about 160. And that's the standard version, not the ram air option.
I think somewhere there is a trans-am owner laughing about the guy in the v6 sedan running WOT while he still had 2 inches of peddle left.
Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe your intake pushes you up close to 300 hp.

Maybe you're not...lol And I'm still trying to figure out reving your engine at a speed of 75 mph??? Can anyone let me in on this, or why you would do this?

You're not serious. How familiar are you with the F Body cars? Lets compare shall we? The 2 door coupe weighs in at 3311 lbs. If we are talking about the 275 HP version, were at 12.04 lbs per HP. For the 305 HP version were talking 10.86 lbs per HP. And for the 330 HP version, were at 10.03 lbs per HP. The 2002 Maxima is 3224 lbs, granted lighter than the F body, but at a "rated" 255 HP, you're looking at 12.64 lbs per HP. This car will have no trouble putting a Maxima in its rear-view. My $.02.

I dust auto LT1s on the highway, and belive it or not I had a roll with a ZO6 with me at 100shot of NOS, I pulled about 2 cars on him to 150 in my 5spd GXE VQ-K motor...granted its nothing close to stock.

my friend '93 dynoed his firebird transam at 240rwhp, about 3400lb weight. that was 275 hp version. so if the stock maxima is about 210whp, with all those mods it should come up to about 240-245, no? Plus it's a newer car. So it looks like that is very possilbe

What were you at 7500 rpms?

Anyone looking for a 2001 shell with a blown engine, I know where you can get a great deal.

Something doesn't sound right. You sure it was a Trans Am, and not a regular firebird with aftermarket exhaust? Did you see any "Type S" or "Type R" stickers on it?
