Opinions,Firefox vs 92 Heritage Camaro,the one that was never produced.
What was the better of the two in terms of performance and handling,I think the Firefox is better looking,but the Camaro looks sharp with those Trans Am rims

91 Firefox 6spd 3.91 3477lbs 275/17 Goodyears
328hp@4500rpm 395tq@3500rpm 1/4mile 13.5@103
92 Camaro. 6spd 3.42 3460lbs 245/16 Goodyears
275hp@4500rpm 350tq@2800rpm 1/4mile 14.0@100
The Firfox test I have is from the Dec.91 issue of Motertrend,the Heritage is from Apr.92 Hotrod.The Firfox also did .93g on the skidpad,dont have any handling data on the Camaro although I'm sure the Firefox was the slightly better handler due to its IRS and fatter tires.As far as the acceleration,Hotrod later got a 13.8@99 when they bolted on a pair of slicks,and I just read in the Mar.01 issue of GMHTP they had it listed at a 13.5@104,that sounds more like what the car is capable of.I betcha the Firefox though was closer to low 13's.
