Car: Mullitt mobile :)
Engine: it's stock LOL
Transmission: 700rJunk
Axle/Gears: 2 much 4 street not enough for strip
Both cares being equal in condition (tune-up) the 91 would win having roughly 230hp to the '87s 190 - 210 range.

Things needed for better reply:

Types of transmissions
Gear ratio of the '91

Sparks a flyin'

The 91 Firebird has 2 12" Subs in the back, More or less bone stock....The 87 Iroc has Homemade Ram-Air, K&N filters, and new Injectors.....And I've got no subs or what not to way me down....

is this a g92 91 we're talking about? They run anywhere from 14.6 to low 15s from the tests I have.

The VIN wont tell you what transmission or rear end ratio he has... You have to look at the RPO codes for the rear end ratio and the transmission is obvious, I hope.

He did what? 14" rims? #*&@*&!~(

Please do me a favor and punch the guy in the mouth after you beat his stupid *** .

If it is a 5spd just look for dual cats to see if he has got the hot 305 w/ the 3.42s or the weaker output motor and weak rear combo.
