Would a 1990 firebird with V6 beat an 89 RS with a 305

HIs car has a little bit of mods like a k & n and a flowmaster delta series. My car is original no mods. DO you guys think he will beat me.

Do you own the v6 bird? The v-8 would beat you even if the v6 has the listed mods.

Also, I don't think this particualr topic belongs in this forum.

If the 6 is modded, then it'll really depend on the condition of both of your cars. Is the RS an automatic? What about the 6? If you're signed up at this site tho, most likely you value your thirdgen and take care of it, and I believe you will smoke the 6. However, if you are one of them bastards that lets their car fall to pieces, then the 6, if properly maintained and modded, will take you.

Dude unless you have nitrous, a charger or some serious $$$ mods on the 6 and or the 305 is in bad shape or he's not a good driver, you basically dont have a chance man. Think about it great mods put our v6 cars in the early v8 power band, and these are expensive mods man

i have never seen a stock or lightly modded 6 get out of the 17's before. the 4th gen v6 is a prob for a stock 305tbi, but with any mods you should be able to beat that too.

NJSPEEDER: I hate to tell you, but I know a guy with a 4th gen firbird V-6, and waxes 305tbi's all the time. The car is very impressive for a 6. A 305tbi would have to do quite a bit to beat a 4th gen V-6.

And you should beat the 6 in your case. Even if he does have a flowmaster.
