i've seen 98+ firehawks run 13.1 before. But it all depends on the driver, the transmission and how good he can shift( if it's manual). I know a kid with a pretty fast LT1 Z28 that can't get it out of the 15s because he's a ****ty *** driver. The hawks are fast tho.

Yea the Firehawks are pretty quick. Not something to be taken too lightly with. Although nothing a built 350 can't take

A friend of mine has just got an 02 TA non ram-air and auto trans. He was pulling consistent 13.7s and 13.6s just by stepping on the gas in "drive",bone-stock. With SLP loud-mouth catback he was doing 13.3s with no skill whats0ever. Floor the pedal and you got 13.3!
A firehawk should be at least that fast. 13.1 sounds about right. W/a stick an a good driver, I can see high 12s.
