Does anyone have an idea of what these run in the quarter mile?

1/4: 16.1@85.7 Bone Stock

 

Mid 17 to high 16.

i got to 16.2 my first run... w/ air box mods

 

no way. 3500 pound car with 135 hp does not = 16.2's. 305 TBI's with 170 hp and 250 ft.lbs run a 16.2 stock,.

 

16.2 sounds about right, anything is possible with a stock 60* V6, just ask fast RS.....he went 153MPH in his.

Yes I know how to spell camaro- so dont ask. I didnt make the link

 

True the the 305 TBI car does have 170 horses to the V6's 135, but the V6 car also has 3.42 gears over the 305's 2.73s. As long as the V6 is a manual and the 305 is an automatic, I can see these numbers happening. (plus the V6 has a slight weight advantage over the 305)

i'm thinkin somethin is fishy too, low 16s out of a stock V6, not likely.

86 IROCZ
T-Tops
700R4
305 TPI
3.23 gears
shift kit, manual TC switch, manual fan switch, flowmaster exhaust with edelbrock TES headers& hollow cat, gutted MAF.

 

i've heard people running 2.8L's for low 17s there first time out. I could easily believe that 2.8L/3.1L could turn a high to mid 16 in the 1/4, low 16's not to sure. I would also think a TBI firebird/camaro with 170hp, 2.73 gears, and several extra pounds of weight. Their only advantage is the T.Q. actually, if you look at the HP/Weight ratio, they're actually just as good as us in the HP form.

the 85 firebird, the first firebird that doesn't burn out....

It eats the pavement!!!

KILL LIST: (SHORT BUT GROWING)

Dodge Daytona (think a 2.2),Honda Acorda (2.0L),2000 Camaro (3.8L),1992 Mustang (V6),1987 Firebird (2.8L),80's probe (4 banin'),90's malibu,90's 4 door Saturn, (wow, that was a slow ride, even slower than me.),91 Celica GT conv.,Acura Integra, 5speed DOHC 4 cylinder. * 86-90 Pontiac T/A, 305ci. (might not have been running well, but i'll count it anyway.), mid 90's Ford Mustang GT 4.6L tags. (beat him in a turning contest), 3rd gen RS camaro( beat him by more than 2 cars), Celica GT (this guy was a crazy racer)
---came close----
1979 camaro (5.7),1981 camaro (5.7),1982 firebird (5.0) my tires spun, I coulda beat em!!! ,79 El Camino (350, lost by a door),96' Mustang, 3.8L stickshift. (caught him after my car downshifted.)

 

I ran a stock 2.8 camaro back in phoenix. It ran 18.3 I believe. I know it wasn't running bad or anything, but considering the gas sucks out there and it was about 90 degrees id say mid-high 17s with an auto tranny. Manual should net low 17s, possibly high 16s on a good run. However, a 16.2 just doesn't sound right.

(yeah, im not a third gen owner, my friend is so I wander around a bit:P )

That sounds more like it... a stock one couldnt run a 16.2 (it wasnt a gtech was it)
