Hello, i am a v8 guy personally. i am buying a 3rd gen for my sister and i saw a really nice 91 rs but it has the v6. i was wondering what kinda power/preformance can u guys get from these engines. i want a car that can hall a little a$$. what is the most common 1/4 mile times u guys are running.
thanks Shaun

 

GUYS WILL LOVE YOUR SISTER FOR CHOOSING SUCH A QUALITY RIDE!
Your sister will love you for all the guy attention she is getting.
She'll do fine in that ride.
The V-6s have spunk for fun!
If it's a T-Top she'll kiss your feet & introduce you to all her cute friends.
So don't blow this chance at major guy happiness!

 

Performance around town is a bit better than a 305 TBI... At higher speeds (interstate) the V6 starts to show its weaknesses. Not a bad starter car, but if she/you ever intend to improve the power, the V6 isn't where I'd suggest starting.

 

Too bad mine's not on the road, or I'd take ya for a ride in it. Ask the guy selling it if you can test drive it or if your sister can.

 

A 3.1 is not bad. Get her a dynomax cat back a high flow converter and she will be very very happy for a long time.

 

Get her a civic or something cause dude nothing is hotter than a good looking girl in a sports car.. They are always somebodys sister or daughter

 

These v6 thirdgens run an average of 16.7-17.1 in the 1/4 without any mods and run about 0-60 in 9 secs. Quick but not a pavement pounder.

 

put it on a diet though and give it a few mods and it will do just fine though

and with a camaro you are not going wrong even thouugh it is a six

they still have lots of spunk

 

Though I'm used to alot of power ,whether its the race boat ,motorcycle or whatever, I do like the V6.
They have just enough power to snap you back in the seat,but not enough to be hazardous on wet or slippery roads.
Besides she'll love ya when the insurance payment is due.

 

Since when did a Honda ****vic become a"sports car"?
AC COBRA
CORVETTE
Sport cars.

 

KED85, i was thinking the same thing! thanks for the info guys.

honda civic is an economy car thats got a whole lot of aftermarket items, my family has 2 civics, they are by all means NOT A SPORTS CAR! not even the v-tec, my sisters car has a v-tec and its still just a simple economy car with not power. and its definatly not a sportscar...

 

I think he was being sarcastic about the civic.
He was trying to keep Spins sister safe from the guys like us that think women in sports cars (f-bodies) are HOTTTTT!

 

I KNOW PERSONALLY WOMEN IN F-BODIES ARE HOTTIES!
I married one, she owns a 1968 Camaro!

 

I got a 3.1 firebird... i think its called the uh, slow one. =)
but you can easily free her up some power if she wants it.

-Hi performance camshaft w/ 1.62 roller rockers

-open air element w/ k&n (no foam filter imposters!)

-Hi perf pulleys

-pop up pistons

-dynomax exhaust system with either of the two mufflers (i think the super turbo is better than the ultra flow)

-hi flow catalytic converter

these are basically my plans for the car, and with a chip i can see it hauling quite a bit of ***, let alone just a little =)

no matter what tho, the 3.1 stock is still a cool car, it just needs a little help off the line hehe.

 

OMG!!!!

my 3.1 RS hauls *** i got Kat back exhaust
Dynomax pipes and 80 series Flowmaster that sounds NASTY!!!
plus a K& N filter to complement my system
GET the DamnEd F-Body and Get it now
i ran 17.1 in 1/4 mile BONE STOCK with Street tires that spun like crazy
i bet if i ran now i could get a easy 16. 7 or 16.8 or maybe a 16.9
i dunno but i know for a fact i can get into the high 16's and thats Kick *** for me and my beautiful RS
