Thats not the actual speed. He didnt calibrate his speedo. My uncle had a 87 c10 383 stroker witha 700r tranny with 4.11s we were barely going 50 mph n it siad 90.
4.30's are not too much, you could even go 4.56's. To do 70 mph is only 2100-2200 rpm's. I can still do 142 mph in 5th gear, 6th gear can accelerate. Its way easier on the clutch, grabbing gears is fun, gas mileage is so good you dont care. Stock Firehawk exhaust, car is dead quiet and zero droning. You want poor mileage, try some of our old school Big Blocks that really only 4-5 mpg.
So you're saying my buddies extremely worked 502 Big Block with a hairy custom cam and 4.11 gears in his 3,850 pound muscle car isn't too good in the mpg department huh? LMAO ;)
It's like that commercial from a few years back where the guy gasses up his muscle car and then smiles while he's revving it and you see the gas go from full to empty in 5 seconds LOL. I always laughed when I saw that ha ha.
@petelovesmaryjane Hey Marie Jane Lover an LS1 get amazing gas milage. I have a 2005 C6 Corvette with 400hp stock and 400lbs torque and still get 19city and 28hwy. Amazing engine. Smoke one for me.
@criefus Dude...if you are worried about gas prices, don't bother with getting gears. It's certainly not economical...but that isn't the reason for the gears now, is it!?!
@criefus For daily driving it would not be any different really, you would just have more pull in every gear, and being such a short final gearing, you would be able to run one gear higher than stock when cruising. You could even start in second with 4.30s and it would be like starting in first with 3.42s. Gas mileage in city might be 1-4 MPG worse when accelerating, but you could shift much earlier and lose only 1-2 MPG MAYBE. On the highway you would only lose maybe 1-2 MPG when cruising.
Thats badass man, its insane how these cars are still such a great bargain for performance, you'd never expect that they could tear up most things on the road even 8 years later. Ive been waffling between one of these or a 79' T/A for my next car for a while now, decisions decisions...
@Quatermain98526 Well ive got more in mind than just speed haha, in different ways they're both about equal in my eyes, the 02's are safer, more economical, and faster, the 70's are better looking, better build materials, and way rarer. The 02's are faster and better on gas but the 79's are just insanely badass cars, and my favorite car right under the 71' Hemi Cuda
@Quatermain98526 i think the 98-02s look awsome no doubt but i think the 77-81 T/As look way better, but thats not to take away from the 4th gen looks cause in my oppinion the 77-81s are the best looking cars ever built, but to each their own. And i was talking about this car specificly when i meantioned the 8-years later thing, the line of 02' Firehawks was the subject of that, and actually there were a few minor differences for 02' but i hate when people get anal about details =P
@s10guy3388 Lol if you ever total yours by accident let me know. I see t-56 transmissions on ebay, but none of the other parts to convert my auto to use it. (Clutch pedal, master cylinder, plus a lot of stuff i don't know about/missed)
I was this close to buying a set of GM 4.30's for my 2000 SS but chickened out and wen't with a 4.11. Now it seems I could have gone 4.30's w/ no problem, so if I ever do another gear swap that will be my ratio of choice!
@sheet4u wow you obviously have no fucking clue what gear ratio is exactly lol and 4.56 gears for a 6 speed manual is practically overkill no need for it
@sheet4u Depending on the powerband of the engine going from 4.10's to 4.30's could give a noticeable difference, even if it's just a tenth or so. Don't just look at it from a numbers aspect. :-)
@N20LT4 definatly, and actually every car/powertrain has a nice "sweet spot" you gotta figure out, sometimes going too big will bring your times down, there's a nice curve youve got to work out and find just the right gear set for you
@Modmob dude your the only other 14 year old I've seen with a car lol in 14 two I have a 93 mustang LX convert but I wanted a 87 camaro I'm gonna try and trade someone after the summer
lol at my 13.1 at 111mph, I have 3.73's and Ls6 heads, small cam, if I could cut a better 60 foot time (2.2's...on all season tires! Ouch) I would be mid 12's with out headers right now. My headers are going on next week :) and I will use my 315 DR's next time at the track lol.
lmao wasn't a 2011 GT those arn't out yet and they are putting out 412bhp from the factory. Ford got smart and brought back the 302 and the 2011 V6 Model is gonna have 305bhp. After getting its assed kicked last year by the Camaro ford knew they had to do somthing and thats what they did
yep have you seen the body kit you can buy for the new 2010 Camaro to make it a trans am? Its like sex on wheels and man it's sweet looking. I'm looking foward to Chevy bringing back the Z28 and I wish Dodge would get smart put the challenger on a diet and make the charger a 2 door and chevy bring back the Chevelle then we are talking
Located in St.Louis?! thats where i live, im still 14 for now but my first car is the 2002 Z28 we got it might give u a good run we dont really a lot of mods on it its basically stock but its fast!
im thinking barely 90. cause stock gearing can get yah 100-110 depending on rev limit and 4.10's pull to almost 100 with a 6700 rpm limit so. awesome gears though lol
i have a 93 Z28 im 18 years old its in mint condition and i race it, i pay 774 bucks every 6 months. Good student discount, multi car discount, and steer clear discount. I think theres a few more I have too but im not sure
no its not, 1: its a FIREHAWK trans am, SLP's version of the trans am, 350 HP!! 2: the reason why he jumped so fast was because he had 4.30 GEARS!!! HE IS GEARED FOR ACCELERATION, NOT SPEED!
I have a 96 firebird but with the body kit on it looks like a 98 is only got a v6 though because im only 16 and my insurance would be like sky high but i want a biiget motor like on from a original ws6's
Just to let you know.. I almost bought a v6 Mustang instead of my 5.0 because of insurance... I'm only paying $193 a month for full coverage. It's not bad at all. I have a flawless driving record, zero points, and usually get on the gas only at the track. Be responsible, and the cost isn't that bad!
Age plays a role, and coverage level... I'm at full coverage, 19 years old now, and not piggybacking off my parent's plan. I've just redone my insurance since turning 19 - $154 a month now!
This is for a 1995 Mustang GTS. As of January 2nd when I turned 19, I'm not paying $153 a month, for full coverage. I'm not doing the 'occassional' driver trick or anything to lower it, either.
Pretty much if you get anything that can do more than 110 before your 21 or if the vehicle isnt at last 10 years old.. you going to get reamed by insurance.
@exile907 When i was 18 i had an 04 GTO and my payments were only about $150 Monthly, which i though was going to be WAY higher than that but wasnt too bad really
i did a quot on one cuz im getting aT/a and it said 1700 for 6 months soo not to bad and im buying mine cash so dont need full coverage so itl be like 550 for 6
its fun, the LS1 cant be beat, I have an 01 WS6 with 3:42's and all stock with 3:42's and 6 spd I went 13.14@107, now I have LT headers,LID,catless y-pipe still untouched engine and went 12.89@112mph with a 2.4 60ft cause I had to take off at idle, my first run was 13.80 spinning till I hit 3rd, it was bad, also I had all hardened gears and steel shift forks installed in my tranny, LS7 clutch, people said that I should be at 12.49 with drag radials, in my mind thats fast!!! drive it every day!!
thats pretty good drag times for everything on the engine being basically stock not to mention firebirds and trans ams are heavy .. gets some engine mods maybe a supercharger and you would probably be pulling 11s or maybe 10s
Not in the 1/4, after that the LS2 GTO will pull because of more hp., it's common sense dude. And it's not "way" faster, they're both Pontiacs except the T/A looks "way" better, so stop hating. I like them both but would hands down take a WS.6 or Firehawk over a GTO anyday.
'zackbranch'... I forgot to mention that stock for stock the WS.6 is a couple of cunt hairs faster than the SS in the 1/4 because of the better ram air induction on the T/A.
Yea, I don't really know if there's any real truth to that or if it's just coincidence. In a quarter I don't know that you'd get up enough speed to make the ram air have any real effect, and at speeds high enough to gain any power, it's offset by the increase in drag. A WS6 may be a little faster than a Formula or a Z28 because the hood is lighter, but I think that's about it.
At 100 mph, the stock WS6 hood generates the equivalent of around 0.15 psi. Then you have to take into account the drag induced by having a big scoop catching air on front of the car which will increase the faster you go. Plus, 0.15 psi on a 300+ wheel horsepower motor is not going to be noticeable. You'll get more of a change in a 3-4* change in air temp or a couple percent difference in humidity. It's for looks more than anything.
that right there goes to show you how horrible the track is in Bristol TN. humidity and elevation has A LOT to do with times. a guy I know had an 02 firehawk auto that ran VERY well on the street and he was runnin 13.8 at 101 mph. that was with aftermarket exhaust. my 97 cobra was runnin low 14s at high 90s. I wanted to shot myself till I realized everyone else was runnin shitty. I hate racin there man. 5500 feet elevation and it's ALWAYS humid when the track is open in the summer...damn
it might be off a lil more than that man. that's a big jump. I had a 97 cobra and went from 3.27 to 4.10 (about the same jump as you did) and when I was hittin 160 it was really just 120. 140-145 whould probably be 110 tops. that is IF it's off the same amount but I would assume it would be since you jumped about the same. the best thing to do is a highway run with a chick who doesn't know any better and tell her to watch the speedo....they shit their pants when it passes 160 QUICK lol
Our 99 Z28 Ran 13.10 stock. Our 01 Ram Air car ran 13.03 with an air lid only. You can watch the video and see and it doesnt have slicks, but it does have sticky DOT tires.
Wouldn't ya run 4th gear out (in the 1/4) with 4:30's and a 26" tall tire?? I thought 4:10 was a low as one should go for a street/mild strip car with 26" tires.....
Thats not the actual speed. He didnt calibrate his speedo. My uncle had a 87 c10 383 stroker witha 700r tranny with 4.11s we were barely going 50 mph n it siad 90.

I have a 96 firebird but with the body kit on it looks like a 98 is only got a v6 though because im only 16 and my insurance would be like sky high but i want a biiget motor like on from a original ws6's
basketballboy081 2 years ago
Just to let you know.. I almost bought a v6 Mustang instead of my 5.0 because of insurance... I'm only paying $193 a month for full coverage. It's not bad at all. I have a flawless driving record, zero points, and usually get on the gas only at the track. Be responsible, and the cost isn't that bad!

Age plays a role, and coverage level... I'm at full coverage, 19 years old now, and not piggybacking off my parent's plan. I've just redone my insurance since turning 19 - $154 a month now!

travis06 2 years ago
This is for a 1995 Mustang GTS. As of January 2nd when I turned 19, I'm not paying $153 a month, for full coverage. I'm not doing the 'occassional' driver trick or anything to lower it, either.

Pretty much if you get anything that can do more than 110 before your 21 or if the vehicle isnt at last 10 years old.. you going to get reamed by insurance.

sweet. I have an '01 formula A4 with 4.10 gears, stock with tune. On crappy tires, making 13.55 @ 105 mph quarter mile.
tarkuk 2 years ago
its fun, the LS1 cant be beat, I have an 01 WS6 with 3:42's and all stock with 3:42's and 6 spd I went 13.14@107, now I have LT headers,LID,catless y-pipe still untouched engine and went 12.89@112mph with a 2.4 60ft cause I had to take off at idle, my first run was 13.80 spinning till I hit 3rd, it was bad, also I had all hardened gears and steel shift forks installed in my tranny, LS7 clutch, people said that I should be at 12.49 with drag radials, in my mind thats fast!!! drive it every day!!
MrWrencher 2 years ago 4
thats pretty good drag times for everything on the engine being basically stock not to mention firebirds and trans ams are heavy .. gets some engine mods maybe a supercharger and you would probably be pulling 11s or maybe 10s

I call your bluff, a stock SS wont even run a 12.7 and the cars are the exact same, just a different body. Nice try though

I saw it in person, sorry bud. Also saw a '06 GTO run 12.7.

gto is way faster than stock trans am
they dont run the same ws6 is slower
METALMULISHACO 2 years ago
Not in the 1/4, after that the LS2 GTO will pull because of more hp., it's common sense dude. And it's not "way" faster, they're both Pontiacs except the T/A looks "way" better, so stop hating. I like them both but would hands down take a WS.6 or Firehawk over a GTO anyday.
PONTIACMUSCLE1 2 years ago 2
ROFL! LS1 for LS1 an F-Body would waste a GTO
now LS2 for LS1 would be a BETTER race.
LS2's would pull because they're 6.0s over 5.7's
SIRHC45 2 years ago 2
'zackbranch'... I forgot to mention that stock for stock the WS.6 is a couple of cunt hairs faster than the SS in the 1/4 because of the better ram air induction on the T/A.
PONTIACMUSCLE1 2 years ago
love cunt hairs!!!!!!!!!
brantford88 2 years ago
yeah but what color of cunt hairs ? makes all the difference in the world
bigcheifsmokempuff 2 years ago
Yea, I don't really know if there's any real truth to that or if it's just coincidence. In a quarter I don't know that you'd get up enough speed to make the ram air have any real effect, and at speeds high enough to gain any power, it's offset by the increase in drag. A WS6 may be a little faster than a Formula or a Z28 because the hood is lighter, but I think that's about it.
jimbo98z 2 years ago
stock, a ws6 can run a quarter at around 13 flat. juuust passing 100 mph. So that isnt fast enough to get some induction into the hood, eh?
Gwanalupe 2 years ago
At 100 mph, the stock WS6 hood generates the equivalent of around 0.15 psi. Then you have to take into account the drag induced by having a big scoop catching air on front of the car which will increase the faster you go. Plus, 0.15 psi on a 300+ wheel horsepower motor is not going to be noticeable. You'll get more of a change in a 3-4* change in air temp or a couple percent difference in humidity. It's for looks more than anything.
jimbo98z 2 years ago
.15psi on a 330hp car will add around 3-3.5hp! WOW thats impressive... lol... agreed, its for looks

that right there goes to show you how horrible the track is in Bristol TN. humidity and elevation has A LOT to do with times. a guy I know had an 02 firehawk auto that ran VERY well on the street and he was runnin 13.8 at 101 mph. that was with aftermarket exhaust. my 97 cobra was runnin low 14s at high 90s. I wanted to shot myself till I realized everyone else was runnin shitty. I hate racin there man. 5500 feet elevation and it's ALWAYS humid when the track is open in the summer...damn
midnight347 2 years ago
it might be off a lil more than that man. that's a big jump. I had a 97 cobra and went from 3.27 to 4.10 (about the same jump as you did) and when I was hittin 160 it was really just 120. 140-145 whould probably be 110 tops. that is IF it's off the same amount but I would assume it would be since you jumped about the same. the best thing to do is a highway run with a chick who doesn't know any better and tell her to watch the speedo....they shit their pants when it passes 160 QUICK lol
midnight347 2 years ago
Our 99 Z28 Ran 13.10 stock. Our 01 Ram Air car ran 13.03 with an air lid only. You can watch the video and see and it doesnt have slicks, but it does have sticky DOT tires.
79TAKid 2 years ago
By no means is a firehawk a stock trans am. 4.30 gears will get 12.9 with slicks
wally2714 2 years ago
Wouldn't ya run 4th gear out (in the 1/4) with 4:30's and a 26" tall tire?? I thought 4:10 was a low as one should go for a street/mild strip car with 26" tires.....
