vette vs. fbird

1991 350 vette racing a 1985 305 firebird. Sorry, I have to clarify. The bird was heavily modified ( estimated 300 horsepower), the vette without any modifications.

Shouldve took all that "heavy modifying" money and bought a 350 or ls swap

@mattspontiacta Thanks for the common sense to know that 3rd gens are not that heavy and that it was only engine making the vette run away.

2nd generation firebirds are heavy 3700-4000 lbs. 3rds and 4th generations are 3500 lbs. The 91 vette is a 250 hp 350ci. If the vette would have been a 92 it would have had the 300hp LT1.

Either way a 350ci vs 305ci , 350 wins.

Ummm why do people seam to think that 3500 lbs is heavy compared to 3300 lbs??. i have an 87 Firebird and in only changing the seats i droped my car to 3422 lbs so firebirds are not tanks they are not heavy. If a firebird had 300 hp even at 3500 lbs it has a better power to weight ratio than a vette with 250 at 3300 lbs. so with that said there is no way that firebird was pushing more than 230hp

Newer, bigger motor wins. But I'm still a firebird fan.

why do firebirds have to be sooo damnn heavy

[xxxXW4NT3DXxxx]

The reason the firebird lost was because it had a massive left rear wheel.

@fivestringkilla I agree, "heavily" modified? Try lightly. A LT1 vette should walk away from a L98 car, but a full bolt-on L98 would stomp a LT1 vette until about 130mph or so. Reason being is that a 700r4 will not shift into OD so the F-body will continue to rev in 3rd gear well past its powerpand, and the LT1 will happily sing to 6k no problem
