of course, all wheel drive kicks *** //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif

Yeah, not much can touch a WRX STi off the line...

STi will beat an Evo VIII in 1/4...Evo can beat STi a lil bit in the corners so they are pretty much equal..I like the STi better tho

STi can and will beat EVo VIII...if its an MR then the MR would win...every test Ive seen STi has always won...

Aren’t all Firechickens v6s unless it’s a formula 1 or a TA. That being the case you would win I would think

There is no V6 firebirds that I recall..

There was the LS1 camaro, camaro SS, firebird, and the ***** am WS6...was there a regular TA..or only the WS6?

Im confused on the whole firebird/TA thing...I know there was the firehawk early in the 90's..the formula..and then now its just the firebird? And is there just a plain TA, or just the TA WS6? Is it like the firebird is the regular, and the TA is the WS6?

Also..Ive seen a few EVO's take the STi in the 1/4.. the STi has horrid power to the ground...

V6 F-bodies/Stangs are for women ...

Id rather have a v6 then a v8 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif Hmmm, $500/mo insurance and filling up with gas(93octane to add fuel to the fire) every day realy doesnt sound that great.

The standard Firebird is a v6, but can be upgraded to a v8, Same with the Camaro.

The Firebird ***** am came w/ the v8 which could be upgraded to the WS6 (more HP) Same with the Camaro Z28 & SS respectively. That goes for the newer models anyway.

So its a firebird ***** am...not just a ***** am? I thought they were 2 seperate cars..

So theres the V6 firebird,v8 firebird..then the v8 TA,and the v8 TA WS6?

The firebird and TA arent the same car?

IIRC Firebird is the base V6 then a Firebird Formula 1 V8 then an Firebird Formula 1 TA with a HO V8 the WS6 was ram air. Because IIRC on my friends TAs registration it said Firebird Formula 1 TA ,so they're all the same.

aparently when designing the mustang they wanted a v8 for its flagship model and considered it the preformance model, the v6 was refered to as "The secerataries car" as it had better gas milage and consequently weaker engine, i beilive we can all say this carried over to the f-bird, as for that vid, that wrx was deffinately blown (great spool up) and probly would have kept his own way into the mid 100s, as for f-birds, how about my friends '76 with a '66 GTO 400 big block with holly heads, carb, and exhaust? beast puts out about 450 hp and weighs in around 3500, now thats a car I would like to see an STI take

That bird sounds SICK!!!

on a side note, I havent driven my car for a week, and tonight it scared the living shit outta me. It was ****ing spinning from 30mph+ and then would just wag it's tail...I love turbo cars.

So its a V6 firebird, then the Firebird formula, then the firebird TA, then the Firebird TA WS6?

if your too concerned, race on a track that has a corner or two. id bet my life that youd beat a firebird around turns.

i guess so when a wrx is all wheel drive and firebirds are only rwd
