Looks like a 91-93 model. 300HP/300TQ
checked the times:
1991 Pontiac Firebird Formula (0-60)6.5 (1/4)14.8
vs.
1991 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 (0-60)5.3 (1/4)13.8
Doesnt look that bad even next to an LS1 SS
1998 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 SS 5.2 13.6
The 94+ runs 13.5 stock with the only change being 2 more lbs of boost (320hp/320tq) Nothing to sneeze at when the wick is turned up to 5-8lbs over stock.

Cars are cars, but that comment was rediculous
PS: After looking at your mods, his car is a whole second faster than yours. Soo, why all the hate? Hes a car guy that got a new (quick) car. ???

Your vehicle might be used, but I gather from your mindset that you would have no problem, given the budget, to purchase an import new. As I'm sure you are aware, the profit from that vehicle goes back to Japan (or whatever country your vehicle originated in), instead of staying here in the United States. You are also suggesting that we all do the same, and I'll put my foot down and say NO, you can take that import and shove it.

As far as handling, it's obvious that any car can be made to handle well and go fast. I have owned an f body, I have drivin it around turns . I now have a vr4 and I have driven it around turns. Who here has more information onto which can handle better?

1forest1, my car in a V6, no way a performance engine. When I drop in the V8, then tell me how much faster his car in.
BlackTA98 LS1: Sure, what ever you say. Its obvious that your using childish comments to start something. You go ahead and drive your car, I really didn't expect you to all of a sudden see the light.

Oh great, I'm bring out the import boys
When referring to my cars (check fquick for them), they were all assembled in this country, with most of the parts made here (1992 is the only one that might have some imported items). When referring to American cars in general, I do know that alot of the parts were made in other countries, and the vehicle itself most likely was assembled in Canada, but the profit (which is what I was referring to the entire time) stays in the United States.
And BlackTA98 LS1, check the fquick for vehicles with >=200HP

I can hardly understand what you said in this last post of yours.
The mitsu v6 IS a performance engine. A stock short block that can make 800-900 crank hp.
Last I checked my ls1 buddies were upgrading blocks and other parts LONG before that even though they have 2x the displacement. Man what a piece of **** that mitsubishi is. ****!! It cant only make 300hp/liter stock
If your motor could do that 1800hp! woot!!! If you know what you are doing then drivetrain repair and upgrades are easy to find. You just cant pull out your summit catalog.
Seriously, you have a v6 rustbucket and you have the right to talk trash on anyone????? I think not. You even think your car is some genuine American product. Oh well, if you never even passed english class I'm sure you don't know anything about economics.
Newer Corvettes are very very nice looking cars. the WS6 looks mean....your v6 ummm..well you got the short end of the stick when it comes to ugly v6 F bodies.

Lets see, I was referring to MY V6 when I said it wasn't a performance engine. And I'll have you know that there isn't a spec of rust on my car, oh but I forgot, you can't see past the stereotype!

With that being said if you have the patience and knowledge to keep them running and mod them they make for a great street car; 1.6 60fts on street tires makes for an *** whoppin on many f-bodies stoplight to stoplight unless the fbody is rolling on drags ( not many do daily )
You guys need to realize that every platform has its strong points, if youve raced a TT 3000GT or Stealth from a stoplight (even a stock one ) and was not impressed you ran accross what we call "i dont know how to drive my car" syndrome. Blame the drive of the car not the car itself.
