Default Heya!

Hey! Nice place you have here.
With any luck I will soon aquire a Red 1995 Firebird base model. Needs a little love, but its all good. I have some spare 9b turbos I may throw on for good measure.
Anyways, this seems like a great place! Tons of info and nice people. Good to be here

I have a quick question.
I just ran a carfax on the car I plan to buy....checking with the specs from consumerguide, its the 3.8 V6. 200hp and 225 torque. How do these babys haul? Do they perform decently (compared to other cars on the road...hondas, mitsus, etc)? Thanks
