Every car I've owned over the last 7 years... at the drag strip, making rounds.

And even one I didn't own..





When my Trans Am was in the shop being painted, I rented a Cavalier and took it to the track that night.

The T/A isn't any different than my Formula.... actually the Formula has more invested in mods.

If you mean the old '73 Firebird Esprit.. It was a little too far gone to tear into. Had a shitload of problems, and I didn't have the money at the time to fix them. One day I'd like to rebuild an early 2nd gen, though.

Yeah, it would be even cooler if he hadn't redlighted.

What happened to the red bird?

Did the rental place ask about the white dust on the windows? "What is this 13.5 on the window for?"

"mini-me"

I cleaned it up pretty good before I gave it back... I was dialed in at 18.90... car was not consistent at all, and I got hosed by the heat soak. Ran a 19.08 on a 18.90 dial.

Had to be the most boring quarter mile I've ever run, I don't know how these silly rice boys can handle that ****.


Here's the best times for all of them... dunno about the trap speeds, but the E/Ts are all accurate..

73 Firebird: 18.03 @ ~70 mph (?)

Rental Cavalier: 18.89 @ ~65 mph (?)

01 Alero: 15.791 @ 87.92 mph

02 Impreza 2.5 RS: 17.13 @ ~ 80 mph (?)

98 Formula: 13.331 @ 105.84 mph

Keeping the Formula. The truck will probably only be around another year or so. I may sell it and just drive the Formula for a while.

Right now I'm waiting to see what GM shows in the way of a new F-body... as soon as that is shown, I'm gonna make my decision. If they bring back the Firebird, I'm putting down a deposit for a 5th gen pretty shortly after the announcement.
