02 Firehawk or 05 GTO
#82
Just my experience
I vote for the GTO because it is a better automobile with a newer motor.
I own an LS1 Z28 that has many passes at the local 1/8-mile track. It has a Yank SS3600, 16’ Nittos, cat-back; air lid and FT ram air. I also have 5177 NOS and some small 60-horse jets because if you run under 7.5 a roll cage is required. It runs 8.2-8.3 without the bottle at 84-85. This car would only run 9.0 at 80 when stock.
I also own a ’05 M6 GTO and after a very easy long break in I took it to fun night at the track. I managed a best of 8.5 at 86. That is half a second and 6 mph faster than the Z28 stock.
My brother has always been a Pontiac Firebird owner and he has a ‘02 Firehawk. It is also just the way it came (no mods).
We raced 3 times from a roll in first gear (his request). I could just barely pull him in first and second but in third I pulled over 2 cars on him. We let off at just over the century mark each time with the GTO pulling away fairly hard.
I don’t mean to make anyone mad but these are just my experiences.
