Old vs New So after months of instigating, my brother and I were leaving a car show at the same time and had the opportunity to have a little fun. He's got a 75 Firebird. Pontiac 434 stroker, Edelbrock heads, all the goodies, going through a Super T-10 4-speed and 3.73 gears. His combination is supposed to make around 500hp but his car hasn't been dynoed. My car is a 99 WS6. Ls6 intake, headers, ORY... Y'all know the usual. Should be at around 360-370 to the wheels. Anyway, we both nail it in third at about 45mph and I have to say, he was pulling on me until his carburetor ran out of gas. We've decided he needs a better fuel pump. Technically I guess I won, but I'm not a punk like that. I was getting drug... LoL. Fun times with family.

old pochos with the right parts make a lot of power, even by today's standards.

Yes Sir. One of the most underrated and underappreciated engines ever. I've always been an old-school Pontiac fan until I got my WS6. I still cringe when I see a Pontiac with a Chevy or LS swap done.

almost got a 68 firebird with a 400 but decided to get an 02 ws6 instead, part of me regrets the other part doesn't so much. had a spot of bondo on the rear quarter that scared me off. very cool cars the older muscles are.
