  • 8 second v6 firebird

    I know it was up for sale awhile back....anyone know what happened with the car and who owns it now? I'd be really interested to continue to follow the progress of that car and watch it hit 7's....thing was one helluva machine.

    also, does anyone know if Tim was spraying nitrous on that 8 second pass or was it just twin turbo and a built up motor?

        I'm pretty sure it's in the 8's. Silly kids, you need an LSx to run 7's!

                  why in the hell would he? the last thing that car needs is nitrous.

                    I think it could handle it, but only if it was a DP setup, and a low shot.

                        It not that easy with a car like this. Takes some serious planning, and you gotta make sure you don't blow even the smallest thing with adding something else, especially nitrous. Its not cheap and easy at this level of modifying.

                          I always thought the guys that are running 6-8 seconds most were running nitrous?...I guess it does all depend on your set-up though...

                            i didnt say it couldnt handle it.

                            he has enough problems with the car off the line keeping traction as it is, nitrous would just make it more of a pain and theres no need for it with the power he puts out anyways. if he wanted more power he'd bump the boost up.

                              Car just needs 1/2" head studs and it could throw down 40 psi.

                              right now it ran 8.9 at 31, just picture what 40 might do.
