August 2004 - James Dowles' 1997 Firebird (12secondv6)
This is my little V6. It started out as a mid 16 second car and now is spinning to almost high 11's in the quarter mile. I will continue to be dedicated to the V6 F-Body world.
I wanted something that had not been done. I wanted to beat ALL that said it could never be done.
As for mods..... well....how about we say this...I still run a stock cam in my junkyard motor. I spray a simple 100 wet shot of nitrous which goes through my stalled and built to hell transmission which then goes to the junkyard rear with little 3:23's (thanks Jenn!) and a locker.
