the firebird was not comparably equipped to the camaro. camaro had SLP goodies but the ws6 didn't. i think... thats what i gathered from context clues from teh articles

Why was the HP the same on the F-bodys but the torque was different? I would think they would be the same?

the suspension is fully extended. the front is either landing or never got fully off the ground. remember the back of our cars is significantly lighter so it will go higher in the air

cool article.... somthings fishy about the firebird to camaro stats tho.... they should be closer than that... it says the firebird is lighter with same gears motor trans and all that... and its that much slower...??? i mean its 5 tenths faster... thats alot for how the same these cars are... i can see2 tenths maybe 3 at the most.... driver error?
