    Nice ride and Congrats.

    Nice. What width tires are those? They look like they have enough sidewall, now to get some with a wide track. Clean Firebird (I think firebird sounds a hell of a lot less redneck than Trans Am)

    ^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle

    Thumbs up

    Jason, I hate you. At least you took my advice for once! hahahahaha I told you these things are a hell of a lot of fun!!!!! Gas mileage sucks, but once you get over that you can really have fun with them. Just buy a crappy import beater for the daily driver and keep the T/A as your drag car.
    I still hate you and it is OFFICIALLY (if you keep this car for more than a week, which I'm hoping) my goal in life to beat your car. Finally some motivation to do things to my firebird. And for the guy that posted on page 1 of the thread. Firebird is a hell of a lot more redneck sounding than Trans Am. And for all the haters, go to wikipedia and read the history of the firebirds and trans ams. I think after you read it, you may be impressed.


    -Danielle




    p.s.- oh yea Jason, if you plan on keeping that car, go to www.gafba.com and become a member.
