Yes. I went from a 320whp '97 WS6 to a 109whp '01 Tib. I got many disapproving comments and looks from my car club.

That's when you boost it and shut them up.

Unless you had some power houses that is. I've seen those things built to hades and back.





My brother has that gen Firebird as well, but his is an auto V6. Every time he tries that crap I remind him that my 31 year old NA 4cyl (though heavily modified) makes more power, has better fuel economy and weighs considerably less. That shuts him up pretty fast.

Well, my buddy's 2.1L 60-1 boosted Integra (600whp) could waste about half the guys in my club. Another 25% would be about even and the last 25% would smack their license plates on the ground as they left him in a cloud of rubber dust.

And in that case nothing lost or gained.
