Well unless you have the Y87 package on what I'm assuming you have is a 96 Camaro, then I doubt both tires spun. Unless you've upgraded your rearend to a posi unit, then only your right rear tire will spin out.

Why would your car start to misfire because you reached 75 mph? Normally a misfire happens throughout all engine rpm's due to a faulty spark plug, ICM, bad wire, etc..

I'm not too sure about your numbers being right on that. The LT1 averages around 6.3 seconds from 0-60. Now, I'm not too sure about what the 3.8 runs, but it definately can't .6 seconds slower than the LT1. I'd give it a couple more seconds than that. Maybe around 9-10 seconds, that's my guess. You gotta remember, the V6 is having to push all that weight that's normally nothin for the V8.

Sorry, not trying to correct you or anything. Just trying to help you out.
