I remember reading somewhere along the line that for a long time they were the fastest Trans Ams ever made. Don't think this still holds true. Worded that wrong before.

Oh...and the ram air formula firebird runs low 13s...not 12s. Just a little faster than the turbo TA which runs in the mid 13s. Both are pretty fast for stock cars. http://www.ls1fbody.com/1999_Quickest_Cars.htm Very cool article. I love the pic of the VR4 at launch.

There have been a number of cases of guys picking up there cars going right to track and running 12's but I agree for the most part they ran in the 13's (but then switch drivers on any car and it will run different times, that doesn't mean thats what the car is capable of just what that driver can get it to do but I am sure you guys know that)
