weird race gsr vs. 96 trans am
i was coming home from andover mass, which is about 1 hour from where i live tonight at about 2:30 and i saw a black trans am on the highway and no one was aorund so i figure why not... i raced him about 5 times from around an 80 roll and stayed even, or pulled about a car length up to 120, then we both took the same exit and i saw him starting to pull two lanes over so we could both floor it and we did, from a 30 roll, up to about 125 he only pulled about 2.5 lengths, i was very surprised, and i had 2 buddies in my car and he was solo, does this sound weird to anyone else?

Re: weird race gsr vs. 96 trans am
It had to be a newer V6 (200HP).

it had the dual twin tip stock trans am exhaust, and im pretty sure it said trans am on the lower front part of the passenger side door, i know it sounds weird but maybe he had like 200k miles on it or something

Re: weird race gsr vs. 96 trans am
Tran's am would have eaten you alive, Had to be a V6 or the guy seriously doesn't know how to drive.

Re: weird race gsr vs. 96 trans am
trans ams are easily distinguished by Firebirds by a more aggressive body trim with a spoiler that actually gaps from trunk.

And the rear tail lights have a black honeycomb mesh inside of them. Firebirds have just red with no pretty design. Oh, and you could get the V6 models with a sport exhaust. Which gave the a dual exhaust look. I believe it was good for, 5hp. My buddies mom had a '95 Black Camaro V6 auto with it. His dad had a '95 Red Camaro Z28 auto. Cool family.

alright, ill tell you right now, it had to be a crappy driver and an exhausted motor, im positive it was a trans am, it had the raised spoiler, and the mesh tail lights. i know it doesnt make sense, seeing as i had 2 extra people in my car and i still hung with him... but hey, sometimes you get lucky.. btw that same drive home i was in the middle of a three lane highway cruising at 80 with a new GLI and an RSX on each side of me for like 10 miles , no one made a move though... shitty

Maybe he was just playing with you and wanted to see how fast your car was.

Re: weird race gsr vs. 96 trans am
I thought only 98 and up tran's am's had the honeycomb along with the ls1.
I raced a 96-97ish trans am with no honey comb and it deff was an lt1 equipped car.

Re: weird race gsr vs. 96 trans am
If it was a 96, and a T/A, then it definetely was an LT1 (285 hp). It shouldn't have had any scoops on the front either (unless it had the ram air option, and I'm not even sure they offered that on T/As in 96).
The LS1 wasn't around in 96 in any GM car. It came out in 97 in the C5 Vette, and then was available in 98 model F-bodies.
