My friend has a 95 Firehawk pretty much stock except for a short-throw shifter and new exhaust. He's a pretty good driver, so what kinda times do you think he would get in the 1/4? What HP are we looking at?

Those are the specs of the LS1 which wasnt put into firebirds until 1998, since this is a 95 it should have a LT1 making about 305hp and 335ftlbs of torque and was actually a 350.

Supposedly high-mid 13 second 1/4 mile times... I would bet on low 14-high 13 times though.

a firehawk is a firebird OR trans am, with SLP options! the older LT-1 modles, came with 315hp not 305.....the 96-97 WS-6 had 305 the 93-95 Trans am had 275 the 96-97 had 285....they should run high13s stock, all they really have over a regluar trans am, is a stiffer supsen. , bigger ram air box, SLP exhuast, and a few other things, there pretty fast, the fastest F-Bodies are the new firebird firehawks, no ground effects, no wing, less weight, they should run high 12s stock, unless you can't drive it, there ****ing awesome cars! a 95 firehawk is a bad ass ride, its the first yeah they came back, they had VERY rare 3gen firehawks, that were fast too! just my input!
