Very cool justA 

I like the list but I am surprised that the Buick GSX didn't make the list. The 455 GS Stage 1 did.

Looks to me that the 4th gen Firebird Formula/Trans Ams...WS-6s...Ain't the quickest but they Are the fastest...With 160 + MPH top speeds...???

Although the fastest I've personally ever driven mine is 158 MPH...Have to drive it in 5th gear to attain that speed...When shifting to 6th gear it loses alot of RPMS/ momentum and will not run over 135/137 MPH...

I just looked it up. A '98 TA ran 5.1 seconds in the 0-60. A 2002 TA ran 4.6. Still damn quick in my book. I will have to assume the difference in performance is different LS1 go fast parts such as cam or exhaust.

My car has the LT1 engine...No traction control...The hardest part is finessing the clutch and throttle...To get off the line without spinning the wheels...The ls1 cars are definitely quicker...But at higher speeds (over 120 mph) there is not much of a difference between a 1997 and a (LS1) 1999...One of my buddies has a 1999 Trans am with an automatic transmission and traction control...He can beat me from a dead stop everytime...But at speed our cars are pretty evenly matched with no advantage one way or the other...But that could attributed to fact that my car (1le) weighs a couple hundred pounds less than a loaded up WS-6 Trans Am...🏁🏁
