2001 Pontiac Firebird V6 A/T

Anyone know the ratings/specs/times of these? My friend has one and it seems pretty fast... he claims to have beaten a Boxter, and also does high 13s stock.. and with the reprogrammed ecu tuner thing, he does low 13s.. and he says he has timeslips, but when he moved it got lost. He raced my friends 2001 Civic LX sedan auto, and made it look absolutely ridiculous... my friend in the pontiac floored it for about 3 secs and let off the gas, just rolling, and the civic is waaaaaaay back at WOT trying to catch up LOL. I just dont think those specs sound right for a v6 a/t

I have to aggree, v6 a/t running low 13's? Where do i sign up for the laugh fest? Yea, i could run 13's, maybe AFTER i get the Nismo supercharger..... and theres no way an auto v6 is faster than my car.

BTW - Any newer firebird (even a/t) can make an auto 7th gen look slow. thats not an illusion your seeing. Damn, even the manual 7th gens make the auto ones look slow!
