{2000 Pontiac Firebird Coupe-Hatchback 3.8 (M/T) 2 Dr}

but yeah it would overpower everything tier 1 in terms of durability and energy, because it handles really quick and 14.7 accel would be by far the fastest in beginner so it would be a great energy fighter
it would basically be a great “dogfighting” car, basically killing everything closest to you in the quickest means possible, but in a long drawn out chase it the other cars would be better
but it would be the best thing in beginner for the purpose of getting from point A to point be as quickly as possible and dispatching someone
its like a short range missile with really quick tracking

so yeah if yall see one of these for sale and want a first car, it would be literally one of the best choices you could make
especially if you got the 3.8 with the T-5 manual, but the 4 speed auto is a good transmission too just not as good as the Tremec T-5
the 5.7 is a monster but the 3.8 lasts longer and is more resilient to abuse

the 3.8 series II was used in Nascar and nicknamed “juggernaut” by racing enthusiasts
It also won Ward’s top 10 engine in the world award THREE YEARS IN A ROW.
and it was way up there
that should say a lot
the 5.7 has more power, but you’re getting more value with the 3.8

Read description (final take) - YouTube
0-60 is about 7 seconds , take about a second off that because of manual shift takes a second for power to kick in
so about 6.0-6.3 seconds, give or take depending on air pressure, weather etc
the 3.8 LOVES dry and cool
so TECHNICALLY its around 6 secondss, or would be if the Tremec T-5 would shift perfectly, so its basically on the driver to get higher or lesser results, just depends on things, and today was a good day, I shifted good, I hesitated a little on the launch cause I was nervous lol
from 18 till 41.1 ish seconds was 105 mph :)
top speed is 125
so it took this car 23.1 seconds to reach 105mph.

The end third of the run was slightly on a slope, so take it with a grain of salt (slightly uphill) but it wouldnt hurt the number too much I dont think maybe by like .6 of a second but
what do you guys think? yay or nay?
I think its pretty awesome for an old V6

it could honestly probably spank some V8 engines

@STREnergy change stock accel to 11.1 12.2 is way too high despite how fast it is, thats on par with the tesla cars.
stock attack to 60

and other than that, that should be it. everything else checks out

the accel is still nearly on par with the in-game ecoboost which inRL has more HP and torque by a considerable margin
but the 13.8 has an extremely well designed block and power curve which is why it bumps up the stock accel im proportion to its power numbers.

@strenergy…im sorry
That was my OCD and ADHD kicking in, and my anxiety lead to me thinking about it too much and second guessing.
I took my meds earlier, I was in town and literally like an hour after I left that comment I was wanting to say NONONONOWAIT IGNORE THAT
sigh…sorry.
Pls revert back to 12.2 or whatever it was, 12.2 is accurate and true.
Attack to (stock) 67
11 is too slow. Firebird has way more power than that.
:facepalm:

yeah. @STREnergy
when you see that, that isn’t a typo. I was delirious.
Its very hard to control when my meds haven’t kicked in yet, so I apologize.
I do random crap like that for no reason, and you probably remember when I said make the Terrain Destroyer with 22 or 20.0 accel or something you probably remember lol.
But yeah same case here. sorry about that
