In most cases small motors in light cars are faster than big motors in heavy cars. Lets give credit where credit is due, John's Red Firebird hits the scales over 3200 pounds. To run a 7.96 at over 171 MPH at that weight says a lot about the power (Nickens Power) and the chassis setup to make that happen. Also John's Firebird may be the only SS car in the country that has 2 chutes to make the last turn off. Great job John and Judy. Ken and Linda Howell
