Why is a 93-98 Firebird with an LT1 a natural I car when a Camaro is a natural J car? Doesn't make sense to me!!!
Dave, I have been claiming a 1996 all along, and discovered in June of last year that only the 94 and 97 horsepowers were changed to 291! I took advantage of that for over a year! Then last weekend, I noticed the 96 was corrected, but the 95 wasn't, so I claimed a 95! It's NHRA's screw up, not ours! But now some a hole had to squeal and ruin it for us! Oh well, there's one in every crowd!!!

I can answer this part of the question. A trans am is a few lbs heavier than a z28 ( which was no heavier than a v6 car aside from the drive train). the ram air option also changes the factor as well. The formula is lighter than the T/A not sure how it falls in relation to the Z28, the SS is a little heavier but not much and gets the ram air penalty
