I am considering the purchase of a dedicated event car to take to HPDEs, Time Trials and Hillclimbs. I will most likely contest a Street Prepared class during the timed events, but have not made a final decision. The value represented by the 4th Gen F-body is attractive. I have yet to uncover a single source buyer's that details perfomance affecting year-over-year changes and options. Is there such a thing? Any links or attempts at putting together a brief one here would be appreciated.

Unless you are going to remove the headlight assemblies, you will find that the Firebirds are more nose heavy than the Camaros. Don't remember the exact total figure, but I believe it was over 90# for the pair.

Not a chance, unless the assembly's are made of depleted uranium the difference is closer to 15-20lbs (if that). There simply isn't that much to them...

I was thinking that, but I couldn't remember all the reasons why.

The biggest differences are:

1. Better gearing with the 6speeds
2. Speed Density vs. MAF ECM
3. Reprogramming requires burning chips instead of plugging into the ALDL port
4. Batch fire instead of sequential injection

There are a handful of other, really minor differences but those are the only ones that really matter. As you can see most of it is related to the engine management system. That said 93's run just as well as the 94-97 cars, they're just different.
