I raced a V6 Firebird once... I saw him trying to take on an Audi A6 or something (that thing SMOKED him). I figured he probably had an 8, since he was willing to try something that powerful. Still, he hung with me decently. I didn't shift the best, and the roads weren't great for it, but I DID win with little trouble. I found out he had a 6 afterwards (kinda killed the thrill...)
Those 6s aren't fast by any means. Chances are that an 89 probably has some lost power due to the age of the car as well. It's not entirely impossible.
From www.camarosource.ca : The V6 engine for RS Coupe models was the 173ci, 135hp (RPO LB8).
That means he had a whopping 10 horsepower on you, 300lbs of exrtra weight, and 3 more years of what was probably harder use (people generally abuse sports cars). The only thing he probably had on you was a bit more torque from the larger engine. Why does everyone see this as BS? I'd love to see someone do a LITTLE research before throwing up the BS flag!
