My Supercharged 1987 Firebird Formula 350
11.67 @ 118.57 MPH
My 1987 Formula Firebird 350 runs the quarter mile in 11.67(seconds)@118.6 mph. Power is provided by the factory original Chevrolet 350 V8 with TPI (Tuned Port Injection) force fed by a Paxton supercharger. This car is lots of fun to race on Mustang day, at Raceway park in Englishtown, NJ. Many Mustang owners under estimate this car. I also like to take the car to local car shows, and drive it around town. Here is a time slip of my Formula. My car is the car listed on the left-hand side of the slip; the car on the right-hand side was an 87 Mustang GT, Automatic trans, with very loud mufflers.
