First of all, the only Trans Am that ever had a V-6 was the 25th Anniversary model made in 1989, it had a hi-po turbo V-6. So right off the bat the guy you raced lied. The 1996 Trans AM came with an LT1 V-8 (de-tuned corvette motor) putting out 285hp and 325 tq. Nonetheless, 13 flat in the 1/4 for this car without a cat is very hard to believe. Was it a manual or an automatic? Either way he must have had some mods done to it to run a 13.
I would believe the 1989 vs. 1996 because it was old looking. It was auto from what I could see looking in. The first gear was killer. It just killed the guy in the GTP.
I raced him during midnight madness(run what you brung)at the Maryland International Raceway. He did about three runs and then left. Oh, I forgot to mention he didn't want anybody looking under the hood either. Definitely had something to hide. True car enthusiast to me don't do things like that.
Are you saying Paul Walker isn't a true car enthusiast?!?!
