Well being as I used to be a Firebird/Trans Am guy before I got into 2.2 Turbo Dodges the Limpest 4 gen ram air was a 305 horse job back in 96-97. They were rated a low 5 second 0-60 probably a mid to low 14 second car (good six speed drivers being in the high 13's) depending on manual or auto (driver if it's a manual) given the weight difference it sounds like this is the TA you probably ran across and would be a close race down low and one that you'd win the longer it went on because of gearing if he didn't get you in the quarter. Still a pretty good feat to beat a car 90 horsepower your senior when both cars were stock regardless of mods after, shows your getting after it.
