2002 Pontiac Firebird Stock Eliminator / Bracket Race Car

This 2002 Pontiac Firebird Stock Eliminator / Bracket Race Car is a well-maintained, purpose-built race car combining a striking multi-color paint finish with a comprehensive selection of performance, safety, suspension, drivetrain, and race-preparation components. The car is configured for N, M, and O Stock automatic competition and is also suitable for bracket racing applications.

Powered by a V6 engine built by Brian Ebert Racing Engines, this Firebird is reported to run approximately 12.00-second elapsed times in decent weather, with performance in the low 12-second range in temperatures around 97°F. The engine is equipped with an Acell EFI system and a computer-programmed oxygen-sensor port in the header, providing an important setup and tuning feature for competition use.

The transmission is a Metric 200 automatic with a 1–2 automatic shift, paired with an aluminum driveshaft and a Chevrolet 12-bolt rear end. The rear axle assembly incorporates Moser axles along with performance ring-and-pinion gears.

The chassis has been extensively prepared for drag racing. A Chrome-Moly ladder-bar setup manufactured by S&W works with heavy-duty S&W wheelie bars to provide a dedicated rear suspension and launch-control configuration. The car also features a 5-gallon fuel cell, fuel-cell weight box, Mark Williams front hubs, disc brakes, and racing-oriented rotors.

Electrical and support systems include a Red Top 12-volt battery, on/off electrical switch, one-wire East Coast alternator, Painless Wiring switch panel, and a water pump. The car is fitted with AutoMeter lightweight instrumentation, including 2-5/8-inch gauges and a 5-inch AutoMeter Sport-Comp tachometer with playback and shift light.

The wheel and tire combination is race-ready, with brand-new Hoosier 27 x 4.5 front runners and lightweight Hoosier 9 x 30 rear tires. Lightweight Weld Aluma Star wheels are fitted front and rear, with 3.5-inch-wide front wheels and 9-inch-wide rear wheels.

The Firebird’s safety equipment includes Stroud cam-lock seat belts, with the provided information indicating that the belts are in date. The vehicle also features a master cylinder with brake-rod hold-in arrangement, rear strap hold-down shackles, and a stainless-steel swivel rod for the front hold-down system.

Adding to its street-inspired appearance, the car retains working pop-up headlights, while the multi-color paint gives it a distinctive visual presence at the track.

The listed legal race weight is 3,160 lbs, making this a purpose-built package for competitors looking for a Firebird configured around Stock Eliminator and bracket-racing applications.
