  • My new ride..... 2001 Pontiac Formula!

    This last year I decided to get my ass back in the game so to speak. It's been over 9 years now since I last owned my second 1995 Cobra. I loved that car. But since then I have had my 98 Z28, and man I LOVED that car. Sleeper look powered by a 383 stroker LS1 with all the goodies. It was a beast!

    I parted ways with that after a disastrous valve drop and motor blow up. I kept it for years, finally sold as a roller and parted it out. I since then got me a bad ass 99 Hugger Orange SS. I liked the car, but never really fell in love with it. It was a Nitrous motor, and a few other things it was set up for were just not what I wanted. I let her go to a great home and now came across this great deal.

    My new to me 2001 Pontiac Firebird Formula! This car feels more like me, I found it from a guy that kept it immaculate. I can daily drive this if I want to, it fucking rocks. Mods list below!

        I was amazed how clean it was. The previous owner was obviously taking great care of it. Nothing like buying a solid ride and getting all the receipts and information on the car when you buy it. Top notch from the guy I got it from.

                        I like it! Guy down the street from me has a 2000 or so Trans Am , black with the two snorkel scoop hood, every time I look in the review mirror and see it coming up behind me, it just puts a smile on my face.

                              I wasn't too sure about the wheels, but when I saw them in person I really liked them. I looked them up online and was surprised how expensive they were.

                              When I got home and looked at all the receipts for this car I was astonished I got it for the price I did. I know all mods and stuff don't add value to a car so to speak, but it has double the value in mods than what I paid for the whole car. I guess sometimes things just work out, and for one time, I feel like I got a really good deal.
