Default I crossed over to the darkside-98 Firebird Formula
I have owned mustangs for the last 6 years with the last one being a 03 cobra. My wife and I had a baby boy 1 month ago and the cobra was sold to get rid of the car payment. I bought a 98 Firebird Formula Monday to replace the cobra and not have a car payment.

98 Firebird Formula hardtop 99k miles auto

Look at a black LS1 WS6 and tell me it doesn't look evil. I can see why we could be considered the dark side.

For the purposes of this conversation, I think we can just call it the "right" side. And to the OP, yes you have "moved up". You now get to learn the joys of making big power N/A. No more pulleys and bypass valves for you sir...just bolt on some heads and drop in a cam (yes, only one!) and go smoke some Cobras.

I sure hope you find your new team fits you well.

If u miss your Cobra too much you could always ditch the stock intake for a maggie

I spent 5hrs cleaning the interior fri night. , as for the cobra I'm glad the payment is gone and this car is paid off.

Very nice looking formula! One thing I'd reccomend is a WS6 hood, I have one of my Formy and it really sets it off.
