Back in a Fbody! As crazy as it sounds, I just really missed fbodies while owning my C5 Z. I just love them. I bought a 02 Formula today. It's an auto and is a "NHRA" edition (idk what that even means) but it is one. It's clean and has low miles. I was grinning from ear to ear while test driving it because I really missed that feeling.
It's bone stock but has C6 Z replicas on it.
I'll get some better pics up in the morning. I still have my C5 Z too. That ain't goin anywhere either.

Welcome back to an F-body. It's always nice to have a Corvette/F-body combo. I should really sell off one of my F-bodies and replace it with a Corvette one day....but I will keep the other.

I'm just keeping it simple with this one. Full boltons, stall, gears, and a good tire to get it to hook.

They only made 901 Formulas in 2002 and even less of the NHRA edition. Good buy!

As taken off www.nhrata.com:
"NHRA Special Edition Formula and Trans Am (2000-2002) was a commemorative edition to celebrate the NHRA's 50 year anniversary (in 2001), and Pontiac being a major sponsor of the NHRA for many years. In 2000 there was a total of 215 NHRA Firebirds produced, of which 97 were Formulas. In 2001 there were only 145 produced and in 2002 there were 535 produced. The total number produced is 895. The rarest are a few Trans Am Convertible NHRA SE models with approximately 15 of them. Basically the NHRA SE comes with PS cooler (which all '02 Trans Ams have now)and GSC's on 16". The autos came with 3.23's and 6 speeds came with the default 3.42. Nothing really that special except for the cool badges. You could only get NHRAs in white, black, pewter, or red. Also, when you ordered a Formula / Trans Am, you had a choice between the WS6 or NHRA package. It was either or, and they could not be combined. Pontiac has been the Official Car of the NHRA since Oldsmobile's departure as Official Car at the end of the 1995 Season. The NHRA option added $1,070 - $1,095 to the sticker price and included (but not limited to) the following: Hurst manual 6-speed (3.42 ratio) or automatic transmission (3.23 ratio), power-steering cooling, P245/50ZR16 performance tires, and NHRA-specific badges & keychain. The appeal of the 1SH option package (NHRA Special Edition) is parallel to the appeal of any "anniversary edition" car or "special pace car edition." It is a special designation to commemorate the NHRA drag racing series. The NHRA badges were made by Morgan Design Group."
I'm jealous man its a freaking sweet car. I'm partial to cloth interiors as well...
