As is, this car is as reliable as it gets. Drive it to and from the track and make 10 second passes all day long. It has never left me stranded, and I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere. It is one of the faster NA cars around.
The car is a 2000 Formula hardtop. I bought it from its original owner in 2007 when it was bone stock. The car had about 68K miles and was owned by an older woman, who was selling it because she and her husband were starting a family. It now has about 93-94K miles on it (heads/cam/intake only have about 5,000 miles on them). I’d rate the exterior 8.5/10 and interior 9/10...it's very clean. Car has a clean title…Carfax is perfect and no accidents ever (have Carfax available if you're interested).
The car amazes a lot of people…for being an all motor car it works extremely well. Many, many locals can vouch for it.
On to the modifications…

No expense was spared and the car is built extremely well. It is not some hack job of random parts thrown together like 90% of most modded f-bodies...everything is well thought out and it works! It makes awesome power and runs very well at the track. Due to having a spool, not having ABS, etc, it is not going to drive like a stock car. But, it does have good street manners and I have no problem driving it anywhere. I have many more photos...just ask. Might consider trades for an LS swapped fox body or something interesting that's quick (can add some cash for the right car). Thanks for looking!
