I have the same color but everything else is opposite, so mine is Rarer (check sig)
Your's is still Rare in that all Formula's are Rare, or should I say seldom seen.
Don't listen to everybody else just enjoy your car.

lol I'm still willing to bet that mine is 1 in under 10 lol

Formulas are nice because they share the body as the base model V6. So if you have quiet exhaust and remove the badges, nice sleeper I know SLP made a single side performance for the 3rd gen, so you could really throw them off with something like that lol

dude, even if there were 304 made w/ your options that'd still be very rare. yes it's going to be a little more rare than 304 - BUT, who cares. if i had something that was so rare then i would be too affraid to drive becuase "oh my god they only made xxx of those."

DRIVE THE ***** FUKKA

That's not all that rare, man.

If I broke mine down that far, it would probably be like 1 of 3.

Hardtop, cloth, A4, no TCS, Bright Purple Metallic.

I figured mine by Hardtop, M6, and NBM and got approx 22. This is figured from percentages of the Numbers available.
Obviously it would be less if I tried to figure for Dark Pewter cloth interior and No traction Control. I also have option QLC which is Performance Tires (Eagle GSC's) over the standard RSA's and R7X which is the Security System w/ Keyless Entry.
It's not worth getting that **** about it Just drive the Car and Enjoy.

Mine is the exact duplicate of yours, except I have the grey leather in mine factory. I wish I had left it alone, but put 17" ws6 rims and an aftermarket hood on it. There were documented total 2123 formulas made in 1998. I am with the guy above- doesnt matter how many were made, they won't ever be considered that rare since they mirror the base v-6 model. If they had their own distinctive design it probably would have been.
