Default Just Picked Up My New Toy!

1997 Firebird Formula M6, Bone stock save for a K&N Filter in the stock box. Picked her up with 135k mikes and she runs like a dream. Drove her 120 miles home without an issue.

The exhaust has to go first. It has some little rattles in it that are driving me nuts. So first up is Pace Setter Headers an offroad y and a mufflex 4" cat back with spintech muffler.

Yeah, I found it on thursday, gave him a couple of hundred to hold it on friday and payed for it on tuesday. Im actually from San Antonio, drove all the way up there and it was well worth it.

Thanks for all the complements guys, ive got a long list of things that's eventually going to get done. Working on getting parts for a EFI 24x System, Saving for the Exhaust and so on. I might just put my 3" bullet on it dumped after the y to see if it gets rid of what ever is in there.

Great looking car man, But you should have looked harder. Here in Texas they go for much less, not saying you didnt look but you can find LS1's at $4000

I say the deal was fair. What matters is that it doesn't have any issues.

I hope i didnt come off as bashing the OP, Its a great looking car. All that matters is that he is happy with it and he feels he got a fair deal. Please dont take my comments as bashing

You kinda right on ls1, ls1 is not that expensive any more. I have a 99 z28 automatic for just 2 week and something is wrong with the title so end up gave back the car. anyway I drove it and it not anything special compair to lt1

I like lt1 camaro look better,
I like the trans am ls1 better heheh.
99+ ls1 camaro look like **** ( the front )
93+ lt1 trans am look like **** also ( the front )
over all , it hard to have best of both word on the look lol.
is dallas or tx still bad on about emission or smog ? that kinda limit on the mod, btw any one know if install a electric cut out, if the emission guy look at it and does it automatic made it fail emission ?
