New Formula Owner After shopping around for quite a while, I found a 2000 Formula Ram Air. Pewter, M6 with about 70k miles on it. There are some small cosmetic problems that I'll need to take care of, but the car runs great. I picked it up for 11k with a 2 year 24k mile warranty that covers engine and drivetrain, seems like I got a pretty good deal, but regardless, I love the car.
Now, I can finally post on the forums, no more lurking.

Welcome to the club! I just bought a Black 98 Formula over the summer. Almost 120k miles but at 6500 bucks I felt like I could cover anything that needed to be replaced...
I drove it home and couldnt stop grinning. Probably looked like a maniac to people in other cars...

congrats on your car. same as mine exept for the ws6 package and transmission.
i think its cool having a formula. i always get asked if i swaped a v8 in or if its a 6 banger. here in my town not very many people know what a formula is, they only know about TA'S

LOL the people in my town wanted to know how a tractor service tech with two children could afford a $80000 vette. (police officer asked if I was pushing drugs or something.)
Anyway welcome to the world of Formys. Please do post pics.

I just got one in Oct I was a lurker for over a year. I always wanted a WS6 TA but insurance would kill me so I settled for a Formula. They aren's as bulky as TAs and I saved over a 1300 diff in insurance and I got a great deal 8500 for 58k 99 NBM Formula that is very clean. Now I'm happy I have one and actually prefer the cleaner "V6 look" good luck with your formula.
