Nice. I tried to find a formula but couldn't find one. Especially an 02. Not sure on the color but it's a good looking car!

Check that out. You have a pretty rare bird for sure.

901 Total

409 6 Speeds 45% 6 speeds

42 Maple 4.7% Maple

and 3.5% of the total Firebird production had the Taupe Cloth

So you basically have a 1 in 1 car right there.

Maple Red Metallic is the best color IMHO. Slick looking ride.

Yeah its quicker than the GXP. The GXP had the 5.3 LS4 with 303 HP 323TQ, along with a 3600 lbs curb weight a only a 4 speed trans. The Formula weighs about 120lbs less with 310HP & 340TQ with 6 speeds. Also too the Formula is geared lower than the GXP.

Basically its no contest.
