Thumbs up Formula Pics (silver vs black)

Whew, busy day of horse trading

Here are the photos I snapped last night of my Silver racecar Formula in the sunlight, and the photos today of the black Formula I traded it for. With the cash I received on top of the trade, I picked up the 18" chrome iForged Aeros (used) from another member (Shane) on the way home.

both Formulas are 1998 models, the black one is an actual WS6, the silver one is a clone. The silver car is purely a heads/cam drag car, the black one is a street car with heads/cam and 12-bolt. The nice thing about the black one is that it only has 9,740 miles on it and is spotless. I was tired of having a drag-only car that I couldn't drive, and don't have time to race much anymore. Now I have one I can race occasionally and drive daily.

The previous toy:

The black Formula belonged to Jason C. in Donaldsonville, LA. It was basically kept in storage and never really driven. He doesn't post on the site, mostly lurks. He said he would join now though. He sent me an email in response to my trade offer for the drag car, and I'm glad he did

I got to humiliate a silver WRX this evening when I was headed to pick up dinner. Cool kids, gave them the thumbs up. This black one makes ~420 rwhp thru cats.

It was a 9-hr round trip today, plus I live 2 miles from a drag strip

Clean car, without the wheels it is just another Pontiac but those wheels are very nice they make the car stand out. What's the info on the heads and cam ? I liked the possibilities of the silver drag car but you recieved a nice street car in the deal.

I think this one will hang around more than previous predictions, I see you ditching that Dodge Dually for the twin turbo Ford Dually first.
