Got a 95 Firehawk. Would love to find a 98+ Formula w/ a 6-speed, cloth interior and solid roof. That would be my ultimate sleeper!

yea what they said... got a 1970 1/2 here (well, soon anyway I hope).

I have a formula 1993 red w/ 105k. Gotta love it. Ricers hate it. I cant tell you how many times I come up to a ricer and he revs at me, I open the cutout and then they run away..lol precious moments. One time I met up w/ a 1997 Formula WS6 m6(which are friggen rare) and I raced it 4 times and beat it, pretty sweet.

I am an old deeeemented guy, and the proud owner of 5 Formulas 97,98, 2 99's and a 02 4 1LEs and a Firehawk. It's great to see all the interest in these cars.

I wanted a Formula WS-6, but in 2001 they were over. I hate looking in my rearview to see the big spoiler.
