Thanks again! I agree about people who complain about the F-Body being a crude, unsophisticated car...they are great cars and I love the fact that it is unrefined. That is part of the appeal!

No, I am not kidding myselft about the mods, although it is tempting. I have done the full exhaust route, then the heads and cam, and then a whole new motor. It was all fun, but I have a mortgage now and don't want to worry about things breaking and not being able to fix them. I am just so happy to be back in an F-Body...I am just going to enjoy the ride for now....

That sounds like my story with me SOM WS6. I traded an 05 Eddie Bauer Expedition for it back in 2007. At the time it wasn't the best trade but now its like I stole it! I hate I sold my Firehawk Formula!

Does yours have cloth or leather? Mine was leather and it was the only I ever saw with it...of course its not like theres that many around to compare it to.

It has cloth and I love it. I had leather in the Trans Am of course, and in comparing the two, the Formula seats are so much more comfortable!

We need to get some pics together Nathan...

Actually the leather seats that came in the Formulas were not the same as the leather seats in the TA. They didn't have lumbar or the side bolsters...they were the same seats that are in your car just leather. I agree, to me they sit better than the TA seats.

How many miles on the Hawk ?

I love that color. Just for fun I looked in Autotrader for a less than 15K Camaro SS but there was nothing! Nationwide!

My car is an '01. They only made 20 SOM Formula Firehawks total.

It has aftermarket springs, but I do have every original part. Thanks again!
