Default Got another car this weekend.....

came across this couple weeks ago so i decided to go check it out. its the cleanest 1999 f-body i came across. its not perfect on the outside but its one hell of a ride for the money.

1999 Formula Hardtop m6..cloth interior,power everything, 12 disc changer, mostly stock...has after market exhaust and a Maf sensor which will be changed out pretty soon....it doesnt even have a lid on it. 26,763 miles and its solid. just thought id share....ill get more pics of it later on.











now with its first engine mod...a new lid...

Awesome choice! If I had to do it all over again, then I would either get a '97 LT1 Camaro SS or an LS1 Formula. Those Formulas completely blew away the Trans Am's and Camaro's front-end and they were nowhere near as played-out. Damn, you got it with a cloth interior and a hardtop too--nice! My only problem with the Formula was that big, wide *** with the duck hips, but that problem can be solved with Corsa Pro exhaust tips and 11 inch wide wheels.

Very nice ride. Black LS1 formy's are cool and low miles too. I picked up a 99 T/A over the winter w/ 20k miles for a low price but I would have rather had a formula.

it was worth it though...car is clean and still smells like a new car inside which suprised me for an 8 year old car.
