Congrats, dude. I know how you feel!

I had to sell my second 94 Formula to finance my Judge acquistion and DD'd a 69 Grand Prix for two years while I got it up and running. Then when I could afford it and got back into an F-body again, I thought to myself "How could I have gone without one of these cars for so long?"

These cars just fit me like a glove and I want to always have at least one.

Nothing like the Vette/F-body combo. I have had this for 4+ years and don't ever think I would change up Looking good!

This is my 7th or 8th one so far... And I think the 12 car I've owned in the past 5 years. I really do like this one though.

It will be for sale by October. I'd put money on it. The car is cool, but it will bore you, and you won't want to sink a lot of money into it because it needs everything, even all of the basic bolt-ons.

Congrats! I used to have a 02 c5z and 98 T/A a4 combo as well prior to joining the service...

Everything was fine and dandy until i started modding the T/A then everything turned sour real quick... And it was bolt on only as well... I was getting to the point where my T/A was getting worse gas mileage and reliability compared to my previous Z...

I would personally would just keep in intake/catback only

When i get my next vette, I will DD my 85 and it will pretty much be intake only like it is right now

And agreed with joelster

but on a serious note, nice clean ride, and i would keep this one because formulas are nice sleepers to some extent

Yeah, but it's hard finding a serious buyer who appreciates the build quality that went into it. I just realized I can't get what I want, and I don't have to sell it, so it ain't goin anywhere. I'd rather keep it than just give it away.
