Default Picked up my LS1 car for $5,900! Check it out!

What do you think, think I got a good deal on this car?







I hope the pics loaded. It's a 2000 Firebird Formula. It has 140,000 miles, but runs strong as hell. The interior is just as clean as the ex†erior also.

The car has the following done to it:
Pace-Setter Long Tube headers
SLP off road Y-Pipe
Cat Delete pipe
Borla exhaust (adjustable settings)
Transmission shift kit (its an auto)
Told it has WS6 wheels on it
Aluminum driveshaft
K&N air cleaner
WS6 rear end

The car runs strong as all hell, if you nail it the car gets sideways tell about 70 mph smoking the tires. It has some cheap *** Kumho's in the rear, and Proxies up front (all are 255's). The car run's 8.790's in the 8th mile at 84 MPH.

I think I got a good car for the money wouldnt you say so? Also has a clean title, no salvage crap.

I'll try to add them to my photobucket in the morning then. That sucks. It's pewter with chrome WS6 wheels. I almost forgot, it does have an ECU tune, the previous owner said it dyno'd in at 350hp and 370 torque.

Good eye, you're right but wrong! lol

Its a T/A (WS6 could be a T/A or Formula) rear bumper, not the Formula bumper.

Peace,
Craig.

I was thinking the actual rear-end, not bumper. Was just poking fun. It's a nice find none-the-less though. Not to mention, it's in a good color too@!

Rear end normally refers to the rear axle/differential. Bumper normally refers to bumper. Just an FYI.

Looks good. I wish I could find deals like that. The mileage is kind of high, but for a few thousand you could rebuild it with a forged motor.
