Default 1st Ls1
Recently bought a 98 Firebird Formula and drove it home to snowy Buffalo on a clear dry day.Mods to come as I have a while untill spring and I get it on the road.My last toy was a 92 lt1 Vette,as first impressions go the bird seems faster.
Glad to be a member..at last. It took me a year to find this car (winter special clearance) but I have been a lurker on the boards for some time now.

SOUNDS ABOUT RIGHT. BE PATIENT AND LOOK IN THE PARTS FOR SALE SECTION, AND U CAN USUALLY FIND A USED ONE FOR A REASONABLE PRICE.
