Default Re: Hello!

I still say Black! Sure I have to wash my car at LEAST once a week <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> , but nothing (IMO) is more badass than a tough black car! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

The T/A has a much cooler looking front clip with the cool foglights, and the big ***(for factory) spoiler, and a nicer rear fascia with cutouts for the tailpipes. The Formula has the same syling (AFAIK) as the six-banger.

2001-2002 LS1's have the LS6 intake mainfold, as well as better (28.8 lb/hr I believe) injectors.

Dont get a 6speed, get a automatic. I have a 6 speed and hate it with all my heart, get an automatic and put a big stall in it.

When I looked for my current f-body, there was no chance at all of me getting another 6 speed, it absolutely had to be an automatic. When I get another LS1 Formula someday, it too will definitely be automatic.

I met a guy last summer that bought a black 02 Firehawk.The car was like brand new,however you could see swirls all over it in the direct sun.

After seeing those swirls i was glad i didn't buy a black T/A.
