Default Pic of a pic of my old 97 Formula

I found an old pic of my first LT1. So I took a pic and thought Id share.

This car I bought brand new and with a bit of practice I got it to run 13.7 at 101 bone stock, then started modding car went low 11s at120+ on the gun with a hot cam....then it blew up!!! Those are 97 16" Firehawk rims in case your wondering.

Tuned for the cam/ to much spray and no N20 tune. Newb mistakes. Back then I didnt have the internet. So we learned on our own.
Car went mid/low 12s @111-112 NA.It was fast for its day.

I would have kept the car but about week b4 the motor went i cracked the fender, got hit on the side and damaged the qaurter panel, and the trans needed a rebuild after my last race. So I traded it in plus the money from the insurance for a new 00 Formula

The dealer wholesaled the car, and an older guy a few blocks away owns it now, but Ive never really talked to him about it. Sounds stock with the cat back now.

Not many good ones at all, that was b4 digital cameras, theres a couple ill see if I can dig up? It was a Black hard top, cloth, A4, with Suncoast WS6 hood and chrome wheels.
I sold it a while back and started racing snowmobiles. Never loved the LS1 and always wanted back my LTx, so when I found my current WS6 I was all over it

haha. those wheels and the wheels that were on the v6 (those fugly stockers that have like 185 size tires on them) are tarp weights

those wheels that are on the v6 were off of a 2000 T/A... and i immediately swapped them to the formula!
