Cool car before and after, but why did you do all that to a clean, limited edition LT1 WS6 Formula? Why not an average firebird formula? Hope you kept all the stock parts.

Might be just me, but I think a car like that should stay stock or near stock...

See, I was going to say that he switched throttle body plates. So there is two things.

Car looks great as always. Can't wait to see it in Sept again.

I agree but knew exactly what was gonna happen the minute I found the car! Sad its only got 33K on it, and I did keep all the stock parts but dont ever plan on selling it or converting it back to stock. This has been my dream build since 96 when the WS6 package was released.


Thanks everyone!
