Hey everyone,
As you can see I'm new to the site but certainly not new to f-bodies ( at least 93-97s). Anyway I'm in the market for a new car and I'm trying to convince my wife that it would not be a huge mistake to buy a '00 Formula. I love the car, its Maple Red Metallic with an M6, 74000 miles. Presuming the car has been well cared for, are there any serious problems I might encounter powertrain-wise with this car? Cosmetic, interior stuff I can deal with, but she mostly worries about costly engine repairs like what I had to put up with on my current vehicle (injectors, tranny, coolant system). I would appreciate any help I can get. Thank you.

definately uprgrade from the 3.4 to an ls1, you won't regret it. just be sure to check the car all around to make sure it is sound mechanically

Maybe I can't post pics from my work computer, i'll try from home.
for nhra: I will absolutely check the car mechanically, i have a more knowledgeable friend of mine going with me to see this car. But if any of you might know of some specific items/problems to look for that would be great. thanks.
