I'm on my second Formula. First time I looked for a TA and ended up with a Formula because it was a great deal. Second time around I was looking for a Formula. The look has grown on me and I like it better now. I also like how everyone thinks it's a V6.

One of the 2002 guys checkin in, an auto so looking at the last post I see 1 of 492. White car nonetheless, so that must narrow it down a bit.
Recent January mods yeild 376 rwhp - 361 rwtq, but now need track times.

another here, I liked the feature of the Formula compared to the T/A. A little lighter, and most dumb ricers (as compared to smart ricers?) that see my single exhaust pipe think it's a 6-cylinder.

I got formula b/c of the Pontiac racing history behind it. I love Pontiacs. They are the reason we have muscle cars. No flaming please, I won't l;isten to any other arguement

Formula Firehawk here. I originally wanted a 1LE but was a couple three months too late for that so I got what I thought might be the next best thing.
I like it but I still wish I could have gotten a 1LE.

I had a guy ask me @ the car show Saturday night if my car was a six cylinder, he was clueless to a formula. When I bought mine it had a T/A rear hatch on it, I thought about changing it, but I now think it looks good.

I've got an 89 Formula. Best of the 3rd gen f-bodies, in my opinion. 
(Although you won't be able to call it a true "3rd gen" once the current project in my sig is done!!)
