Nice 'bird! Welcome to LS1tech!
If you plan on doing any engine mods, you might want to check out this site: http://www.fullthrottlev6.com/forums/
Good price on the car too. What's the mileage on it if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks all!
No its not a formula, its only a v6 auto but oh man does it sound like a v8.
Its got a K&N cold air filter/intake, a brand new engine due to a dealer messup, and the upgraded exhaust.
Only 83k miles on it too, Ive drivin it so much in the passed week tho its like 84k now :O

Oh yea haha, those pics are from the day after prom.. i got it fully waxed before it.. jeez did it look awesome..
Who needs a limo when you have a FB like this..
I know I got a ton of looks when I tossed the keys to the vallet guy ^_^
I also just spend over 50+ on all meguiars paint cleaner/wax/polish and all the neccessary eqpmt to make it look even better.
Soon Ill be getting it tinted, a raptor hood (if $ permits), and thinkin about getting a T/A hatch, although I dont know how much thatd cost.
I know ill be coming here for any advice on future mods though!

Most everyone here knows how I feel about swapping hoods. Keep the base model hood.

Later down the road the V8 car can be purchased (and possibly keep the V6 car as the DD).

I think v6 will suit me well for now, already showed a few ricers around here how much power its really got ^_^
How about the hatch? It really worth getting a T/A one on it?

Nice car mad, pompano beach?? My mom lives down there, Im probably taking a nice long road trip in august or so.
Thats a great site too, I already know of like 4 firebird sites too, theres so many =P
I think one of the reasons this guy sold it was cause of the steering.. sometimes it jolts to one side and I have to hold the wheel with a pretty strong force. Anyone know what it could be? I hear it either needs a wheel alignment OR something with the ball joints being loose --> which costs a lot more than a wheel alignment :<
