96 WS6 Formula This past weekend, I bought back my old WS6 
I sold it in '01 with 58K miles. I picked it up with 60500 miles. He only put 2500 miles on it in 8 years, with only 500 in the last 4! Its basically just like I sold it to him.
Still has all the mods that I put on. Everything is just like it was in a time capsule. Drove it 1000 miles to home and it was flawless.
I'm going to fire up LT1 Edit and work on the program. I've learned a lot more than I did back then and should be able to pick up a few more ponies and better driveability.
Anyway, it'll basically be my wife's car and the goat is going to be all mine from now on. It's been since '98 that she has been to the track. She got it down to 12.8 back then. We'll see how good she is now over 10 years later
Here's an old pic. More to come after cleaning it up from its trip home. To bad its raining...

Wow, must be a great feeling to have it come back home to you after so long, awesome shape. My first drive was in a F-body was a '94 Formula LT1 when I was 18. 8 years later, I finally got a '00 Formula, oh what memories I had when I drove that home, good times!

He did fix things though. He broke the rear and installed a TA cover that wasn't there before. A header gasket burned and he had replaced also. He also put a fresh set of Nitto drag radials on in '02 when the old set wouldn't pass VA inspection...those had 15K miles on them
All in all though, I'm glad he didn't beat it all up. Its just like the old days. My wife sure likes it as she drives it more than I do now. Hopefully we'll hit the track one of these days to see what it'll do.
It's all good on our end, lots of fun and memories.
