'97 WS6 Formula I've owned a '98 LS1 Trans Am and loved that car, but sold it a couple of years ago to take care of some family issues. I'm now back in the market for another late model performance car, and I really like the 3rd and 4th Gen Firebird lines.
With that said, A neighbor has a '97 WS6 Formula, which I have been admiring for the last year or so. Yesterday he came over and told me he had decided to sell the car. The good news is that because I routinely help him work on it, and installed some aftermarket modifications for him, he offered me the car for $4200. The price sounds really good, but I know very little, other than what I have read online, about the WS6 cars. I have however noticed that I see very few Formula WS6 cars in comparison to the number of WS6 Trans Ams I see. My only concerns at the moment are that the car is a automatic, and that it's a LT1 versus a LS1. Other than that, the car is is very good condition and the details are as follows:
Black '97 WS6 Coupe (no T-Tops)
103,400 miles
Chrome Stock Wheels
Hotchkis Springs, Sway Bars, and Strut Tower Brace
K&N Filter
Underdrive Pulleys
160 Degree Thermostat
Shortie Headers
CatBack Exhaust
Granatelli MAF
Other than a good cleaning, buffing, and a new set of tires, the car needs nothing. My question for the experts here are, what do you think about this deal, and what do I need to be aware of when buying a WS6 car, specifically a LT1?

Be aware that you're getting a killer deal on a sweet (and rare) WS6.

Being the owner of one myself (only 473 made),,,, yes, I would buy it now!
If you don't, I will.....
You can't beat this. It always helps that you know the person you are buying from too. This was meant to happen. Show us pics after you get it. I ilke the lines of a third gen too. But after driving my ls1 and driving my friends 91 gta there is no real comparison. I think your neighbor would feel good if you bought it too then you could have him install performance parts for you!
No T-tops.......ruthless as for tires here's my pick
