Wink -- SOLD -- 2000 NHRA Formula Hard Top - Decent amount of mod's

I am the 3rd owner of this clean Formula. I drive it almost daily. It still has the stock short block and some mod's as listed below. Let me know if you would like more information. Feel free to email me at turbows6@hotmail.com

Was Asking $12,000 -- Now Asking $11,000

I don't believe the car has ever seen the track, and was stored in the winter by the last owner.

- 2000 Pontiac Firebird Formula "NHRA Edition"
- 85 NHRA Formulas with Auto Trans sold in 2000
- Hard Top
- Stock LS1 bottom end

- Texas Speed 228R Camshaft (228/228 .588"/.588" installed at 50,000 miles) TSP 228R Cam ......... original cam goes with car
- Precision Industries "Vigilante" Torque Converter (2800-3000 stall)
- Dynatech Stainless Long Tube Headers
- Dynatech Stainless Y-pipe with High Flow Catalytic Converters
- Borla Stainless Cat Back Exhaust (with 3 plates)
- LS6 Intake with FAST 36-pound Injectors
- GM Factory MAF Sensor with screen
- Carbon Fiber Lid with K&N Filter
- LS6 Valley cover and PCV System
- Factory 4L60E Transmission with shift improvement kit
- Aluminum driveshaft
- Factory 10-Bolt Rear with stock 3.23 Gears (no whine)
- Aluminum Rear End Cover
- Eibach Lowering Springs
- Weld-in subframe connectors
- Tubular Panhard Rod and Lower Control Arms
- Two-point strut tower brace (ceramic coated)
- Factory Torque Arm
- Just installed Russell Stainless Steel Brake lines (flushed entire system)
- Factory Brake Calipers painted red
- Slotted and drilled rotors and new pads (about 5,000 miles ago)
- Interior is bone stock, Ebony Cloth
- Factory Monsoon stereo system
- Windows tinted (not sure how dark)
- Aftermarket Alarm system
- Aftermarket Ram Air Hood with Decals
- Torque Thrust 2 wheels with painted black centers
- Sumitomo 315/35-17 Rear Tires (about 4,000 miles on them)
- Sumitomo 275/40-17 Front Tires (50% tread)

I have the center panel for the rear with the NHRA badge. I don't keep it on the car for fears of damage or vandalism. Car also comes with a very nice car cover.

Car was tuned by RPM Motorsports in Garner, NC (Ryan Robinson's shop) and made 415 horses at the tires with the Borla closed on 92 Octane. This car is lots of fun to drive on the street. With the engine mods and converter, you can spin the tires at will, and even from a 45mph roll at times on the on-ramp

Since this is a driver, there are a few minor blemishes on the car. I have high resolution shots of these areas if you would like to see them.

I don't get on here as much as I used to, so please email me or PM me to get my attention! I am going through a divorce and in a new job as well, otherwise I would hold onto the car. Thanks for looking!

It's hard to get financing on a car of this age. NADA retail is under $9k and banks only loan 80% of that. Trust me, I tried.

Depends on the institution. My credit union loaned $11k on it last year. Told them it was a WS6. Some institutions don't care about special options, but some do.

The original owner never had the roof replaced. there is a few minor bubbles, but barely noticeable really. One of the first things I wondered about when I bought the car. My 1998 1LE car never had an issue at all, but then they changed the process

Supposed to be getting a call on Tuesday from a potential buyer...we'll see
