1999 Firebird Formula w/ 40k original miles. I bought the car 2 years ago from the original owner. I have some receipts for some for the aftermarket parts on the car. This is one of the most reliable street/strip set ups I know of.
I dirve the car on a daily bases in the summer months. I drive it to the track and back home, The car gets great gas mileage compared to most other cars with similar set ups. I'd guess around 12-mpg city and 15-mpg highway. The car has gone mid 10's @ 128 mph in the 1/4 mile w/ low 1.4 60fts. It has much more left in it.
I have fallen on some hard financial times and must sell the car asap.

This car will NOT pass emissions as is but you should be able to just bolt on an exhaust w/ a fake or real cat (for visual inspection purposes only) and it should pass. All emission trouble codes have been erased via LS1 edit. I passed emissions last year with an exhaust and a fake cat because it's obd2 the car was scanned and showed no dtcs.
As for inspection same deal...an exhaust and some dot tires should be all it needs to pass.
