How in the world do you find these cars? I'm jealous. The Formula looks sweet. So when are you going to install the goodies on the Formula? I imagine you had to trim the rear fender for the 28" tire.

Tony,
Just out of curiosity have you done anything to you're rear-end on the formula.

Mr. GOGO-minivan, the 28" radials fit without cutting anything. They don't expand like regular slicks would. Probably 3/4" clearance on front and rear. I found the Firehawk browsing on ebay. It didn't hit the reserve during auction, so I emailed him an offer. The ProCharger D1 and forged 348 will be installed in the black car hopefully this winter, the engine isn't completed yet. I'm shooting for ~700 rwhp with it.

OldBlue, the black Formula has a Moser 12-bolt under it.

SSilver, I've been looking for a SOM Hawk Formula since 2002. Since they only built 2 of them in '01, and 16 of them in '02, they didn't come up for sale often. And when they did, the sellers wanted $30K+ for them. I'd consider it "the" 4th gen I've always wanted. But, the black WS6 Formula is also rare, 1 of 20 built in 1998

from what i understand out of the 16 they made 4 of yours, 2 6speed and 2 auto, which would make your car 1 of 2? is that right? either way both of those formy's are bad ***

20 total sunset orange Formula Firehawks in '02
16 were 6-speed, 4 were auto
not sure how many were cloth vs leather (this one has cloth)
not sure how many were t-top vs hardtop (this one has t-top)

Only 2 SOM Formula Firehawks in '01
1 auto, 1 6-speed

either way, it spells rare

Congrads on the purchase of your new toy. Plus the bogarts look sweet on your car. All I have to say is I'm jealous, and I wish I could afford as many toys as you.

Thats crazy I guess people up in St. Louis have good taste in cars and keep them in good condition. I flew there to pick up my WS6 back a few months ago with 7,800 miles on the clock and drove it back to GA.

Even funnier is that the convertible '02 35th Anniv SS I had, the buyer lived in St Louis and flew down here to drive it back home.

Hey Tony, I can't wait to see what you do with the new Formula. As for the black Formula it should be a mean beast. BTW we all know my little minivan can put a hurt'n on you any day.
