got my new car!!!!
ok well i just drove a 87 pontiac firebird formula ws6. it has a 400 cubic inch chevy v8 and an automatic transmission woth a nice shift kit (shifted amazingly by the way). custom racing seats with 5 point seatbelts. no t tops, power windows and locks. pretty nice. needs a little body work but its not to bad. the guy im buying it from works a a place that builds race cars. lol its pretty col shop. well anyways, the engines got like 10000 miles on it and it has a posi rear end with like 3.83 gears or something. its red, and hes got like a .500 lift cam in there i think he said. and a full ehaust and i think its dual, like true dual with a x pipe. and hes got a K&N air filter. its tpi, new tires, umm thats all i can think of right now. anyways im buying it on wednesday for 3000 dollars. afteri get it i will have to clean it up and take pics and some sick burnout videos. that thing was a beast. when ever i would floor it i would loose traction, like a all speeds i drive it at today. (just drove it to around some backroads) anyways what you all think? its missing some interior parts and the back left tire came off a while ago and messed the fender up a little. just the tire came off not the whole rim. he might be giving me a 5 speed with it. and he is giving me some new headlamp motors cause the motors in those are known to go out. oh and is it possible to pu a caparo nose and hood on a firebird? cause im not to big on the firebird fronts. and a camaro ground effects from a rs or something. thanks and sorry for the freaking biggest post ever lol.

Re: got my new car!!!!
congrats on the find, that's a hell of a powerful beast, so be careful in it, don't go killing yourself or the car. and don't put a camaro front clip on it, that just screams "redneck".

Re: got my new car!!!!
no hp and torque numbers, but when i go gwt it today after school im going to ask him if hes taken it to the track or dynoed it. i think hes been to the track with it becuase when i was driving it he asked if i ever go race at the track. so i may come back with a time.
