Hey guys. I actually got this car about a month ago, today was just the first day I could clean it up and take pics. Details:

2001 Firebird Formula, bone stock, never raced or modded
45,XXX miles
3.23 gears
T-Tops
Leather, Monsoon, power everything
A4 (A built stalled auto will be sweet at the track )
White with black interior.

Since I've got it, i've just done the maintenance stuff-full seafoam, oil and filter change, rear diff fluid change, radiator flush, brake fluid flush, tranny flush, power steering fluid flush, etc. I'm going to take it to the track soon to get some stock baselines, and then I'll start the mods. Here's the pics:

 

Sweet. I've always liked that year Formula. I wanted that instead of my G5 GT but too shitty for the winters up here. Nice car though

 

I love firebirds. I hope to eventually get one.

 

I was actually named after someone who died in a 77 T/A. Nice ride.

 

good choice sir...i had a 93 formula with the lt1, you wont be dissapointed with that ls1!

edit: BTW, I loved my magnaflow exhaust on those 5.7 litres......just a heads up.

 

i want a 01 trans am ws6

 

ur gonna love that ls1.. id say cam and tune low 13 sec for sure mid 12s if u can hook off the line with some decent tires even if u dont still a high 12 low 13 sec 1/4 mile car i know this from experiance i used to have a 98 trans am with this mine was an auto to.. i have a vid of what it sounded with the cam if u wanna see it just ask

 

Never been raced my ass, i bet that baby won most every stoplight streetrace it came across!

 

Thanks for all of the compliments guys! I had a 1996 6-speed z28, then I modded a 2004 Impala SS, and then the Cobalt SS. I'm very glad to be back in a rwd v8! I will miss the cobalt, and will remember the good times with it. However, I love this car!!

 

that thing is sexy

 

Sweet car man! Ive always wanted a firehawk trans am. Maybe someday lol. Nice formula though. It has a built transmisson? Did I read that right? How do you know it hasnt been raced?

 

Well, the previous owner has had it for the last 5 years, and he didn't do anything but drive it, and didn't do that very much (low mileage). The car is bone stock to the paper air filter, so no built transmission. What I meant was, down the road after the car is modded, a stalled, built, auto will be a blast at the track.

 

so what made you get rid of the ss anyways?

 

girl I used to work with had one, silver and black. real nice.

 

Ohhhhhhh that sounds sweet man. I work with a girl who has a black 01 firehawk. I love that car.....

 

firehawks are the ****....good luck getting your hand on one though.....

 

Nice car!

Yeah I know a friend of mine who has a 02 T/A WS6, you don't want to know how much he paid for it too only 4 years ago...

The last model year WS6's and Camaro SS's are surprisingly retaining their value. At least in my area you won't see one go for under 26k...

 

id say thats a bit more than a replacement

 

you bastard. you had one of the original fastest cobalts if any one was around back then and remember. one of the first ones to help out in tuning if i remember corretly. nice ride. love the white. i had a midnight blue 02 ws6 that i traded in for my balt. it was a convertable so thats why i gave her the axe. but man it never gets old slammin the 6 speed and mashin the gas. get a T/A front and rear bumper if you can find one. and a set of black z06 rims and your outside is set.

 

A combination of things really. This is a cheaper payment which is nice, and the cobalt just didn't really do it for me like this does. This is a better platform for drag racing, the rwd really is alot of fun to drive.

 

 

I know buddy. The cobalt was alot of fun in different ways. I'm just tired of the fwd for awhile, and I was ready to go back to a rwd v8. I always wanted an ls1 f-body, every since the first time my dad let me drive a new one at the dealership he worked for. Now I'm finally able to have one.





Thanks again for all of the compliments. And I'll still be around, someone's gotta keep up the 1/4 mile list.
