That is one sweet car. There a good road course around there to get it on? That's my dream, someday when the formula has a little more go under the hood - do a lapping day on a road course. |

Your track videos are pretty sweet. I have recently acquired another Firebird after a 10 year hiatus of a fun car - a 1988 Formula. Its a tuned port, factory 5-speed car with all the ideal options on ... |

That is pretty sweet, bet the car is a total kick in the pants to drive! Think just eliminating the tire slippage will be enough to break the record? |

That's neat! There's something about a Formula that just oozes muscle car. I really like them!

Thanks! After almost 11 years of no Firebird, can't tell you how nice it is to be behind the wheel of one again. How's the Red Sled these days? |
