I traded my 1970 El Camino for this 1996 firebird with the LT1 motor in it. The guy before me put on hooker headers, Flow masters, cold air flow, lowered the rear end, put 6 way springs in the front end. This car is a rocket ship! It will blow any stock V8 away. Plus it looks nice and rides like a new car.

Not really reliable.

I owned one of these for 2 years. I had to spend 6000 in maintaining the vehicle. Be careful of who you buy it from and get an ASE certified mechanic to check it out first.

My 96 WS6 Formula

My WS6 Formula is a very nice all around sports car. It is fun to drive and gets lots of attention. It handles very well and has a better ride than the Mustang Cobra and the Camaro SS Z28. I have only had he car back to the dealership 2 times for warranty work which were both recalls. it has been one of the best cars I have owned and I have owned about 30 cars over the years. I will buy another one day when I sell this one. It is a very nice car.
