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.

My Baby Black Firebird

I owned a 1984 white Firebird previously, and swore I would own another one. Well my wish came true last April when driving past the Used Car place on my way to work. I really wasn't getting too excited about this car, because a previous excitement about a green Firebird the year before fell through. Since I wasn't too excited, I felt that fates aligned and I was destined to own this car. I absolutely love my car!!! I have had it a year now, and nothing has gone wrong with it. My previous Firebird went kaput around 60,000 miles, but this one is going on 70,000 now and the only thing I have fixed have been the brakes and oil changes.

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.

I have a 96 formula, very fun and great to drive. Just not a very comfortable car, however having had many camaro and other basic two seaters. This car isn't built for that. I have an lt1 six speak, with cold air intake, corvette suspension and rear end. The car has has stainless 3in headers with Borla exhaust.
