My new Bird...

[CALL911]

Well, I recently sold my 94 Formula, and picked up this newer 98 Formula in its place. The car is #23 out of only 221 LS1 Formula WS6's made. It is stock, for now (I already have parts on their way in the mail :naughty: ) What does everyone think?

Me thinks, ceta, ceta wheels, hose mod and !sidemoldings.

[CALL911]

The body will remain stock, other than lowering it, and changing the wheels to my Konig Monsoons that were on my 94. I haven't really seen any body mods to the Firebirds other than upgrading to a Firehawk or WS6 hood (which I already have) that I like.

wat the hell is a hose mod? formula's dont have a panel to paint like a TA to make the ceta panel, and why get ceta wheels when u could spend the same money and get sumthin better? there just regular rims painted black....


car looks sweet, i remember reading an article in motortrend or sumthin about the ls1 formula ws6's

[CALL911]

Thanks. I like the Formula's because they are rare (+ now having a WS6 Formula, its really rare), and they are more of a sleeper car :twisted:

Ok ceta, around the liscence plate. 2 hose mod drops the rear about 1 inch, ceta wheels are his wheels, just black, so for 10 bucks in spray paint.. O yeah also some black stripes on the side of the ram air hood would be great too.

[CALL911]

Actually, it has stripes already, and I already have lowering springs ready to go in, and am changing wheels (as I originally posted)

it cant get much better besides ading t/a stuff then :)

why the hell would you even think about adding ta parts to an already rare car.... as for the car it looks sweet man... lowered wheels and go fast mods are all id do like you said not a fan of any body mods on firebirds except maybe a ww front air dam

you can save parts :rofl: and if you care about rare, go get a mopar or something and give some one else a 4th gen they will mod and drive hard

[1_Hot_SOM_WS6]

Looks good :) Good luck with it!!

[Fast92RS]

:cool: :cool:

[CALL911]

Thanks for the compliments. I actually prefer the T/A rear hatch and spoiler, but since it is rare, I will leave it be, and show off the rare factory body it has.

I can't leave it completly stock though. Thats where the go fast parts come in! :)

[WayFast84]

once again, the car is not rare

[bobb1589]

once again, the car is not rare

lmao :rofl: its nice i just dont like the color

[qwikz28]

once again, the car is not rare

actually yes they are and WS6 formys in good condition that are close to stock are going for good money right now. i remember seeing one recently on ls1tech going for almost 20k. thats pretty good for a 10 year old car.

ws6 formulas are a personal favorite. i would love to have one in white. beautiful car man i love it.

[Rich189]

once again read my whole post before making a retarted comment....he is going to drive it and mod it obviously and i said nothing about not driving it...and who should he give it to if hes not ....you?? the car would be totaled before your were even old enough to drive it


and id say 224 made over 4 years is pretty damn rare

[maroman88]

ok its a FORMULA, it has a different rear bumper then a TA, hence the TA in CETA, cant make one when there isnt one, and who in their right mind would paint nice chrome wheels over with a $10 can of spray paint?

Yet another "intelligent" post by Mr. 4th Gen himself :rofl: .... WS6 Formulas are in fact RARE... before I bought my Z I was looking for Formula WS6's and Firehawks and could not find one anywhere ... i knew that they made them, all that kept coming up was Formulas ... I personally love the front ends on the Formula over the T/A... so maybe u should do some research before you make another lame post.

And looks great CALL911, I personally would get chrome hood inserts and !sidemolding and lower the beast.

i believe the formula ws6 was only made in 98, but i can be wrong. actually i'm usually wrong. actually i don't know where i heard that. actually i don't know if it just made that up in my head. so this post has no purpose other then speculation. i hate me

[maroman88]

nope, the article i read back in the day was about a 99 ws6 formy

Maybe ur thinking of the mystic teal color... which was only on 98 + 99's ...

[Rich189]

there were a few colors that were only 98 maybe thats what hes thinking of.. bright purple metallic bright gold metallic bright green metallic i think... and there was also a blue color

[CALL911]

I believe they made them 98-02, and during that time period a total of 221 were made. If you don't consider 221 from tens of thousands rare, then you and I just have different opinions of rare.

Thanks again for the compliments. I consider myself extremly lucky finding this Bird (and for the price I got it for). Once it warms up a bit more, I'll probably be looking to cruise around a bit more in it probably out at Toms River.

i really like how those bright purple metallics looked on WS6 TAs :drool:

looks good even better in the flesh

Thanks man. You are probably the first to see it.

I just got my Zaino in today, so assuming the wheather guy is wrong as usual and it doesn't rain as he says it will, I will be cleaning it up and taking more photo's soon.

CALL911 Very nice rare Bird. 4th gen WS6 Formies were made from 96-00. (Obviously LT1 in 96 and 97, and LS1 from 98-00) They stopped offering the WS6 package on the Formy due to low sales.

[bandit88]

pretty car

Sweet! I wasn't aware they only made 2 years of the LS1 Formula WS6's.:cheers:

[Tru2Chevy]

Umm.....98+99+00 = 3 years, no? :nod:

:lol: Yes. Sorry for the confusion. They built them in 98, 99, and 00.

[CALL911]

Naw, my math skills were at fault.

[jola]

Nice Formula! And a side note, thanks for not putting T/A anything on it.

I will keep it body wise as it came from the factory since it is rare. However, didn't GM make some Formula's with a T/A spoiler?

Actually it was the 94 base T/A and 95 T/A's that got the Firebird/ Formula spoilers. (The base 94 T/A got the low spoiler and in 95 it was optional)

The only Formulas to get T/A spoilers were the 2nd gens (optional). All 3rd gen Formulas shared the T/A spoiler as standard.

The only 4th gen Formulas to get the large T/A wing from the factory/ SLP were a handful of 97 Hawks.

However given the time since these cars were built it is not uncommon to see a T/A hatch swapped onto a Formy. (And personally I think it looks cool on some Formies too)

[CALL911]

Good info. I have seen them before as well, but I just figured they came from the factory like that.

LMAO thats pretty much exactly what i was thinking...

nice A$$ WS6 Formy you got on ur hands there man! id def say that the only mods id do would be fast performance, and lower it an inch or two. keep the outside stock, besides thats like taking a firehawk and spray painting a paint job on it, it makes no freaking sense. take care of her. later

[Rich189]

i dont beleive so but ive seen it a few times as well.... plus it shouldnt be that hard of a swap just try to find a silver hatch that way if u ever want u can always switch it back

[CALL911]

Swapping the hatch would be easy. Finding a big enough safe place to store the old hatch would be the hard thing.

[lastcall190]

Nice formy... I remember seeing that car for sale long ago, can't believe it never sold! I need a WS6 hood so bad hahaha

-J

[SteveR]

Wow, that car is **** hot man, congrats! The WS-6 hood and the formy nose looks really nice :drool:

[CALL911]

Thanks!
