Hey! New Member Here!
Hi Everyone! Been looking for a NJ Fbody group for a while. Went looking for a used car to replace my aging daily driver and came across this beautiful 98 Firebird Coupe. Just 28k miles and after a long test drive, I couldn't resist buying it.
My wife at first was skeptical, thinking I was going through a second childhood, but now she likes it and wants to drive it. My kids think its a really cool car, and want to go anywhere I go just to ride in it.
I live just about 30 minutes from Island Dragway, and hope to make as many meets as possible in the NJ area.
Regards,
Mark

Its the Auto. Back in 1995 I ordered a new Camaro w/5 speed. After a few years I got tired of the clutch in morning rush hour creeping traffic. So this time I went looking for an automatic.
I forgot just how much fun these F-bodies are to drive.

I'm in the other direction. Over in Blairstown. If the wind and weather is right, sometimes I can hear Island Dragway racing, but most of the time not.
My youngest is my son will be 6 in November. Been meaning to bring him over there. I think his sister (10) will get a kick out of it too.
