Couple of pics and a vid

Here is a small vid and a couple of pics of the formula I got today, the quality for some reason gets bad after I transfer it.

looks and sounds badass man. i love the 91-92 formulas. that video gives the impression that it cant get out of its own way though.... were u at WOT? i know that car is fast, maybe its the angle of the camera or something. could you email me the full quality version?

How do I send you the better version? It was good on the camera and when I imported itto windows movie maker it did that.

I wasn't at wot after it shifted to 2nd as I was in a residential and didn't want to cause any trouble. It gets up and moves juuuust fine Many people say that the HSR doesn't do much on a stock motor but it woke mine up quite a bit. I still have the Flowmaster American thunder catbck on it right now so once I get the Magnaflow on in the next week or 2 it'll really sound awesome.

If you're asking me, no headers and I sold the t/a about a month ago.
Here is a better quality vid. I'm messing around with the settings.

I'm hoping to do heads and cam, or a supercharger in the next month or so but we'll see how that goes. I'm also buying an Audi S4 or an A4 so I'm not sure how much extra I'll have yet. I'm getting ready now to do the Z06 brake swap and it'll be getting a t56 hopefully this summer if I can findd a good deal.

what is the appeal of an Audi?


btw, those cars really look like hawks...as in the animal. i love that. i dont think most people give the 91-92 formula a chance when they first see it, but the more they see it, they realize the true awesomeness. i remeber i hated the 91-92 bird so much, even more so the formula, until i saw a 91 formula in person. it totally reversed my thinking. they look incredible in person with the right wheels. the stock formula wheels are yucky IMO, but slap on some Ronals, TTII's, or even the Z06's you have and it really improves the look of the car.

I totally agree, I need new bumpers for my 84, and I hated every single bumper for the firebird, then the 82-84 bumper frew on me, but now seeing your car, omg It might be the stance, Idk It just looks like a BEAST

Well I spun a bearing today I guess it gives me a reason to start my 355.
The wheels that I have aren't Z06's, they're Centerline Sundance Lazers.

Here's another little vid.

Yes it is the factory color "brilliant red metallic".
When I bought it, it had a really bad oil leak at the rear of the intake and it was driven like that for awhile by the previous owner. When I got it hom it was parked and I did the intake swap, now 2 days of being able to drive it and this happens.
