I personally have always found that those Ronal [Firehawk] wheels look better on Camaros and Trans Ams than on Formulas.Originally Posted by 88IROCvertZ

Still got a few cars that need seconds if anyone thinks they're worth nominations. I believe only 2 of the cars posted so far have officially qualified for voting.
The other 3 all look like really nice cars.

I would second this 89 Formula.. I like these stock looking Formulas with the stock wheels.. They were always lighter and quicker than IROCs and GTAs.. It was the LX “notch” Mustang version of a Thirdgen.. always worried lining up against one of these..Originally Posted by punzak9
