There version of the formula? That would be cool, a tpi 5/speed 345 or 342 geared sports coupe, with some 16 inch rubber.
I think thats where I will take my sports coupe. All I need now is a tpi and 5 speed.

I believe initially the 1987 LT was to take this position, but it only lasted one year. Its likely Chevy did not want to eat into their "Z28/IROC" sales and therefore after initally wanting to have a car comparable to the Formula droped the Idea and went another route. From what I have read in pre-release promotional lit (From Pontiac) the LT was to be a Mustang Fighter tooth and nail. But marketing changed their minds after early lit releases and it faded away.

Personally I really like the 16" or 17" rims on a non gfx 3rd gen. It really adds a "I mean Business" personality to the looks of the car for me.
The 14" and 15" never did anything for me. And anything larger than 18" looks "pimpin".
