Flame Red heaven - in my garage

Just got the Formula 350 home and in the garage -
These 2 look really good together - makes me want to keep them both......
But the GTA is still for sale.....

Beautiful 3rd Gens. But I'd keep the GTA vs. the Firebird.

The Formula 350 is way more rare then the GTA - plus its got a Vortech blower with almost 400 HP at the rear wheels

Re: Flame Red heaven - in my garage

Beautiful pair, looks good to compare the GTA with 245's on the rear I assume? and the Formula with 275's on the rear? Nice comparison.

Here you go - it's a bit ugly right now but that is about to change - going to clean it up and relocate that MSD box, re-route the wires, etc - Probably going to install some new headers as well
I'm actually thinking about removing the blower - it's not really my thing - But I will drive it a little and see how I like it and then decide

Keep 'em both. You obviously have the right parking places for them!

Re: Flame Red heaven - in my garage

I'd keep the supercharger on it and buy that EBL Flash P4 that ArticZ is selling a few threads down... focus on getting it running good in the current setup. Would be a fun setup!
