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!
