man i miss my firebird...

**Blackout99** · 05-21-2011, 06:54 PM

i joined this site a long time ago when i had my 99 pontiac formula, black on black outside with tan leather inside. Now that its nice out (80 degrees and sunny today) i cant believe i got rid of my car. I had SLP lid and exhaust, pacesetter headers and y-pipe, 228/228 comp cam, and a performabuilt stage 2 tranny with a 3500 stall. My next plans were gears, intake manifold, and heads trying to get to 400 RWHP, it was dynoed at 360. I ended up trading it in for a truck that was just more practical to have and has earned me money the bird couldnt. But everyday i think about my firebird. I always wonder who has it now. But i will get another one and ill post on here again as soon as i get it!

Its better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all

Sound like it was a great car,good luck finding a new one

I love the 4th Gens,I have had 2 V6's as DD's and 2 V8's as fun cars.

Luckily I have never been without one since 1996

Hopefully, I will never know that feeling of regret...

OP: Whereabouts in PA? Any plans to attend the GM Nationals in Carlisle this year? If so, we will have an LS1.com tent on the fairgrounds.

I live in Lancaster, wasnt planning on going but it would be cool to meet some new people from here. When is it?

yea it took me a while to actually get rid of it, i kept wanting to keep it longer.

My friend, i suggest you save up for a brand new C6 or Z06 if you can afford it.

Yeah, I know how you feel. Even though I love my '02 WS6, I still miss my '89 T/A, had it for 11 years. I still wish I had put the 383 I had built for it, but all the shops around me wiggled out of installing it when the 305 TPI blew after 189,000 miles. Heres to all friends, here and gone!!!

<3 my '98 TA, but don't have the heart to get rid of my '87 TA, time and $ permitting, oh and room in the garage permitting, I'll get her back together, have a full forged 383 setup on an engine stand waiting for the day...been that way for 9 years now ; ;
