What do you think?

**Getzen_Guy** · 12-31-2007, 02:05 AM

So I finally found myself a replacement DD.
it's a 2002, with 85K miles Pewter Metallic
it's pretty nice, only option it's w/o is the disk changer, and leather.

I'm going to look at it tomorrow, for 6k. try to get the price down a bit.

I'm going to put a ram air hood on it (probably not a functional one tho)
and then get the 30th anniversary decals made in black for it...

what do you guys think and give me some suggestions for visual mods (no performance, I have a formula for that!!)

but does the pewter with black sound good? if anyone has pics post em up!
thanks-

**Getzen_Guy** · 12-31-2007, 02:10 AM

oh yeah, forgot to post a picture of it...

here's the formy, it's a total sleeper. I even got the badges that say "firebird" off my old nbm dd...
people think it's a v6 w/ exhaust!!

**TheSilverSurfer** · 12-31-2007, 02:54 AM

Is that a V8 or a 6 ?

**ATCharming** · 12-31-2007, 03:06 AM

the pewter one im assuming is a v6. i say dont spend a dime on it... arent u getting it to get better gas mielage and what not? if so, then ur gonnabe spendingmore money on a v6 car, when u could relaly just be driving ur formy

Get a used cobalt for a DD, great gas milleage, decent build quality. Cheap replacement parts.

**blackls1ta** · 12-31-2007, 05:17 AM

i wouldnt waste money on v6,i have a 92 grand prix for everday driver,and the ta for nice days and racing

**qwk93ta** · 12-31-2007, 08:34 AM

I agree get a V8 or in the near future you will be looking at an expensive swap.....

**Rojerlockless** · 12-31-2007, 11:26 AM

im in the same boat as him I want to get a black Firebird v6 with T-tops for my daily driver so i can keep the Collectors ed ws6 in the garage for a sunny day.

i dont care about the gas but i can get a firebird for like 4-6k cash and i have it sitting around somewhere.. maybe in the couch!

**Getzen_Guy** · 12-31-2007, 12:23 PM

well i know it's kinda dumb to put money into it, but i plan on having both cars for quite sometime.
my formula is pretty low mileage, and i want to keep it that way.
but i want an f-bod to drive on a daily basis, plus i commute to another town 5 days a week. and this one is pretty nice and not too high miles.

i have a beater, 99 f-150....
parents got it for me way back when.

i just love our cars, regardless of engine....
it's just what day of the week and how fast i wanna go.

you do make a good point AT.... maybe i'm just liking the idea of owning two birds that look bad ass....
idk i'll probably leave it how it is, I'm just wondering what i could do to it, to make it look better...

**Ryans99LS1** · 12-31-2007, 12:42 PM

I say go for it. It looks pretty nice to me. First thing i would do is swap the hatch with one from a T/A, i seriously hate those low wings that come on firebirds. I think the rear looks terrible with that little spoiler.

**Getzen_Guy** · 12-31-2007, 12:47 PM

idk, maybe....
it all depends, yeah the low profile hatch is pretty ugly.
it's a nice car though, way nicer than my old dd firebird.

**02cetransam** · 01-01-2008, 09:47 AM

nice ride!

**innerchi89** · 01-02-2008, 06:31 PM

taking pictures of my CAR! kidding i have the same bird its reliable and i drive it daily. I plan to get a LS1 later on! It has some sort of appearance package i think w68?

thats the same reaction i get when i drive my v6

**TempleU_WS6** · 01-02-2008, 06:41 PM

haha, yeah people gotta get it straight!

Firebird= V6
Formula= V8
T/A= V8

I think that looks like a great DD car. If your not worried about gas and are gonna drive it everyday then sounds like a good deal.

AMEN!

**Getzen_Guy** · 01-02-2008, 09:13 PM

yeah I have the formula outside under it's cover...
firebird, is sitting out...

trans am is out there somewhere calling my name, I'll find it someday when I can afford it!

innerchi89- I knew i'd seen one like this somewhere on here. i like the body kit on it, it's a change from the typical ta body kit.

Check out my other bird!

<------------V8 LS1, not a V6

**GULLETT17** · 01-04-2008, 06:56 AM

I like it! ive always liked the w68 birds. it would make a great dd. hey the 3800 isnt a bad motor either. . . its just a puss when ya compair it to the ls1. and i like the spoilers on the birds. . . thats whats cool about the regular bird vs tas, is the difference in their looks. . lil variety!
