My 1990 Pontiac Firebird Formula, mine since new. Lots of upgrades, modifications and extras added over the years. Maintained religiously whether it needed it or not. She was my daily driver for 12 years until I finally retired her to sunny days only driving. She's got many trophys and quite a few Best of Shows on the shelf as well.

Your Firebird is straight up badass. I've got a 1979 Firebird formula w/ factory posi & 4 wheel disk, love Firebirds.

Awesome car! I had an 86 trans am. That's where my user name is from. I also had a 88 IROC. One of these days I will get another one.

I almost got a red 91 right before I deployed to Somalia. It had those ugly gold wheels on it; but, wow, what a great looking ride.

That's out behind my Dad's shop near Wingate.


nice! i see your piping is low.

Pipes are tucked up about as close as you can get without contacting the body. I'm running 3" from the Y at the headers back to the muffler in the same routing as factory which is why you can see the pipes at the converter. Ground clearance is pretty good for a 2" drop though.
