Do you own a Formula???

02NBMFormula · 04-12-2005, 03:32 PM

Im kinda curious about how many people own one, they seem less common than Trans am's.

HPP · 04-12-2005, 06:05 PM

I think the early 2nd Gen Formulas look better than the Trans Ams (around '70-ish, with the trapazoidal grills, 2 headlights). The roof line looks flatter on those early cars (the late 2nd Gens have an extreme looking 2 angle roof line), and the forward scoops on that front end look better than the shaker IMO.

But, from late 2nd Gen on, T/A all the way baby.

me too

another here, I liked the feature of the Formula compared to the T/A. A little lighter, and most dumb ricers (as compared to smart ricers?)

that see my single exhaust pipe think it's a 6-cylinder.

I prefer the nose of the Formula to the T/A and lots of my T/A friends agree. Don't know why someone would say it looks like shit.

And what's this about single exhaust? Mine had dual from the factory.

02NBMFormula · 04-13-2005, 03:35 PM

any one know how to find out how many nbm formulas were made in 2002 with automatic, traction control and tan cloth interior??? just kinda wondering

yak · 04-13-2005, 07:39 PM

musclehead · 04-13-2005, 08:33 PM

All f-bodies have single exhaust from the factory from the y-pipe back to a transverse muffler that has dual outlets. I replaced mine with a single inlet/outlet 3" flowmaster and a single left-hand tailpipe (similar to a V6).

ANd I meant dual outlets

RevGTO · 04-13-2005, 10:58 PM

One more ... and I prefer the Formula rear spoiler ... ready to be flamed now.

WS-Sick · 04-13-2005, 11:07 PM

I like the formula nose as well, sometimes I like it more than the T/A sometimes I don't...kinda wierd. I definitely prefer the T/A rear though. I hardly ever see formulas around and when I do it's a special treat.

99FormulaM6 · 04-14-2005, 08:15 AM

ive only seen a handful of formy's around here. mine included. and i like being in the minority. there was only 1602 formys made in 99 alone. theres losts of ws6 guys who have their number posted that are higher than that. i feel like i should post my number.

1 of 1602 baby

i guess i could try and break it down even further...or maybe ACW is going to chime in with the breakdowns for me

Sean@Speedsouth · 04-14-2005, 11:13 AM

2001 Formy here!!

dgformula2k · 04-14-2005, 11:40 AM

The Formula is the rarest of the V8 F-body models. I like that exclusivity. Plus, I just couldn't see paying an extra $4K for a different nose and larger rear spoiler.
