Really nice Formula but doing it all over again would you have just kept the SS and built that car up instead of getting the Formula?

Possibly, though if I did it all over again I probably would have bought a V6 or a car with a blown engine. Back in 1999, the idea of swapping out a T56 for a T400 to me was anathema, and nobody was swapping out T56's for 4L60E's. As an aside, a friend of a friend currently owns my old SS, he is the third owner. I think Tom the Roofer might have switched to a T400 around then, but at that time the car was a daily driver for me.

Amazing how times have changed. The power you were getting out of that 422 would be week today.

I know if I could do it again, I would have bought a used car with miles to build up and saved TONS of money and nail biting from modifying this car from new.

Can't wait to see what she does in '07!

I got a really good deal on the dumdumdumdumdum so it was not too bad.

I'll be swapping some 325-50-15 DR's onto the car hopefully next week, and moving the car. I bought an in-car camera mount so I plan to take a lot of video of the car both inside and out, as well as a lot of new pictures.
