I really want one so bad i mean i love my car i really do its a 95 Firebird Formula and it runs 7'80's in the 1/8 which is pretty quick but i want a FD so bad and have for the last 2 years, i just really hope you owners of the 7 love every moment ur behind the wheel of these beautiful cars...

 

I do i am completely obsessed with my car even when its not running right.

 

meh, i'm tired of my fd, and its been working properly for years. after 8 years you get bored.

 

I guess you got killed by an FD?

 

Sell the Firebird and buy an FD. I got mine for 6,000 bucks.


...You might wanna keep that LT1 for later, though.

 

I've been an FD owner for almost 9 years and I still love my car.

 

No ive never raced an fd in my formula, ive only seen 3 around here in 2 years, i did however race one about 8 months ago when i had my 94 mustang GT, and it pulled about a buslength on me from 50 to 75, i just really really want one, im not gonna lie it would take one hell of an FD, to beat this formula, about 450bhp and 475btq with 4.10s, but id gladly trade it for a 350rwhp 7....

 

now that you mention it, 9 years here too, i forgot its 07 now.

I guess I just lost my motivation, too many beater fds and v8s around now.

 

Id give anything for goodfellas FD, like really anything, its just im only 17 well 18 in a month, but ive been wanting one for literaly 2 years...

 

that 350rwhp FD would annihilate your Fbird. and good luck in your search, just be prepared to give up all your money and 90% of your soul.

 

annihilate is a strong word, im guessing that id make about 50-55morerwhp and i prolly weigh about 4-5hundred more lbs, so it should be fairly close from a 15-120 roll....or 35-120...

 

and btw id be prepard to give up 100% of my soul...

 

^^ don't go to college.

Spend your time getting your education, and your money on beer, spring break(s), and getting laid.

The FD will be here 4 years from now when you graduate and can actually spend the money to maintain and mod correctly without having to sacrifice anything other than $$.

 

More and more i see beater FDs too, not well taken care of or no maintenance done correctly..it's just a sad site

 

Honestly I wish I was there. Though the FD is an impractical money pit , if I got rid of it I would end up getting another.

The GF can't wait till I get something else... ha ha ain't happening anytime soon though.

 

hahaha i agree, at that time rotary will be a thing of the past

 

I did, then i bought a house and loved it more/better investment for a 20yr old kid. Still love them, and will have another.

 

I dunno why everyone calls them money pits, I haven't had to spend money on anything besides upgrades I've wanted in the past four years.

<knock on wood>

 

Well, I'll tell you something, this is no longer a sports car . . . it's a quest! It's a quest for fun! I'm gonna have fun, and you're gonna have fun! We're all gonna have so much fu**ing fun we'll need plastic surgery to remove our Goddamn smiles! You'll be whistling Zip-a-dee-doo-da out of your a**holes!

 

I don't know how many miles you put on your car but I drive mine all of the time and have put 100k on it.

But me:
well rebuilt engine for one. Boost problems due to age, rebuilt turbos, fifth gear synchro, pillow ball bushings, OMP (<-- check the price on that baby) and all of the nick nacks that gets old and must be replaced. Most parts other than performance upgrades come at higher than the average price tag due to low production numbers of the FD (lack of non oem replacement parts, hence the price of an OEM OMP ). Typically a rotary mechanic charges more $$ than your average joe mechanic.

all that qualifies this car as a money pit don't ya think?

 

i was under the impression that they were buick turbo 6 cylinders, not v8's

 

One time costs don't count, once they're done you'll be trouble free for a long time. Hopefully I'll just have fluid changes for the next eight years.

 

i just bought my first FD after about 5 years of waiting. Im glad i did though because just like they said above now I can afford to drive it maintain it and modify it the way i want and the way it deserves. I not only just bought my FD I bought all the relibility modds and aftermarket supporting modds to put on it when it gets out of the body shop it went straight to. And I havent even got to drive it yet.

 

ha ha my bank account didn't think so

 

There is a "beater" about 3 miles from my house its like a primer black and its has all stock parts than a middle age lady drives, i really wanna stop and ask her about it and if its for sale as like a 3-4 year project... and maybe something to drive around if my Fbody goes down....but idk she cant want much for it but hey i might see...
