Yours is missing on VERY VERY important option...the WS6 option. It would be worth double what it is if it was a real WS6 car. Also you could get the WS4 option which would have made it a Firehawk...yes they made Formula Firhawks too.


Also does yours have the disc changer? It doesnt look like it has Traction Control either.

that sucks, i dont really feel the need to traction control though, i do know i need new spark plugs and im going to pay a shop to do them because number 5,6,7,8 looks like a bitch and if there like the old 6 banger i had they are a bitch

wooooowww I think that the bill on my hat just went flat with all the BRO STATUS floating around in here. I don't think im worthy...And is the new Bro thing to do put 37's on and go STREET race? KILLER BRO! After that Lets go flex out our 8" RIZE Lift! -IGHT BRO Where?- Over there on that sidewalk- SICK BRO! I think I will go back to the racedesert forums now, I kinda dig the whole offroad tires to go offroad thing. not the boggers to go street race in front of the local highschool hangout thing. Plus I hear some guy over there is killing it in the TT series with an almost stock 4.6 and x-member lift...pause...NOT

Ridge,

I got an '08 Titan at work that says your 4.6L is slow...



And, you have to pretty much pull the engine on an F-body to change the plugs. Good luck with that.

ive never herd of anyone pulling the engine to change the plugs, if i had a tall enough garage to buy a lift id just put it about 5ft in the air and change them under it like its suspose to be done.

LMAO....how many have you changed like that??? You can get to the front 4 from the top and the back for from the bottom. In fact the back 4 are the easiest to change. Just pull them up on a set of ramps and crawl under it and they are right there in your face. It takes about an hour to do at the most.

thats what i thought, i just have a problem since i have large hands, but my brother in law said he might help. but thats kind of like the story with the old boss mustangs they said you had to pull the motor to change the plugs also which was bs also, but alot of shops did charge for doing it

I was just exaggerating based on the position of the engine in the chassis on an F-body. Of course I know you don't have to pull the engine. Anyway...

Not trying to bash too hard but the interiors of those trans ams/firebirds/camaros/ect. have the ugliest interiors! dont even look like a sport car on the inside...
Mustangs look better

to take a current 5.4 in mine probley would not be too hard, ive never paired up against one but i imaging when i get my gear ratio alone id have a faster 0-60 then a 5.4, then with my 100/75 (havent decided) shot i would really not have to worry about one. but im saying with just a 4.10:1 gear ratio id pull.
