Always wanting an F-body, I snagged this dark metallic blue gem in August 2001 with only 10,200 miles on it. She has racked up the miles since then, serving as a daily driver and an occasional bracket racer! I wanted a manual and WS6, but instead found a base Formula with an auto, but did find the Dark Blue Metallic color I liked!

Hey Derek, haven't seen you post as much on LS1 tech lately. I figured you're either busy racing or working hard at NPD. I actually have a runing car that can make it to the Silver Springs show this year.
BTW - this is Brian.
