I'm selling my Formula now. Here's the description:
1988 Fiero Formula, factory red, power windows, sunroof with cloth interior for sale. This car is collector material with a completely stock setup and original paint (as far as I'm aware) and has less than 70,000 kilometers on it. The car is in very good condition with a very strong running motor and transmission. The interior is in mint condition without the usual problems with the seats (wearing out of edges and rips) and windows (rail track marks) and the exterior has a few nicks that could use a bit of cleaning up. For a 23 year old car (collector at 25), this car is in great condition and runs very fast. $4900.     |

A bit lower, need to sell: $3800. It's a steal for the shape it's in and the lack of mileage!

I'm glad to see the car go to a good home and I look forward to see the improvements that will finally be made to bring the car up to it's full potential.
Should perform great at autox, with such low k's the engine is still quite strong and out runs my GT which also has low mileage, but still double the formula at 130. Good luck guys! Thanks again for coming all this way. |

Yeah, the duke was great for learning at autox, it was really obvious when you made a mistake since it takes so long for it to regain it's speed.
I'm ready for something more powerful though, and this 88 with it's improved suspension and low km seemed like a great choice. Particularly once you consider that in some of the events, the more you modify your car, the tougher the class they put you in. So for now at least the plan is to keep the car relatively stock, just replace as much worn out stuff as I can, etc.
Yeah, no problem. I really enjoyed the drive, actually, especially the drive home.
Hopefully. |

Yeah, that has crossed my mind already... I wanna do at least a season and possibly the next Slush Series in E Stock though which means no cutting springs, no changes to the rear sway bar, and no poly bushings. I could change my mind on this though, and I'll probably be in the STR class anyway until I can get some proper tires to mount on the 15" rims. We'll see. |

I won't tell if you don't.
Just for the track, why couldn't you use the wheels and tires you currently have on the duke for now?

I am going to for now, but the rules are slightly silly and the fact that they're not the same size as the 88 rims puts me into the wrong class. I don't know if I can restrain myself enough to keep the car completely stock so I'll probably end up in STR eventually anyway. Like I said, we'll see. Hopefully I'll know for sure what I want to do with it after I drive it at the next PCA event. |

Unless a person really thinks they can win a particular "class" (and receives the million dollar bonus that goes with the distinction), what real difference does it make to a weekend warrior what class they're in? Speaking for myself, all I'm concerned with is going around the course as fast as I can, how ever I can. I couldn't care less what class I was in. I know, I have an attitude problem.

It's just the competitiveness in me. I can't simply ignore the indexed times if I know they exist, and I'm going to do everything I can to make sure it's as good as it can be. |

I can't ignore the raw times which certainly exist, and the competitiveness in me wants to do everything I can (modifications, whatever) to get around the track as quickly as possible. I feel the same way about "bracket" racing at the drag strip. I can't stand the idea of drivers trying to pace themselves so as to get as close as possible to some predetermined quarter mile time. The heck with that nonsense. Pedal to the metal all the way!

Well, my goal is simply to get the best raw time I can without screwing up my indexed time in the process. |
