When I bought it a week ago for 3k, had little gay Eagle 16" wheels on it. Pacesetter LT, ORY, Flowmaster with a cutout. Trickflow elbow, K&N intake. The tranny has a shift kit (A4) and was supposedly built last year. I just put the wheels on it (18" ZR1) and did the CETA mod and had to clean the exhaust tips real good. Next I plan to change to true duals. Add a stall probably 3600, 4.10 rear gear, and some good tires. I need to get a set of LS1 tail lights and a Ram Air hood asap and then paint the car (not sure on color). I don't really care for the color now but it's sort of growing on me. Then later on maybe a cam or most likely a healthy shot of nitrous.

Just saw the pictures in the facebook news feed and had to come on here to see if you posted up more pictures. lol. Nice car! I actually really love the color, it would look good if you get the ram air and repaint it that color.

I agree it's a great color. Those wheels really complete the car.

Thanks! I seem to get nothing but complements on the color so maybe by that time I will like it. Right now it seems kind of girly, lol. And the reason I got the car for 3,000 is because of hail damage. The hood is pretty bad, which you cannot really tell in those pics. So an oem Ram Air hood, which looks much better anyway, will take care of that. There's a few in the rear quarters which PDR should take care of.

I LOVE these wheels. It's a funny story. Only one company made these wheels for about a year or so. I bought them on ebay for my very first car back after I graduated HS. I later had them on my WS6 and then traded them off. I later regretted it, and the guy who I traded to had sold his car and no longer had them. About a year later I see a car that fits the description up for sale on craigslist so I emailed the guy for pics. Sure enough it was that car and I just traded him the gay 16" Eagles and $300 :D

very nice car, 1 DO NOT change the color, that is a fucking awsome color for lt1 cars, and also a very rare color, especially for the birds I think. 2 don't change over to the ls1 lights, keep the grids, unless they are separating and getting water in them. 3 that car is going to look amazing with a ws6 hood in that color especially with those wheels.

OMG QUASAR BLUE. You know this is a rare color right? In 94, only 344 Formulas were made in Quasar Blue--and I'm sure most of them are dead or repainted..

Well my LT1 tails are separating and look like crap.

And you guys know this is the blue-green color, not the blue. I'm pretty sure it's called Dark Aqua Metallic. Kinda hard to capture in the pics.

Nice find! Agree, the color is sweet and the 18 ZR1's make that color pop!

Damn! Now that I look at it closer, I see some greenish hues. I coulda sworn that ass end looked just like mine in pictures. Alone again it seems :(

But we're still pretty close, so it's cool.

I really like the color, and like the stock hood too. :drool:

why did you sell the black WS6 in the first place only to end up back in another LT1 which imo doesn't look as nice as your black T/A did? just my opinion but black LT1 WS6 > green formula hardtop.

even if there is some green in that color, I say you keepit.

I looks real good. If you want the ls1 tails get them too, they do look better than lt1 tails.

Real good job on that car, like you said, just needs a WS6 hood.

Thank you all for the complements.

I actually don't know what the color is called, it is unique and rare for sure. The RPO is 37U. I can't capture the true color in a photo no matter how many I take.

Not sure about the sticker. Im not even sure what the sticker says. But Im fairly certain it's never been sprayed....yet.

I hate the factory hood, and its completely covered in hail dents. A Ram Air hood is at the top of the list. But my wallet is not.

I sold my black WS6 to free up some cash. Kills me every time I think about it...gotta do what you gotta do. My old car was definitely the top of the line LT1 in my book.

I may get a new set of LT1 tails. I'm undecided on that yet. LT1 tails look much better at night. And LS1 tails look better during daytime. However LTs are cheaper and stay true to the 93-97.
