I stored my Formula last spring after getting a low mile C6-GS and finally dug it out this past weekend for a family member to use. It started immediately, ran perfectly, and had only left a few drops of oil on the floor!

I wasn't sure what it would feel like after spending so much time driving/racing the vette but it was just like sleeping in my own bed after a long trip away from home. Despite being down 175 hp, the old LT1 feels brutal compared to the LS3, probably because the vette is an auto and the Formula an M6. The steering felt so heavy, as did the clutch and shifter. Weird, since I never had that impression when I drove it regularly. It felt like a proper muscle car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Anyway, it put a big shit-eating grin on my face so I figured I'd share! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif)
