1996 Pontiac WS6 Formula

We've decided to put the WS6 up for sale.

We are the original owners to the car, ordered it from Anderson Pontiac in Baltimore, MD. Just under 70K on car, 21K on crate engine that warranty replaced because the oil pump pickup fell off, 36K on trans that also was replaced under warranty for popping out of gear. It has quite a few mods done over the years. I have all paperwork from when the car was shipped to the dealer to now. I did sell the car in '01 to a co-worker with 58K miles. He had the car until I bought it back in '09 with 60K miles. So you can see it basically sat in his garage the entire time he owned it. I can tell you anything you want to know about the car. Here's the mod list for those interested, car ran a best of 12.44@111 on a 1.75 back in 2001 right before I sold it. That was the last time it was at the track. Car runs great, took it for a 700 mile round trip and it got 25mpg. Everything works. Only 2 problems right now, the windows going up and down real slow. I did buy 2 brand new AC Delco window motors that will go with the car, just haven't had time to put those in. The gears whine in the rear, more annoying than anything else but that's what the radio is for I'm sure I'm leaving something out but that's pretty much it.

Here's a mod list for the car:
Engine:
Reprogrammed '95 computer
LT4 HOT cam and extreme duty timing chain
Crane Gold 1.6 roller rockers
IRS valve springs
Crane Hardened push rods
Felpro .039 head gaskets
TPIS GM 52mm throttle body
SLP air foil
Meziere Electric Water Pump
March underdrive pulley

Trans:
Hurst Billet Shifter
RPS Turbo Clutch
ACPT Carbon Fibre Drive Shaft
Poly Trans Mount


Suspension/Rear:
13" front Corvette brakes
Kenny Brown Double Diamond Sub-frame Connectors
Hotchkis PanHard rod
LG Motorsports G-Load Brace and Driveshaft Loop
BMR Shock Tower Brace
Superior 4.10 gears
Nitto Drag Radials in rear, General's in front(7K miles)

Exhaust:
Coated SLP dual cat headers
Stock dual cat y-pipe
Borla intermediate and over the axle y-pipe going into SLP 2 on the left muffler and tailpipes. Passenger side is SLP intermediate going into an SLP splitter. Looks like the SLP Dual/Dual but is completely adjustable like the Borla

Misc.:
LT4 knock module
Accel 300+ ignition
Harland shift light(not working)
Haynes Transmission Cooler(used for power steering cooler)
Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator
Fernco coupling on intake
MBA Throttle Body cover

Asking $8000. I can email more pics if anybody is interested. Thanks

Rain finally stopped so I pulled it out of the garage and snapped off a few pics.

That's a nice ride you have there. Always thought the WS6 Formula was the best looking of all the F-Body's. That's why we ordered it in the first place
