Name: Ed Kozinski
This is my 1991 Firebird Formula in Bright Red (code 81) with the L98 350 Corvette motor Performance Enhancement Group of which only 1,196 were built. I bought it when it was 3 years old and street drove it for 3 more. During that time I did sub contractor work for Miller Pontiac/Cadillac, so getting SLP parts and other items were discounted quite a bit. I took it off the road when there was a severe winter and I could not get out of my own driveway. I bought it with 32,000 miles and now it just turned 60,000 miles. All the performance items are bolt-on, that means no internal work! Listed below is a detailed list of all the work done.

My Vanity Plate says SHOWCAR and does quite well at most JUDGED car shows.
It was photographed by the editor of Pontiac High-Performance Magazine this past November at ATCO and should have a featured article within the next 6 months. It was featured by GM High-Tech Performance Magazine about 12 years ago and has been in most of the articles for Pontiac Day @ Raceway Park, where I have taken the P4 Drag Racing Class 3 out of the last 6 years.
Thanks to all if you read all of this and I hope it gives you a better idea of the amount of work it takes to get a car to this point and all the small items that you may not notice!
