Car started life as a 2000 trans am, leather , ttop six speed all original. Have always wanted a formula so I started searching for formula parts and found some locally. Lowered the trans am on sport lines , then headers , 241 heads, ls6 tune, car dynoed 344/345 . Then slapped some HRE's on her and just couldn't get into to the trans am look. So I just converted here's a few pictures. Next is a ls2 swap out of my gto! Can only made 440/420 in the gto . Bigger heads fast 102 and nome nitrous should do the trick!
Trans am when I bought it


Trans am with HRE


And now the formula



Thanks for looking

At least I know I am not the only one who prefers Formula lines and looks over a Trans Am. I always catch flack for saying I think a Formula looks better.

Did you fill the holes on the fenders/rocker panels from when you removed the side skirts?

I love the look of formys, but prefer the high-rise hatch.

What ever floats your boat....poor poor T/A. I can't look at a formula without thinking of a sunfire and that kinda makes me throw up in my mouth a little. There's a super clean formula for sale near here for $4k OBO I just can't bring myself to drive it and the cost to convert it would be too much.

But seriously, lay off the whack job photo edit. Those pictures are so violated you can barely tell there's a car in the damn things.

To each there own. The photos weren't edited by me! Yes I filled the holes. Hope you get some good pictures this weekend in the canyon!

Looks good, the wheels are awesome lookin!

side note, the gto looks like its jumpin up to get attention

whats the big deal about a formula? its basically a V6 body with an LS1. the other day someone asked me if my T/A was a formula, and i said no. and he said, "oh, it's just a trans am then..."
...(and it has the WS6 package)

Try owning a firehawk and explaining that to people… lol!

homerz28

yeah. i think the WS6 Package should have included all the stuf that makes the firehawk better than the WS6 package. What I really want is one of those third gen firehawks

yahoodeno

I always wondered why they made firehawks in the trans am models and formula ones, kinda confusing

What's the story on the GTO? Is there a reason your swapping the motor other then wanting an LS2 in the bird?

I like the formulas, but no wU will I turn mine into a formy style. Who doesn't luv the hi rise hatch and ram air hood look. Best dam Pontiac ever made IMO

A lifter started to fail so i pulled the engine, (pulled the engine to check the bearings, has some metal in the oil) put it back together got a wild hair and decided to build a big motor for the GTO.414 for the goat with good parts and some nitrous! Figured id sell the ls1 swap the ls2 and build a 414 for the goat! I would like 470rwhp out of the formula. Should make for a fun little street car! Want 650 on nitrous in the GTO. NO girlfriend has inspired all of this LOL

Totally agree! I've had some idiots tell me that it looks more stealth when people think it's a V6...

...yeah right...the sound of that 24x/24x cam lope isn't fooling anyone


But it's your car, do what you want.

technically, all trans ams are formulas... a formula is a v8 firebird, a trans am is a package added on.

OP did you keep the t/a rear bumper? i hate the look of the formulas

i like the formulas way better than the tas, a ws6 formula owns all birds imo

I'm one that likes the Formula look...

OP, the car looks nice with the HREs and Formula look, from what I can tell. Thunderstruck is definitely on to something there, maybe some more pictures of the new Formy without 5 other things to focus on, perhaps a bit closer? Just saying, I'd like to appreciate the Formula, not the construction equipment or the butt load of concrete you photographed... more pics?

i'm on the t/a side. don't care too much for the formula.

so did you end up getting rid of the hre's?

The rear bumper is definitely the worst part.

And to anyone who thinks a modded formula is a sleeper

I gotta ask. Why the heck would you buy a Trans Am if a Formula is what you've always wanted?
