it says Trans am...yeah sorry i looked at the car after trying to google it up and yeah i feel really dumb now...like i said before this i've been into compacts (auto-x). but yeah ws6 ramair (apparently that is included in the ws6) oh yeah and they included a larger fuel rail to sweeten the deal (they said another car had it extra, guy had no use for it) and that it is probably the first mod most people go for. i think that in the next month i'll probably install a shifter kit rather than swap for a 6-speed

Any V8 Firebird is something to be proud of. The TA is basically an appearance package in my opinion 
Front and rear bumpers are changed, and the spoiler/deck lid is as well. The WS6 gets the ram air in that year, which is good for 10-15HP over normal V8 setups. A WS6 Ram Air Formula will have the same performance, just different looks. You have a great car, but I like Formulas better Not as common hehe Kinda get overlooked if the Firebird doesn't have the bigger spoiler, untill all they see is your tail lights, then they know they goofed.

But I think it's breathing the cooler air that gives it the HP gain.

Bummer. BTW, I cringe every time someone calls my car a Firebird. The only place it is called that is on the owner's manual. It is a Formula, thank you very much.
Unless, of course, someone wants to race me. Then it quickly becomes a Firebird (V6, of course).
When I go to the autoparts, I have to tell them it is a TA, because no one has heard of a Formula.

well there are plenty here in the for sale setion you know. probably a better deal to be found either way. If i were you id look for a firehawk. Really rare as far as firebirds and trans ams go. I hope you get a trans am or hawk especialyy after a neon!? lol youll feel as if youd bought a mclaren!
