Default Trans Am Spoilers?

Does anyone know if the hi-rise spoiler was an option on the T/A's? I'm pretty sure it was standard, but recently i've been seeing some T/A's with the little Formula-style spoiler. Some were convertibles, and some had t-tops.

All convertibles had the Formula-style spoilers. The high-rise spoiler didn't come on every '93-'97 Trans Am, but were standard on all '98-'02 Trans Ams.

You might also be running across '93-'97 Trans Ams that have had front-end conversions to the '98-'02 nose. Also, I'm sure there are '98-'02 Trans Ams that have had the hatch swapped out in favor of the base Firebird/Formula hatch.

Yeah some earlier LT1 TA's had the low spoilers/base firebird rims/ and their mph cut off was like 109 or so... My buddy has one and it has 2.73gears, the speedo only goes up to like 115.

lol well i have a formula that tops out at 108... but ill be gettin that fixed sometime soon lol
its somethin about a special package that was made to be for passenger vehicles, so the tires weren't z rated from the factory, so they limited the speed to be safe for the stock tires or somethin crazy like that... speedo is 110 mph... 2.73 gears...
its a formula, but still
