Default 93 Formula v. Trans Am

I just picked up a 93 Formula and I've been searching trying to find what the difference is between the Formula and the T/A. Other than the Formula having the Firebird nose, what is the difference?

Suspensions are the same between the 2 cars.
Trans Am differences are mainly in exterior appearence and more standard options. Although the later is more year dependant cause before `98 Trans Am's could be purchased without leather and T-tops.
Starting `98 the only differences between a Standard Formula and Trans Am were Leather Seats, T-tops and Keyless entry along with the regular exterior differences.

I owned a 93 back when they were new.

Back in 93 the difference was

The nose
The groud effects.

The wing WAS NOT different unless you got the Trans-am GT. There was a GT in 93 that gave you the wing, otherwise you had the "flat" wing.

Generally speaking the TAs were loaded, where as the Formys were a little more striped for the budget minded guy who wanted the LT1, but you could load it up the same if you wanted, well minus the ground effects, nose and GT wing.

93 without wing http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Cars-...3756.m14.l1318

93 with, and it would be a GT. If you had a 95 next to the 93 GT you would also notice a suttle difference in the "risers" on the wing. The GT wing tended to develop cracks or something like that. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Cars-...3756.m14.l1318
