Formula or Trans Am ???
Hey Peeps...
I have no idea whether my ride is a Firebird or a Trans Am. I dont have any decals besides the Trans Am logo on the tail-lights and the WS6 Emblem on the bumper. My title says its a Firebird Formula WS6 but it doesnt seem right.
Im including pics and hopefully somebody can help me settle this once and for all... Thx

if its the one in your avatar its a trans am, has trans am rear bumper in first pic. a trans am is technically a firebird formula trans am, formula just means it has a v8, trans am's just appearance upgrades, aka the bumpers side skirts hatch and has standard leather seats.

I can do that.
Your SPID sticker indicates "Y82", which would be the Trans Am package. It does not indicate "W66", which would be a Formula.
Furthermore, your build date is 04/02, making the car a 2002 (model year also confirmed by the "2" in the 10th digit position of the VIN) - a year in which the only WS6s were Trans Ams (Last WS6 Formula was built in 2000).
As the SPID sticker indicates "WS6" as well, what you have here is a 2002 WS6 Trans Am (so long as the VIN on that sticker matches the car's VIN).
The car also has the correct Trans Am front and rear bumpers, spoiler and side skirts.

Awesome... Yes, the VIN on the sticker does match the one on the car. I really appreciate the help.
Now off to find those door Emblems. -.-

Gross weight includes everything, i.e. the chassis, powertrain, fluids, passengers, cargo, etc.
The 36xx would be curb (dry) weight. Just the chassis and powertrain basically

With that wing, bumpers, and hood, there's no mistaking it for anything other than a T/A, so if it were my car I'd leave it as it is.
