Still can't figure out if this is a trans am or formula... or if there's a difference

But here she is:

Cumbias

Trans am my friend. The spoiler, fog-lights, and name on the doors give it away.

The difference is whether your car has WS9 & Y82 for Trans Am on the RPO Codes or WS9 & W66 for Formula. Either way nice car!

Nice Car man.
Love the fact that it's a Hardtop 6spd Trans Am because you don't see those often.

Thanks for the compliments guys!


The only reasons I have/had doubts is because it's been in a wreck and the title says, "Firebird Form". But again, I just got into 4th gens and don't know the tricks to tell.

TRANSAM/FORMULA

iTrader: (2)

On both of my titles they say formula/trans am. Even on the insurance it says that. Not sure why? But the difference is the trans am has ground effects and a different front and rear bumper. The formula is for someone who likes the look of the v6 models but are not a fan of the v6. Other than appearance they are the same car. Very nice trans am i perfer trans am over formulas but a firehawk over both.

Oh ok.
The only other doubt is that someone said 96 Trans Ams weren't available in hardtop. Any truth to that?

LS1W66

Only LS1 `98 -up cars had T-tops standard.
I know a guy with a hardtop `96 WS6 Trans Am.

And as for the titles and insurance papers saying Formula/Trans Am.
This is because their information is based off the Vin number and the Vin's are not model specific The Vin verifies that the car is a V8 Firebird only.
The RPO codes are the only true way to identify the model.
W66= Formula
Y82= Trans Am
Y83= Trans Am GT (1994 only)
Y84= Trans Am Convertible

Thanks for the info, man. I was up last night searching for some info and didn't get that far. According to the RPO it is a t/a. Anyway to tell if it's a true ram-air car (I was told it was by the previous owner)?

LS1W66

It it was a WS6 it would obviosly have the WS6 RPO.
Even though we know it's not The car still looks Bad *** and that's what matters right.

If you look closely to the driver's side, behind the headlight, you will see it sticks up a little.
Thanks though! Pics of yours?
