As was said, the purple on the GTO is considerably darker than the '98 F-body color is... Sometimes in pictures it looks black. It's a lot darker.

Bright Purple Metallic

Yeah, I'd say that is a considerable difference. Thanks for posting that up.

I have a '98 Firebird Formula hardtop in Bright Purple Metallic, but it's not a T/A. It's got the LS1 (obviously) and the 6 speed manual tranny.

That is what I have seen with the production numbers. That does not split out the WS6's but, TA's as a whole
