Formula - Basic V6 Firebird style body with the V8
Trans Am - V8, has more styling body features than a Formula, that's about it
Trans Am WS6 - Trans Am with upgraded wheels, Ram-air hood and such...
Firehawk - Special limited edition produced by SLP. Pretty much the most sought after type of Firebird.

If you are thinking about 98+ body styles, here are some random pics for illustration. Basically look at the nostrils on the WS6 and the Firehawk and see the difference.

Formula:


Trans Am WS6

A black Trans Am WS6 is the meanest looking son of a b*tch on the planet, enough said.
