If you want rare, a Firehawk is really the only option you have. Even though WS6's are deemed a "specialty" car, i see many more of those rather than a base-model T/A..but i have yet to see a Firehawk in person

Firehawks are rare but I have seen tons of them.
My friend's next door neighbor had one. And most of the others I have seen at Pontiac shows, GM shows, and at the Woodward Cruise. I have seen plenty of others driving around Dallas as well. I have even seen a 3rd Gen Firehawk in person (only like 20 made). I have seen a Comp T/A in person as well.
by far though the Formula Firehawk tops the T/A Firehawk although that IROC Spoiler looks incredible.

Id get A SS, there are 10 time more T/A/WS6 then there are SS's, there just a little more rare, or atleast in my city. Plus you can do so much more exterior wise to a camaro. But then again T/A's are alot better built. Its really what you think looks best. To me there both the same.

I was torn between a Trans Am and a Camaro when I was looking for my LS1.
I had owned my LT1 Camaro for 6 years. I found a killer deal on a Camaro SS and bought it.
I can honestly say if I could go back and do it all over again I would NOT change a thing.
I wouldn't even consider a Trans Am anymore. I absolutely LOVE my SS!!

Formulas are more rare than firehawks IMO. I have seen only 1 other formula in my area in the 2 years of owning my formula. Im converting my rear bumper to a T/A bumper and adding the side skirts and gonna leave the front end as a formula front end. If it flows well then ill leave it at that, if not then ill have a formula that looks like a T/A which should be pretty rare, lol. I also have the T/A hatch

For starters theres less firebirds than camaros, they have way nicer interiors, and are better built to an extent.

Same here thats why i bought my formula. I always see firehawks or ws6's but no formulas. Everyone has camaros and mustangs so i wanted to be different. And since they are not comming out with a new one mine will still be new. I love the way it stands out,02 formula mnb m6 with high rise spoiler and ram air hood, cant be too many just like mine out there.

Girls call my car the batmobile... and we all know the coolest car in the world is the batmobile, lol. Thats enough for me. Plus i think the only other car that looks better than the WS6 is the GTS Viper, blue with white stripes or black with White stripes. The 2000 body style, whatever gen that was.
