Special edition.... I doubt it .... I think they were just LAZY!!!!

The missing Formula badgeing wasn't the only thing the left off. That also left the black plastic trim that runs around the rear hatch off!!!!! [I didn't even notice it untill I saw another it on another car about a year after I brought the car. And I bought the car NEW!!!!!!!!!] Makes one wonder what else they may have left off or out though????

Actually, I can't complain... I like it better without the door badges!!!!

Definitely debadge it. It looks sweet, and also you can pass for a V6. I've done it and races (wins) come so much easier.

Well I don't own the pontiac but I have a b4c camaro. Ex trooper car. It has the body color hardtop and no badging what so ever so barring the stock z28 dual exhaust and z rated tires you really have to know what your looking at to know its really a z28. I know for a fact more mustangs mess with me than my buddy with an ss even though they are essentially the same car.

I love my sleeper. You should see their faces when they realize its a v-8.
