Default 1999 Pontiac Firebird Question - Not Trans Am

Were any of these cars produced with a V8 engine or is it a V6 only?

Yea, Its a formula...a firebird with a v-8(not a T/A) is a formula.

Are the Firebird Formulas from 1998-2002 going to be more expensive than a regular Firebird if I were to look?

Thanks

The Formuals might have a lower blue book value though.

Formulas are definitely rarer than Trans Am's. They will be less expensive than Trans Ams but definitely more than a V6 Firebird. I have yet to see another Formula driving around. Ive seen them at F-body gatherings but thats it. My friend has an 89 Formula if that counts.

Theres 3 formulas here on base and many t/a's including mine. I don't like the molded spoiler they have, I get them confused with v6 firebirds to much.
