RPO Codes
 
Im Trying to figure out of my trans is a clone or not.
the only rpo code i can find is a w55 and a ws9 code?

are there codes anywhere else othere then the door?

WS9 is on all T/As, but it's actually the RPO for the Formula package (all TAs start life as a Formula). But there is no WSS RPO. So you've either misread that S as a 6 or it's a clone w/ some weird non-existent RPO :P

W55 is the RPO code for the 10 speaker stereo in the T/A.

Fixed :P

But yea, that actually wasn't in the RPO bookmark I had! I did find another link that apparently lists all 4th Gen RPOs, so for anyone else interested:

(Those need to be added to a sticky here, or in the FAQ at the very least)

If those are the only W RPO codes listed, then sadly it's a clone :\ Sorry.

it would be listed in the long list of codes right? not anywhere else, but yea if its a clone then alot was put into this car because it has all teh ws6 features...hood,rims,badges

there would be a WS6 in the rpo right before WS9 on the door

so by the rpo code you have a clone

It would say Ws6 If its real Ws6

Or Y82 - Merchandised Package, Firebird, Trans Am
He's asking about WS6, who cares if it's a TA clone :jest:



And yes, it'd be listed on that sticker with the rest of the RPO codes. And my personal opinion, putting on a hood, some stickers and rims isn't all that much work or effort. Now making a Firehawk clone is a bit more involved since you'd need floor mats made up and a dash plaque fabricated. I think that may be illegal though, at least the latter, unless on the plaque it stated it was a clone :)

He didn't explain too well LOL.

Well here they just call them FTA on title. Don't matter if its Formula or Trans am. Firehawk wouldn't say it on the Title. Also some Insurance company calls them trans am im like its a formula LOL!

We had a good thread in the Firebird section on the whole "Trans Am" nomenclature. I'm sure it's pages deep now though haha It was pretty much just that though, people telling their stories about others who have said "wow that's a nice Trans Am" and either them correcting the person or just saying "Yep..." due to the 'tard not knowing the difference let alone what a Formula even is!

Y82 doesn't = clone. Just would mean it'd be a Trans Am WS6 instead of a Formula WS6. I don't know if the WS6s all came with the same bits like Firehawks did, so it could differ from car to car. Here's a basics run down

Pontiac reintroduced their "Ram Air" cold air induction system for the 5.7 V8 as option WS6 available on Formula and Trans Am coupes (not convertibles), built by SLP under contract to GM. Ordering the WS6 package added twin nostrils (air intakes) on the hood which boosted the engine rating to 305 bhp. All came with 17" wheels and 275/40-17 tires, plus the 1LE suspension, except with DeCarbon shocks using different valving from the stock shocks.
