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

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.

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's asking about WS6, who cares if it's a TA clone

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!

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.
