That was also the GTO's only option. All of them were loaded 3800lbs+ fatasses.

My car is a stripper thats why I was wondering if the t56 weighs more than the 4l60e. I think the only thing I had changed when I had the car weighed was my exhaust which is only slighlty lighter than the stock parts.....but yet it weighed in more than Merv's car. How much fuel was in your car Merv???

Believe it or not, my car is close to a stripper Z28.
No power seat, bose stereo or leather interior.
Basic Hardtop A4 Z28 with only the standard Z28 options.
PW,PL, Cruise and Keyless Entry.

If you can't find a real B4C, or stripper model my car would be a good candidate.

The window sticker on my 1995 Formula reads as follows...

1995 Firebird Formula

5.7 Liter SFI Engine

Manual Transmission, 6-Speed

Paint, Bright Silver Met-Prim

Trim, Graphite Cloth


Standard Vehicle Price $19,344.00

Options Installed By Manufacturer

Federal Emissions .00

Air Conditioning Delete -895.00
Wheels, 16" Alum 5-Spoke .00

Total Vehicle & Options 18,449.00
Destination Charge 500.00


Total Vehicle Price* $18,949.00


1995 was the last year that AC-Delete was available. It was also the first year for silver.

The locks and windows are manual. It didn't even come with body side moldings or rear floor mats. I have never seen or heard of another car optioned the same way. It has been raced since new and shows 186 miles on the clock.

I'd like to know what options were available that most people might not have. I have a few cool options like "Transmission Perform," both driver and passenger power lumbar for thy (sp?) and back, adjustable part at the leg that can go up or down (don't know what this is called).

What exactly is the Transmission Perform..I have seen it in the Harness diagrams I have, but nothing is in the Car. It looks like an Electronic Shift Kit.

My car came fully loaded.
power windows
power locks
cruise control
power drivers seat
air conditioning
performance axle ratio
A4
CD player
It even came with graphite leather interior.

The only things left are the power windows and locks.
Mines a home made stripper.

My car came more fully loaded than yours, Rev.

Power locks, windows, mirrors. 6way adjustable-4way electric seats driver and passenger. Leather (graphite if it matters), cruise, CD player, 10speaker, rear defrost, A4, GU5, A/C, steering wheel radio controls, remote locks, and a few others I'm sure I can't think of (just woke up).

Like half a Gallon if I was lucky...it was close to the Gas station here on base, and I tried to get it as low as possible to get a low number..I put 15 Gal in it to fill it up after I weighed it.
It was 3320, weighed it bone stock 2 days after I got it.

It's a button on the shifter column. Just like you said, all it does is tighten up the shift line pressure. Kinda neat to have that at my finger tips. I can snap a pic if you want.

It's a 94 thing that "performance" shift button...

All Z28's were always in "performance" mode... probably the same with other formulas and transams.

a car that does'nt have that many options from the factory if any at all. like instead of windows bein let up wit a push of a button you would have to move them manualy in a stripper car. basically a car that doesnt have that much luxery<- spell check

Take a pic of your RPO sheet, I'd like to compare mine to it

93s didn't have a T-Top option I don't think. (pretty sure at least)
