Look at the RPO codes and go from there

FAQ - Its not just there to fill in space at the top of the page. Spend some time on there, it will benefit you and it will answer your first thousand questions about your car.

Double check your VIN and then go here: http://www.camarosource.ca/php/camar...(VIN)_Decoding

Pics would help by eleventy-billion.

The VIN will tell you nothing other than coupe or convertible and V6 or V8.

By your description it sounds like it's a Formula with Trans Am badges on the doors or hell might have doors off a Trans Am from an accident. Second, sounds like it was built by the previous owner with Nitrious.... great....

Not to be a dick but did this car just show up in your yard? Did you look it over at all before buying it or ask the previous owner any questions? A No2 tank isn't exactly something I'd miss when looking at a car before buying it.

Hopefully this wasn't a Firehawk that someone butchered.

How do you buy a formula not knowing what it is, or what to look for? And I agree, I have actually starting skipping posts as soon as I realize the poster is butchering the english language. It's no wonder our economy is in the dumps.

Ok..

Im going to attempt A Translation/Communication/Hypothesis..


Has A 99 formula firebird w/ram air 6speed

He needs some help..

This car is weird..

It has Trans Am on the doors...

It has ram air but the hood is no where near the same as His ws6




There are hand written numbers on the pass side intake..(WTF?? Junk yard intake possibly?)


A boat load of slp parts = The previous owner wasn't scared to change.

This 99 will schoolz His 01 ws6 hands down = He knows what A Trans Am with the Ws6 package looks like. Something is different about his new car making him think he has a Formula. The hood is ram air but different.. so

Hypothes = You have a Trans Am with A V6 hatch and Firehawk hood.

Any help would be great.

My vin number is 2G2FV22G7X2224008.



"like i said any helpwould great . thank you"


Your very welcome!
