Too many people just guessing on these sites.

The reason you have the WS9 option code is because your car is optioned as a Firebird Formula Trans Am just like ALL of the Trans Ams were. The Formula package is a prerequisite for the Trans Am option on our cars. You wont find a Trans Am without the WS9 option code.

What do you mean by "these sites?"

Consider the particular section this was posted in...

Chill out, don't get all defensive. I know it was posted in the new LS1 owners section, which explains the question. It's a perfectly valid question. What I meant was too many people on the bigger forums in general just guess at an answer to questions like this, or they pass along information they've heard without any actual facts.

Defensive...that's quaint. Maybe you shouldn't be so offensive.

I guess it all depends on how the post is read, doesn't it? Did you come into this thread to start trouble? You haven't really added anything related to the topic.
