The only differences in the formula and the TA is the body style. The formula looks like a v6 firebird but has an ls1. The TA looks like a ws6 without the hood,wheels,embelms,etc. As far as performance theyre about equal. The formula is eligidly a little lighter. But not really enough to notice. People make a bigger deal about it than it is. There are NO changes on the engine from 98-02. The ws6 changed intakes in 2001 to the ls6 where 2000 models and older have the base ls1 intake. Theyre all fairly close. I just say buy the one you think looks the best! Good Luck

yup, swang pretty much said the jest of it. the formula is a firebird body style with an LS1 in it, and the WS6, basically the biggest differences are the LS6 intake and the ram air. and hood.

some 01 and all 02 also have the Z06 upgraded hydrolics and clutch, also on the WS6(not sure about the SS) the air box is ramped up higher and has a bigger air inlet under the lid.
