We checked a white ws6 last night , this is the vin 2G2FV22G622102698

I checked the vin on the net and it said : 2002 PONTIAC/FIREBIRD FORMULA/TRANS AM/5.7L V8 PFI OHV

So ? what do you think ?? how come it says formula while the car looks ws6 ? did he turn it to ws6 by changing the hood and spoiler !! i dont know


the car is clean and completely stock , how much a fair price for it ?

That's normal for it to say Formula. Think of it as the cars destined to be Trans Ams all start out as Formulas at the factory. The Trans Am was an upgrade/added option on the Formula model.

Its just the same for the camaros. If its an SS the vin will decode as a z28 because the ss cars start as a z28. Check the RPO code list and it will confirm ws6 or not.

Yeah the Vin numbers do not differentiate between Formula or Trans Am it merely identifies a V8 Firebird or a V6 Firebird.

BTW the correct RPO's to look for are
WS9 = Formula conversion or V8 equipped Firebird
W66 = Formula Merchandise Pkg
Y82 = Trans Am Merchandise Pkg
WS6 = Special Performance Pkg

WS9 + W66 = Formula
WS9 + Y82 = Trans Am

^^what he said. i found that out too when my insurance policy said formula/trans am.

Mine says firebird formula on the title but is a real ws6, look for rpo code ws9 and should be followed by code ws6. And another easy way to tell is look at factory tire size if it says 17's it's a ws6, if it says 16's it's not
