![Question](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
I know I know,they dont exist right? They are two seperate cars..Yet my 1996 Trans Am has the Formula decal on the driver side headlight and it even says its a TA/Formula on the ECM and on my insurance crap,so its not just a Formy decal on there..It doesnt have the formula spoiler and bumper and it looked like a regular Trans Am without the ram air,until I added it..My car came with all the options..Rims,stereo,leather,power,GU5,G80..Only thing it didnt have was ram air..Was wondering if anyone else has ran into a case like this?

This topic has been covered a few times. It is my understanding that all V8 firebirds are formulas (formula is the option that gets you a V8) then you could add to that the trans am option which includes the bumpers, spoiler, side skirts, leather, t-tops, etc... Therefore a trans am would say "formula trans am" on the title.

my guess is it's a formula and someone put a t/a bumper on it?... do you have the raised spoiler or solid rear hatch?
@z-camaro Yea that would make the most sense,so I basically have just a TA lol.Thanks for the reply!

maybe the headlight fixture was r&r'ed? i've never heard of a T/A with a Formula sticker on the headlight
either way, from what my Firehawk RPO code:
WS9: Model Conversion Pontiac Firebird Formula
W66: Merchandised Pkg Pontiac Firebird Formula
post some pictures of your car

Well I read that all V8 Firebirds have the WS9 code and WS9 just means its V8 equipped.So I guess I just have a Trans Am and that headlight with the Formy decal must be a replacement off of a Formula.Thanks for the replies though guys!
