just picked up a 99 NBM formula with a 6 speed and I love it!! I was looking for a TA but I came across a good deal on the formula. I like the fact that you don't see many and although it looks like a V6 I still think its sleek where as the TA has more of an aggresive look.

I had a 99 T/A. I traded it in to get my formula.
Before I got my T/A I didn't like the rear wing on them, but after having it, I learned to like it.
What I really hated about my T/A was the leather seats, and that is why I got a formula over a T/A the second time around.
Oh, then I didn't pay the extra for the crappy factory hurst shifter like my T/A had. My first new mod for the formula was the Pro 5.0.
From what I've gathered there were only like 63 '01 formula's without the Hurst shifter. I don't know the color break down.

I searched on eBay and in my local Auto Trader, but there was too big of a price jump between a regular firebird and the formula, mostly I guess due to the V8. In any case, there was a very low selection of "formulas" versus TA and firebird. I wonder if Pontiac just made less of these cars.
