Default Is it a Trans Am or not?

I saw a Trans Am? today that included the following RPO codes on the driver's door:

WS6
WS9

I have read that a WS9 code is for a formula and that a TA has a WS4 code?

Can someone help me out?

A search for WS9 and Trans Am would show a lot of threads on the subject.

The short answer is that all Trans Ams start as Formulas as a base, then get the Trans Am conversion from there. IIRC, Y82 is the T/A code. WS6 is just a suspension package that is available on the Formula as well.

Any bets this reaches over a page of the same kinds of responses?




Edit - I guessed on the search parameters, but it was a good one. Searching for exactly that found this - https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...t=WS9+Trans+Am as the first result.
