Default Formula WS6

Ok so after searching for a little bit I came up with nothing on manufacturing numbers for a 98 Formula WS6. I did find this

Formula WS6 Ram Air (1996-2000) and Trans Am WS6 Ram Air (1996-2002) (Ram Air, Freer flowing exhaust system, suspension upgrades, Increased cooling, 17 inch wheels with 275/40ZR/17 tires)

But it doesn’t say a damn thing about how many were made. Any body know

In 1998 2123 Formulas were made, 221 of those being Formula WS6's. I would love to see some pics of your Formy!

651 of the 2123 Formula's had a manual trans

Your car is rare, you may want to get with Pontiac Historic Services and pay them for some good info.

I'm still waiting for the "good info" I paid them for regarding my WS6. They didn't give me anything I didn't already know from reading threads on this site, and the window sticker they sent me had typos and wrong information on it.

Personally, I think it was a COMPLETE waste of money.

Here's the production numbers I have on the '98 model year.

http://lair.evyl.org/1998-Firebird_P...on_Numbers.htm

221 Formula WS6s made.. no color breakdown out there I know of, you'd have to contact the guy that has all the ASC data... I dunno what his handle is over here.

I talked to the guy with the ASC data for '98s. I dunno what his handle is here, but over on LS2.COM he goes by 01WS6_4_ME

I sent you the same information in email... that link is off of my personal website.

That purple T/A is awesome. I really like that. I didnt know they made that color. I would have sworn that was a regular T/A with a WS6 hood.

Here's a partial color breakdown that I've been able to extract from those spreadsheets (black & red cars are missing):

Where'd you get the information that there was 1 purple Formula WS6? The ASC guy told me they were all T/As.

Nope, it's the real deal.. 88U, MN6, Y82, and WS6 on the RPO codes.
