But I think black is faster.

WS6 formys are nice and rare, at least here i still havent seen one, but i still prefer a ws6 T/A. Everyone goes on about being a sleeper, who cares how fast it is if it doesnt look good, at least for a street car. Most of the time I'm just crusing around anyway who cares how fast it is then, none of these cars are slow. For example of the whole sleeper thing, I'd rather drive my 13 second ta over a 11 second civic sleeper anyday, but thats just me.

I've had a few of both. I prefer the more timeless/sleek lines of the Formula over the T/A. I really do not like ground effects or big wings, just like I prefer the LX 5.0 Mustangs over the 5.0 GT Mustangs. Simple, clean lines are more timeless.
I wouldn't call a Formula a "sleeper" unless you were still rolling around in 16" factory wheels. With the right wheels/tires, they definitely do not look anything close to being a sleeper.
I really dislike the Formulas with BIG T/A wings on the back and no WS6 hood to at least balance the front to rear. On my previous silver Formula, I bought it used with a T/A wing and I swapped it out for the correct Formula wing and it looked better. Besides that, the Formula wing is more aerodynamic than the T/A wing (lighter too).
Sleepers?

I like em all. Formula, Trans AM, WS6, Firehawk. They all look sweet IMO. The only reason I have a Formula is because that's what was on the dealerships lot the day I was there. Fate choose the Formula for me 
But I must admit I like the fact that I'm rare. I see TA's, SS's WS6's & Z28's all over the place. Any one of those are a dime a dozen around here. But Formulas and Firehawks are few and far between.
I would like to say that I like the sleeper affect but my car only passes for a sleeper when it's parked. If my engine is running there are not many who would believe I have a V6 under the hood
