Seperation isn't always a good thing, I still judge by overall appearance too.

people tell me all the time that I have a nice Trans Am... I always just say "thanks" and have stopped correcting them. It's all in the eye of the beholder.

Formula - For the last time cause mine is going going gone after Sunday :( Formula is much cleaner looking - more classy - esp with the chrome factory rims... The front looks much better to me. The sides are more sleak. And because it doesn't have all the ground effects, its actually lighter....and hence FASTER. Lets not forget that.
I loved my 1998 6 speed Formula below..but it's all over Sunday night, its on ebay. I'm having a tough time letting it go....
The only think that is better about the TA is the rear spoiler, not for looks, but the Formula spoiler collects water - and its a pain in the you know what when you need to open it while it's raining...that's it... only 1 thing...
So long LS1 folks..

I vote formula with a ta hatch. i personally choose formula i like the cleaner body lines. but the ta hatch looks superior so mix match i did. car in sig

He wants to get a GP GXP FWD LS4 and then a G8, so I'm trying to make him somewhat knowledgeable. If he's going to have a nice car, he can at least know a thing or two 
NOT A TA or... FORMULA
I've been using Formula350 for about 3-1/2 years now, I might have to think about that for a plate! LTX4MULA would be nice, but it's 1 char too much
