From what I can tell, its similar. I'll see if I can get pics-its gorgeous. The current owner added the ram air hood though-makes it look much nicer but its not original.

That doesnt look too bad. Only problem with the white is when people didnt take car of the seats looked like that. Its a shame really as its very good looking when in good condition. Top needs a good cleaning as well, front arrowhead has GOT to go and the hood is a pretty crappy knock off WS6 hood as well.

If the price is right and the mechanicals are there then youll have one sweet ride.

Yea, its original owner I think probably took pretty good care of it, but the second owner hasn't. It was bought in California in 2007 with only 30,000 miles on it after 8 years. Its added almost another 30k in the past 2 yrs. Its just been "just a car" to him, I think. When I get it, I'm taking it to have it detailed, and if the seats still dont come clean, I'll have it re-upholstered later. I was planning on it anyhow. (Same color, just new) How can you tell the hood is a knock off?

You can tell on the hood just by looking at the ram air vents... they dont even fit right on that hood. On an OEM hood the black honeycomb pieces in the vents are recessed in the vents not flush with them

My 2000 T/A is in Chameleon Blue Green. Sounds like that means it is going to be one of a select few.

alright, im trying to find some build numbers for mine.

98 WS6 black m6
12 disc monsoon
WITHOUT traction control

all i could find is they made around 1800 red and black ws6 cars in 98, but no breakdown farther than that. wondering if beings its a m6 w/o tc and a 12 disc it might be kinda more on the rare side (1 of 100-200 cars)
thanks

Just a clarification...


In 1996, the T43 (uplevel) spoiler was an option...not mandatory. I think it cost me a few hundred bucks too...if I remember correctly.

Nobody knows. GM nor Pontiac has released a break down on the 2000 year production numbers.

If you mean "Blue-Green Chamelion" (BGC), which is what you car in your sig looks like, there were 124 '98 Formulas built in that color. In case it's "Bright Green Metallic" (BGM), there were 34 built.

No auto had 3.42s from the factory, and judging by how many MRM TAs I've seen on the road and at various Firebird shows and Pontiac shows, I will say there were not that many in our color at all. At this years Trans Am Nationals I saw one other MRM TA, and the place was swarming with 4th gens.

I was looking on the internet for productions numbers and is how i found this thread. I was wondering if someone might have some more specific numbers for a 94 Formula and a 96 Trans Am WS6. I have read that 2053 Formulas were M6s in 94 and that 2051 WS6s were made in 96. My 94 Formula was a dark green metallic (dont know correct name lol) hardtop with tan cloth interior and a 6spd. My 96 WS6 is a black ttop car with black leather and also has the 6spd.

Edit - Now that my internet is working correctly i now know that there was only 139 Black WS6's built in 96

I don't have anything to add on your '94 Formula, other than 4789 of the 9225 were HTs.

But on your '96 WS6, the 139 Black M6 WS6s built were Formulas, not T/As. I've not been able to obtain a color breakdown of the '96 WS6 T/As, so I don't have a number for you. There were 2051 '96 WS6 T/As built (both M6+A4, all colors).

Ah i misread lol. My bad. Must have been when my wife kicked me this morning lol. Well either way im sure neither car is to common. The WS6 is what i have now my Formula is no longer with us. On our 1 month anniversary of being married something came loose under the hood and my precious formula caught fire. It took 6 mins for the fire dept to get there and put the fire out. It burnt from the nose to the back seats so pretty much nothing was salvagable besides the drivetrain. But thats life i suppose. Thanks for the info and correction lol.

Default 97 Ram Air Convert numbers

I have a 1997 black automatic ram air convert with a taupe top and taupe leather interior. Does anyone have 97specific numbers(trans, colors) other than there were 463 convert ram airs built. That is all I can seem to find.
Thanks,
