ws6 formula rare?
I have a white 2000 firebird formula ws6. It has a hard top and is an m6. Does anybody know the number of these cars made?
The reason i ask is because i have never seen any type of formula ws6 and just got curious.
Also, does the color, hardtop or transmission make it more rare?

I don't know about 2000 but here is the breakdown for 2002 models:
I do know there are fewer Firehawk Formulas than TA's

Formula WS6 cars are rare. I do believe that 2000 was the last year of the Formula WS6. In '99 there were 1602 total Formulas built. 174 of them were WS6s. I remember reading this in a book from Barnes and Noble the other day. "Firebird" was the title of the book. This is just to give you an idea.
Someone correct me If I am wrong.

When they do become worth something, I'll be glad I got the rare ones when they weren't worth anything.
BTW.. they only made 221 Formula WS6s in 1998, 14 of them with the 1LE package. So yes, they are pretty rare.

I wouldn't necessarily call them rare. I don't know the exact production numbers, but if they made an average of 200 a year from 98-00, thats 600 cars out there on the road. While it wouldn't necessarily be a common car to see, I wouldn't go so far as to call it rare. A 1997 LT4 Firehawk- that's a rare car.

A total of 30,690 Firebirds were built for worldwide distribution
WS6 RAM AIR COUPES 12,212 UNITS (16.9% OF PRODUCTION)
FIREHAWK COUPE WITH 6-SPEED MANUAL TRANS (color code)
10U 60 units
11U 54 units
13U 84 units
28U 127 units
41U 348 units
71U 60 units
81U 150 units
Exclusive of Hurst short shift, CD changer option and the various SLP options available.
I would agree with the above statement w/exception to Firehawks where only 1505 were produced in 2005 (total between T/A coupes/verts, and Forumula coupes/verts)
Yes, the market is soft for any LS1 regardless of model, but some of these will appreciate in the long-term, especially with SLP documentation and verification of authenticity
Just my 2 cents
