Default Trans Am Vs. Formula

I was wondering if there is any difference between the formula and the trans am other than the nose and the wing on the trans am. I've heard something some where about there being a better suspention on the trans am but I thought that might be related to the Firehawk, or the WS6 package not just the strait trans am. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

Thanks

theyre the same, On the WS6 its some upgraded parts like a better front sway bar, then on the hawk you get the SLP level on suspention package. Someone correct me if im wrong <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

If you have the WS6 package on either one of then then it is going to handle better than the normal one. But besides that both cars are the same except that the formula weighs less.

Comparing stock to stock with no options...
The Formula and the T/A have the same suspensions.
The only differences are:
* Nose
* Wing
* Rear bumper
* side gfx
* T/A comes stock with leather, its extra in the Formula
* T/A comes stock with T-tops, its extra in the Formula
* The T/A comes stock with chrome wheels, the Formula comes stock with painted wheels (chrome is extra)

The WS6 and Firehawk packages were not necissarily offered on both cars from 98-02. For instance the WS6 package was not available on the Formula from 01-02, but was available on the T/A.
