[pyro71985]

im in the market to buy a ws6 and i found one for a GREAT price....now i have been doing some reading about these cars and keep seeing all these diferent names for different models....can someone tell me what the one im trying to get may be

heres the vin 2g2fv22gxy2161097.....its a 2000 too btw

i pulled the car fax under model it says...firebird formula/trans am

so is this a firebird? a trans am? a formula? or a ws6? sorry for my lack of knowledge i have been a ford guy for years but recently saw the "light"

[Mr. Luos]

Are your fog lights close to the front plate or are they to the outside of the front bumper??


If the fog lights are in close....It is a Firebird Trans Am WS.6.
If they are on the outer part...It is a Firebird Formula WS.6.

You'll know if it's a ws6 by the hood.

The differences between the t/a and formula are:

different body styling (as already stated)

the formula can have a v6 where as the t/a will have just the v8.

if it's a ws6 they both have a better suspension/handling package and upgraded exhaust.

And i believe the t/a weighs a little bit more than the formula. Like around 50 lbs. nothing huge.

I didn't know there was a Formula with a sixer.

I didn't know there was a Formula with a sixer.

i didn't think so either but according to msn autos there where. I think it's more of a typo. I was on there researching the differences when I bought mine and under engine specs. for the formula trim it listed the v6 and v8.

They probably just don't know what they're talking about becuase i think that's the whole point of the formula is to be an 8.
