Hello guys this is my first post and I just thought I would say hi.. I'm in the process of restoring a 96 firebirb formula ws6 with ram air 6 speed manual.. So the guy who I bought the car from said it was ls1 but its really a lt1.. He also told me it was a rare car so I decided to find out how rare and after a few hours of digging and a few phone calls here is what I found out about my car... In 96 according to the guy at gm I chatted with there was 32,799 firebirds made...and out of those 359 was formulas with ram air and 6 speed manual transmission.. Out of those 51 was artic white color.. Which is what mine is..i also called slp and a guy named Dave there said there was 2150 ws6 cars that year and mine was number 1724..and I think he said it was shipped back to gm on 5-10-1996. I looked for a few years trying to find the right firebird to get.. I always wanted a v8 manual transmission bird and just dreamed of a ws6 one.. So finally I got the car I always wanted and now I just need to get it back into fighting shape.. Car does need work.. But I've drove it a little bit.. And I love it... I will post pictures of it later and let you know how the progress goes on it..
