Formula vs. Trans am

**vin98SS** · 12-01-2006, 06:08 AM

My girlfriend just got a 2001 Firebird Formula, I was just wondering what is the difference between the formula and a trans am with and without the ws-6 package? Thank you

nothing performance wise. the formulas is a little lighter.

WS6 was no longer an option on Formulas after '00 AFAIK. Prior to that, the equipment content of the WS6 option was exactly the same whether it was on a Formula or T/A. HOWEVER, the 1LE option (which required WS6 and M6 too) was only available on the Formula, NOT the T/A. So a 1LE-WS6 Formula would have more "extra equipment" than a WS6 T/A (although I believe 1LE also deleted some convienience options like power windows, leather and alarm). So it's a give-and-take sort of thing w/ 1LE.

The Trans Am is Flashy Muscle/ Standard T-Tops, Leather extra body kit.
The Formula is the true no frills Musclecar/ Basic body, standard interiors.

+1 yep, about 100-150lbs lighter. but the same LS1 engine as options as a TA without the ws6 ram air, ls6 intake manifold, and ws6 catback..
they dyno @290ish rwhp like TAs.

you sure t-top and leather is standard on T/As?

dont forget about the front bumper guys. the Formulas have the same front bumper as the sixers.
