4th gen Firebird Formula vs T/A
Can somebody please tell me the difference? I have a 2000 Firebird Formula. And besides the obvious body difference of a Formula and T/A, are there any other differences? The title to my car actually says "Firebird Formula/Trans am". I like my formula because many people think its a V6, but then I can just race them and its fun. Although I once became very angry when someonebody was talking about how my car was "just a v6" and yelled at a stranger. I've "heard" that the formula actually weighs less then the T/A because of the extra body moldings on the T/A making the formula a lil bit faster. Anyways, just curious as to what you guys/girls can tell me on the subject!

Hey stranger, where have you been? 
As far as I can tell, the only different between the two is cosmetic. When I think of the T/A formula argument, I also think of the mustang GT/LX argument. same motor and drivetrain, just less options and body moldings.
*EDIT*
you might want to think about fixing that typo in your sig.

yeah thats pretty much it...formy's were usually slightly lighter so stock for stock had the ability to run slightly faster...that could mean none at all or ~.1 int eh 1/4...no difference as far as engine/tranny options though...they all made the same power

Well, wasn't HP different? A WS6 is rated at 325 and a Formula and a T/A without Ram Air were both 310. For awhile they had the WS6 Formulas, but I'm pretty sure in 01 and 02 Ram Air was only an option on the T/A...

they're all the same, it's just a marketing gimmick.
