The T/A comes with Leather as a standard opion, has the raised spoiler, side skirts, different front clip, and different rear bumper.

The major differance is....the formula looks better...lol

The formula is comparable to the lx 5.0 mustang. Its a bit simpler and is basically a sleeper Trans Am. It has the full apperance of a 3800 with the muscle of the ls1.

The Formula does run a few bucks cheaper...

t-tops became standard on formula's in either 01 or 02. It was an option before that.

Acuatully it is the Trans AM that is a option on the formula. Every car is started as a v6 firebird then you pick options. Trans am is acuatully just a option just like Formula is. So the Formula came first. God gives man the ablitiy to make a perfect car hence the formula man desides to try to improve on gods work...Hence you get a overweight Trans am.

it seems most of you guys like the formula looks better than Trans Am's. i like The TAs a little better because the spoiler looks totally awesome. i like the TA fron better too. i'm going to Pontiac.com and find out the real perormance differences because i know there is some.

There are no performance differences between a Trans Am and a Formula. The drivetrains are identical. The Trans Am has more bells and whistles, but nothing more performance-wise.

Think of the Formula as kind of a poor man's Trans Am ! And the WS6 as the pinnacle to which ALL muscle cars aspire to be ! lol !

Naturally my opinion is totally unbiased .
