I don't really know that for sure though lol, i gotta formula and got the t/a hatch a ram air hood, and ww kit, and now im getta another f-body most likely a 94 trans am the exact same color as my car right now or might get a white 94 z28....dunno which im gonna get though....decisions decisions.
Re: Trans am or Formula
I drive a formula, and I think if I were to buy another 4th gen it'd be a formula too. I really like the way they look. The down side is that lots of people have no idea what a firebird formula is, where as everyone knows what a trans am is. Albeit, these people are idiots, but the point is you don't get a whole lot of bragging rights driving a firebird. Every mustang owner and their dog has raced a V6 firebird, and can't seem to understand they came with a V8 engine too.
Hehehe, funny story, one of my friends took a ride in my car once, was totally impressed, and then went out and bought a sunfire because he thought it was the same car that I had. Apparently it's a common misconception among people that are dumbasses.

Formula all the way...4th gen T/A spoilers are too gaudy, as are the beaks. Of course, I am biased...I work for a Pontiac dealer, and sold my dad a Sunset Orange '02 Formula M6 brand new 3 years ago 
Sitting at home with 2,600 miles on it, it will be mine someday...

Re: Trans am or Formula
I am biased to the TA as well. Typically it's almost funny to say but the TA has always been about being "too much". Or as some would say "gaudy".
I love love love the look of the TA. I can't get into the Formula's. The taillights look different too, don't they? Maybe it's because I had an actual six in '93 and now when I go out to the garage I am reminded what is under the hood.

Re: Trans am or Formula
The Formula would be a bit faster from a standstill. The T/A would be faster at top end and handle better at high speed, either car's advantage being so small the common driver (yes, including most F-body drivers) would never notice a difference.
Another vote for the Formula appearance-wise. I've never cared for "ground-defects".
