im in hopes of having firehawk power out of the ta, i dont really like the way the ws6 is though, its something about the seats that hurt my back, but the reason my back hurts could be the same reason it took me awhile to even take the ta back on the local express way




but in the end, even though they are underpowerd this is my favorite as far as ride quality

His window sticker says 2004 F150.

i could have sworn that had the dates but its been forever since i looked at a 04, i know it holds the value very well though, my parents are wanting theres traded in because my mom has cancer and its too hard to climb in but they told them it could be worth 12-17k

I would like to see a better picture of this car...I dont think its a TA. It looks like either a Formula or a Firebird. It deffintly doesnt have a TA rear wing or rear bumper on it.

its a formula, but im tired of people not know what formula is lol, theres no real big differnce in a formula and ta, a ta weights 150lbs more then a formula and and formula makes the same power. (from what ive been told) and i belive it because i ran 0-60 with a ta but i couldnt handle him from a roll because its a auto.

Neither one of them said Formula Trans Am...they said Firebird Formula. A Formula is a V8 Firebird. A Trans Am is a Trans Am. They have totally different VIN numbers.

but they make the same power, and i like the way the formula rides the seats to bludge out on your back, i have a bad back from gettin hit in the rear of that camaro and the formula sits perfect for me. also i sometimes feel that i can handle a formula better then a t/a but i dont belive it because doesnt the ta come with the slp package or is that the fire hawk? hell i dont remember.

A standard TA has the same suspension as your car. A Ram Air car has WS6 suspension...which handles way better than standard. Then the Firehawk comes with a standard SLP suspension which is a little better than the WS6 suspension or an optional Bilstien Package (which my Hawk has) that consists of Bilstien shocks and Eibach springs.

The seats are different. T-Tops, leather, power windows, locks and mirrors are optional on the Formula....all standard on the TA. Exterior wise the TA has fog lights, ground effects and a hi-rise wing. Low optioned Formulas (no power options or T-Tops) are pretty nice finds because they are so light. I have an 87 WS6 Formula 350 with zero power options and a solid roof...its the only one I have ever seen in person without any of those options.

they make a none power option formula??? i got to find me one seriously that sucker must weight a good 150 pounds less then mine, but i do belive mine has all the options for a 2000 formula. do you know if its normal for one to chrip second gear pretty ****ing hard?? mine does then often when i punch it real good and i didnt know if its possible that it had a chip or what because it also goes pretty high in the rpms. but i dont really know because i bought mine used for just 5k so i thought it was a sweet steal i mean deal
