I popped open my Pontiac Mag that you get for free when you buy a car..(One helluva way to get a magazine subscription eh? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> )...
And I found 'The Numbers'
I quickly scanned and OCR'd the page and am posting it. Additionally, I'd like to find a further breakdown on different combo's.
If anyone else has, or comes across this info, PLEASE POST IT.
(If this info has already been posted, please forgive me..)

Only 901 Formulas!! And I KNOW my special ordered 3.23 !TC BSM Formula must be conservatively in the 200-300 Range..Pfft..It realistically may be much lower. I may truely have a 'rare bird' on my hands. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Those NHRA editions... I didnt even know they made em in 02!!! I thought they stopped making those. Otherwise, I would have tried to get one.
My 98 I have only been able to figure on being one of about 700 with its combo, mainly because it doesnt have TC. (Remember, 98 was one of the lowest production years because of, as I understand it, the temporary shut down at the plant to finish re-tooling for the LS1)
Looking at the numbers, there were only 30,690 lucky SOB's to score a true 'Last of Breed' car.
Long Live the Firebird!!!
