Take care,

Jim

Got the original 4th gen :)

I have one... maybe someone that has one of the other 6 like mine will post up here eventually

I have one and loving every second of it!

I have one as well.

I ordered it from the dealler in May 98 and took delivery in Nov 98, due to the strike that summer.

It has all the options but leather and LE1. I almost ordered the LE1 but wanted the T roofs.

No longer stock, lol.

Just picked up a non-running 97 looks just like stealthformula"s. Got it real cheap and am chomping at the bit to get her running mines a 6speed

2000 ws6 a4 here...

Mine is A 98 ws6 formula, black, 6-speed, tan leather. All of the 98's i've seen have dark cloth or dark leather. I think there were less than 30 in 98 with leather. My build date is 3/23/98

98 Formula Ws6, Auto, Leather, Picked it up with 60k on the clock for 7G's. The trans am is a little too gaughty for my taste but the formula's are just right! I love my hot wheels car. After being harassed by my buddies telling me that the formula wing is for girls and not looking cool i finally gave in and put the "man wing" as they call it on the car. http://i384.photobucket.com/albums/oo289/Formulaws666/DSCF0532.jpg

Cool car FormulaWS666! Did you repaint the hood or anything? Usually the RAM AIR stickers are down a little lower...I have a red 99 Formula... it has a real WS6 hood but not a real coded one :(
I'd really like to get a real LS1 Formula WS6 someday, ill prob keep my regular one forever though:

Oh, but my 1979 Formula Firebird is a WS6 ;)

http://www.hagenracing.topdeadcenterpodcast.com//mystuff/IMG_6303%20(Medium).JPG

The guy that owned the car before me was retarded to say the least. I asked him the same thing and he told me that he held the buffing wheel on the hood too long and ripped the ram air decals off. I checked the door codes and vin to make sure it was a true Ws6 when i bought it though. The clear on my hood is not doing so well bc of him. :mad::mad::mad:

Love that old school formula, Keep it forever!!!

I have a 2000 WS6 Ram Air Formula. Black, leather, T-Tops, Aero Package, up-level spoiler, etc. I have the original build sheet and window sticker. It has 85K so far.

Anyone know how may black 2000 WS6 Ram Air Formula's were made in 2000?

I know there were 233 total WS6 Formulas...

Anyone in Virginia that owns a WS6 Formula?

Brent

i dont know how many black ones were made i have one also i have a link up top with some pictures i took a cpl weeks ago you should check it out and post some pictures of yours on here

Sweet, there seems to be a good amount of 2000's around, I have seen some wrecked, parted out etc.....add 1 more to the 2000 stable here, and hopefully by end of year, will have my H/C swap done!

I picked mine up a week ago.

Mine's a silver '99 A4. Bought it brand new, only has 33K on the clock now.

I picked mine up a week ago.

#5 FIREBIRD FORMULA

This was the shocker of the day. This car just may be the quickest stock Firebird of all time. And when you consider its $26,000 price tag, the cheapest of all 13 cars, the Firebird easily wins "bang for the buck" title.

How do we explain this Formula's awesome performance? How can we explain its 13.15-second ET and 108.27 mph trap speed, which is more than two-tenths of a second and 2 mph better than the Camaro? Like we said before, we can't. However, we can guess. First: weight. This Firebird is a stripper, without heavy options like power windows, power seat, etc. Second: tolerances. Sometimes they stack up and you get a faster car. Sometimes they don't.

Whatever it was, this Ram Air Pontiac ran down the track like it was born to, spitting out the most wonderful V8 baritone tune from the tree to the traps. The LS1 engine has a wonderfully flat torque curve, but it lays down at 5500 rpm, 500 revs shy of its redline. Shifting there netted us our best time.

And what sweet shifts they are.

Flatfoot shift Second and this Formula has enough grunt to lay down two 10-ft. stripes on the asphalt. You can bark the dogs in Third as well. We did miss one shift, however, when our sweaty palm slipped off the Firebird's plastic baby-butt-smooth shift knob.

my bad i missed the formula part.lol

I truely think that in 25-30 years our cars will be worth a fuck load more then the trans am WS6s

233 cars in 2000 I would say about 25-33% would be black its a popular color. so maybe 70 ish

i had a question on my 00 formula ws6 i know its a real ws6 casue i ran the numbers on it and the sticker on my door says so..i got the car with 40k about a year ago and i was surprised that even though it was a v8 it had single exhaust out the drivers side of the bumper...my question is..did these come with single exhaust or what everything looks original on it i thought i had heard some of the earlier ones like 98's came with single but im not sure if anybody could shine some light on this thanks!

98s were the only year that i knew had single exhaust. Was it a stock catback or did someone just make it a single on the left.

it is stock 3 inch piping i belive into an original muffler and out the drivers side part of the bumper i thought it was weird too but it was original and its not a 98 it seemed odd so i just kept the old exhaust when i put my hooker on there...i want to find out what i have before i start messing with it too much...i know theyre going to be very popular in the future something like a yenko camaro..lol..but im trying to keep it as original as i can not cut anything up or ghetto rig it at all...and i keep all my original parts too

Just a note to your asking for ws6 owners to reply. I have finished a frame up on my new toy everything was removed, cleaned and painted. All new parts and bushings including bmi panard bar,boxed control arms with stock car two (2) piece bushings. 3.73 gears,tuned,85mm mass air,strut tower brace,chrome under hood treatment along with magnaflow true duals and many other parts. This is my last project as age is working against me. This is my labor of love with the help of my son. New wheels and tires this week 10 spoke argent z06 17 front 275x40 and 18 rear 315x35 should have a great stance. I have completely documented this vehicle and have pictures and info from first owner. My car is a4-t-tops-leather-cassette player and the other usual items. 22 were built in 1998, 7 with m6-15 a4 and only 2 with cassette.

All Stock

Checking in.

Got one here. :cheers:
Although all the options that made it a WS6 have since been changed! lol (except the hood)

My brother has a red 98 formula ws.6 m6. He's not a tech member tho, just thought I would check in for him lol.

Jim, could you confirm that your '98 WS6 is a Formula and not a T/A? My ASC# spreadsheet shows #1084 is a Trans Am. It wouldn't be the first time I've found similar errors in this spreadsheet. But we also had someone else accidently post his T/A in this Formula thread.

I show your conversion date is 4/22/98. And my data agrees that 22 Arctic White '98 Formula WS6s were built.

Hope you don't mind, I've added you to the WS6 Build Number listing in the sticky thread.

Thanks

I sold my Firehawk Formula to buy my current GTO, which I really truely regret, as the GTO has been nothing but a headache since I bought it. As soon as I dump the GTO I am planning on buying a WS6 formula.

I would buy another Firehawk formula, but I got sick of the small problems with the hood (cracks, bubbles), and I have always wanted a WS6 formula.
