Trans Am vs. Firebird
 

What is the difference?! I seem to be having a problem distinguishing the difference.... :oops: :roll: :? :?

Engine and cosmetics. Like the SSEi and the SE, a Trans Am is a fancy Firebird

TA is the highest model of the Firebird...... (besides FirehawkI believe)
As for styling / things to look for........ dunno.... but I believe the TA's have a different body kit

Exactly, for example 97-02 LS1 Firebirds/Z28's had 310hp while Trans Ams/SS had 325hp. WS6 is just an appearance and suspension package.

Originally the T/A was the racer version, for Trans America Racing back in the late 60's. The manufacturers had to make certain numbers of cars to compete with that setup.

i didnt think it was too much of a diffenec eexept that a firebird can come as a V-6 and the traans am always had a highr spoiler

F bodies got the LS1 in 98. The corvette had it solely in 97.

Spoiler, Hood Scoops, Quarter panel vents, body kit. Depends on what year Firebird/TransAm you are looking at as to which options are available.

FYI - There was the Firebird (SE), Firebird Formula (SSE), and TransAm (SSEi)....

Or

Firebird (SE) Firebird Formula (GT) Trans Am (GTP) and Firehawk (GTX)

I honestly don't know what the differences are...

However, from what I've read Steve and John are on the right track.
