[Beach Cruiser]

I keep seeing all the WS6's and they all seem to have the A4 tranny. I tried to look up production numbers but nothing that breaks it down that way. Is that a rare combo? Mine is lan M6 from the factory with T-tops and RamAir. Just Curious... I did check the build sticker and it's not a 1LE... Oh well, can't have it all.

[00 Trans Ram]

Well, I've got one.

Mine is pretty rare, as it has no radio or A/C, either. Of course, it doesn't have t-tops, heater, seats, carpet, a dash, exhaust pipes, mirrors, or windows, either! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I think there were more autos than manuals, but not by a huge margin. Maybe 60/40 or so.

My spare motor and trans are from a 1997 WS6 M6 car. Got t-boned by a ding dong driving a Ford pickup!

I agree with Mike.......

My WS6 is an M6 too ~ but we are on a RR & AX forum (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

[Formula WS6]

Well, when it comes to the LT1 cars, yes, the WS6 cars can be rare. The Formula WS6 cars are especially rare no matter what year or trans option(96-00). Mine happens to be one of 525 total Formula WS6s built in 96. Silver though is the rarest color with 39 total(13 autos and 26 manuals). In 1997 the numbers were lower for Formulas. The Trans Am WS6 cars were in the 2000-2100 range for 96 and 97. Those numbers went way up for 98-02 years. I believe there were more WS6 cars in 02 than regular TAs. The Formula WS6 cars started to become very rare in the 98-00 years. For what ever reason Formulas were not purchased in the 98-02 years. Add to that the WS6 option and the numbers became even smaller. Finding an 00 WS6 Formula is not easy unless you get lucky. 2000 was the last year for the WS6 Formula. The rarest of rare though is any 1LE Formula WS6. I have only seen one and it was pewter and had low mileage. It was gorgeous. To find a 1LE pontiac, look for a factory fixed antenna. Pontiacs came standard with power antennas. The 1LE deleted that option.

[LT4Firehawk]

I'd say the LT4 Firehawk is probably the rarest of the rare. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Also, LT1 Formulas did not come standard with power antennas, but they were part of a commonly ordered option pack. Later in the production run they did move to that being standard equipment I believe.

Back to the main question, I'd say that while the automatic was the most common, the manuals were not really rare. Probably something like 30-40% of production on average.
