I have a '94 T/A (non gt). It came with the firebird spoiler, hardtop, 110 speedo, 2:73 gears & P235's R front & back. The only option my car came with was power windows, rear defoger & power door locks the rest, including the transmission perform button, was base.

the only year the Trans Am GT was a factory named car (model) was 94. there were no "trans am gt's" in 93, and 95 to present. after 94, the high spoiler came standard, as did the other features that were part of the "gt package" offered in 94.

OK..... some confusion in the above posts.

Yes.... 1994 was the only year for the "Trans Am" (low rise spoiler) and "Trans Am GT" (high rise spoiler) upgrade. The GT package (Y83) was basically a "loaded" TA with the high rise spoiler. Package included:

-articulating seats
-G92 high performance axle and engine oil cooler
-B84 body side moldings
-AM3 4-way adjustable drivers seat
-A31 power windows
-K34 cruise control
-DG7 blue glass power mirrors
-AUO remote keyless entry
-UX1 10-spkr sound system
-C49 rear window defogger
-OLC Z-rated tires
-leather appointment group
-fog lamps
-high rise spoiler

At the time, a TA coupe listed for $20,319. The TA GT coupe was $21,819. Most of the GT options could be individualy put on a Formula or a TA, with one oddball being the Z-rated tires - standard on the TA GT, optional on the Formula, not avialable on the TA. All this is according to the "Illustrated Buyer's Guide - Firebird".

Now some confusion...... In (I think it was 1995???) GM started offering a "bolt-on" performance and ground effects package, dealer installed. This was called the "F-1" in the Camaro, and the "GT" in the Firebird. I think these were mainly intended for the base V6 models, but since they were dealer installed, they often found their way onto a Z28 or a Formula (couldn't put the ground effects on the TA, it already had them).

Info from the "4th Gen FAQ":

Q: What's included in the F1-Camaro/Firebird-GT package?

A: This is a package available through most dealerships. It offers a variety of performance and cosmetic parts from the GM Performance Group. The following is a list of the parts for the F1-Camaro (and for the Firebird-GT) and can be ordered for your Z28 or Formula through your dealership (this is the parts list for the F-1. The GT was similar, except no "3-piece spoiler" and the wheels were the 5-spoke design from the TA):

Not all T/A's came with the high spoiler after 95. My buddy has a 96 T/A and it has the low spoiler. but maybe his was a custom one cuz he has red leather in his red T/A. was the red leather and option on T/A's?

Nope, you're right, Ken is mistaken. I know at least in 96, the "Up-Level Spoiler", as it was referred to in the brochure, was an additional cost, (Approx. $350) even on my fully loaded WS6 Trans Am model.

I would venture to say it probably was an option on the 97's as well, but I'm not an expert on other years...

The "Red Book" shows T43, Uplevel Spoiler, $395 in the 1995, 1996 and 1997 option lists. The "buyer's Guide" only shows it in 1995 and 1996

96 and 97 interior colors show only "Dark Pewter" and "Taupe".
