Somebody asked that question about the camaro, and then someobdy told everything about the birds. The birds are base model, 305's. The formula is the med car, 305-350's. Suspension is improved, and the t/a and gta are the top. I think the GTA was better and offered more than the T/A, but don't quote me. The GTA I think was only offered for like three years. I don't know everything about them but I hope that is a start. One more thing, the formula could have everything the T/A had but didn't have the gfx. It had the t/a spoiler and in I think 87 they brought back the cowl hood. But unlike the 83's the cowl is not functional. I am sure I made some mistakes in the response but but I hope they werent to bad!!

IIRC GTA's were all 350's, and had a nicer interior than a TA

I pretty sure GTAs had 305s as well.
