Officially all three...

Parts store its a Firebird, most people understand and recognize Trans Am, an enthusiast will refer to it as simply GTA.

It is a Trans Am GTA. Says so right in the badges.

When dealing with most people, I simply only refer to it as a Trans am because when you toss on the GTA letters they get confused easily. Depends on where you go, some parts stores have the GTA in there and others don't.

GTA btwn people who know/care. To everyone else, I'd call it a Firebird and hope they don't ask "what's that?".

Nope, Trans Am not Firebird. If they don't know what that is then you need to walk away immediately.

When I was younger and had my 88 Mustang 5.0, the Camaros were referred to as IROCs and the Firebirds were GTAs.

Usually when I tell people I have a Trans Am, they think it's either a Grand Am, or a Trans Sport minivan.
