Let's see, an S/E is a higher model than a standard firebird, and a lower model than a T/A.

Both the base firebird and the S/E came with the 2.8 v6. But you could get a S/E with a v8. Hope this clears things up a bit, and please correct me if im wrong.

SE = look of a TA but the pricetag of a base model from what I understand.

I had an 85 Firebird SE and a 86 T/A. Most of the components were identical (body parts). The SE had an LG-4 engine while the T/A had the TPI LB-9.

The SE was a Trans Am without the ground effects, spoiler, and T-Tops. It has the same WS-6 performance suspension. It actually handled better than my T/A because of the hard top.
