93-97 Trans Am had the Lt1.
98-02 Trans Am had the Ls1.
Firebird is the v6 model, Firebird Formula is the v6 body with a v8. Those are ugly, dont get one.
Both model trans am are awesome looking cars and can look very stylish and aggressive, but the 98+ is the best looking T/A hands down.
The Lt1 isnt a bad motor to DD and can be modified, plus it has a better exhaust note but the Ls1 will always be the better motor.
Lt1 - 5.7L v8, 275hp, 325 lb-ft, 1/4 in 14.1
Ls1 - 5.7L v8, 305hp, 335 lb-ft. 1/4 Mid-13s
You can get an Lt1 T/A for very cheap, i've seen them in my area for as low as $3,000+
The Ls1 engine is the better engine choice in the long run, but you'll pay for it. Trans Am Ls1 in my area go for roughly $8,000+ (Estimate)
I would personally drive either body style but the 98+ still have the edge for sure.
93-97 Body Style(Lt1):
98-02 Body Style (Ls1):
What it really comes down too, is how much your willing to spend and whats in your wallet.
But if you have the money, Ls1 > Lt1
