My cousin just sent me an email that had the response he recieved from the director at Pontiac historic services. In 2000, (specifically April 21st), my cousin factory ordered this Formula, (the car in the back obviously):

With the WS6 option on it. Later on when he thought about it, he mailed into the historic services to see if they could tell him any more specifics on it.
Heres everything the Pontiac guy wrote, (minus his name).
"Yes, the 2000 model year was that last time that the WS6 - Performance
Package was available on the Firebird Formula. For the 2000 model year,
Pontiac produced a total of 1535 Firebird Formulas (all coupes). Of that
number only 233 Formulas came with the WS6 Performance Package.
Unfortunately, we have no way of determining if yours was the last WS6
Formula built. Sorry!"
That's pretty kick ass huh? With how late in the model year he ordered it, it's at least one of the last, if not THE last Formula Firebird with the WS6 option. Too bad the guys at Pontiac can't find out for sure...

Actually he had his VIN in his e-mail, (I just didn't post it here), and I've been looking around at VIN decoders online trying to find out more than it's make model and options list. Haven't found any specifics yet unfortunately. My cousin thinks the guy was kinda chickenshit too, but still, he's looking into other sources available to find out about it.
