Answer

It's trim level. There are three trim levels for the Pontiac Firebird.

Firebird (base)
Firebird Formula
Firebird Trans Am

Firebird GTA (Third Generation Only) (it's to the Trans Am as the IROC-Z is to the Z28)

Generally, the higher trim levels offer more goodies and more power than lower trim levels.

The second generation also had the Firebird Esprit.

The Trans Am model included a stiffer suspension, larger engine (some years), and distinctive graphics.


The Trans Am is a Firebird. It's an upgrade option. Usually includes upgrades including engine, suspension, body...(spoilers) etc.

Can you put a 2001 Pontiac Montana transmission into a 1996 Pontiac firebird?

NO! the Montana is a front wheel drive minivan and the firebird is a rear wheel drive, even if they were both rear wheel drive for some reason, the firebird engine would shred the wimpy minivan trans and it would be just wrong to put a minivan trans in a firebird.
