I 🤔 Truly loved My Pontiac 🏁👍 GTO 5.7L And G8 6.0L Cam. Also before those My first General Motors Pontiac was a Grand Prix I was On the 🤔 Hunt for 5.0 Ford Mustangs 🏁👑 Yes Please.
not by a long shot. The ws6 got bastardized and over quoted. WS6 has been around for decades. I have had pontiacs for over 40 years. It was not until SLP was contracted to swap out the hoods and air intake box, that the hooded ws6 package became popular. There were many cars built on order with thw ws6 suspension only.
I have a 2001 WS6 automatic car with 90k miles.....I'm definitely changing out the auto transmission when I get some money together. The automatic transmission is nowhere near as fun as a 6 speed. Totally different cars as far as the fun factor. Automatics are just too serene and not exciting
99 white n blue and 02 yellow and black. Also 74 super duty blue, 3.8 turbo T/A which was just as fast as the grand national. 68 400 ram air black, had to weld a chain on one side kept breaking motor mounts= some serious torque.
Great video; my 02 T/A WS6 convertible gets heads turned every where I go. I agree they are pretty rare and people don't know what they are. I always have people asking me when I hit the coffe-and-cars shows!
The ws6 rpo really is overrated. I had a regular trans am with bolt ons and the normal hood and it was faster than most ws6 i raced. My camaro now with same boltons is faster than the several ws6 in my town here. They all have the stock exhaust still lol
I had a red 97 Trans Am WS6 with an automatic. My first TA and loved that car, but it was from the lot so sort of settled for what they had. I ordered my 01 navy blue Trans Am WS6 with manual in Oct 2000, got it 2 days before Christmas (what a gift!!). Still have it and recently had some upkeep done on it. I am in love with this car all over again!! So much fun to drive. Looks almost as good as new. Only 54K miles.
1996 was the first year of the WS6 package for the 4th Gen cars. You could get it on the Firebird Formula and Trans Am. All of the V8 Firebirds could be optioned with either a 4spd automatic or 6spd manual transmission. All 1998-2002 Trans Ams came with T-Tops unless you opted for a convertible.
@rogerdavis2056 Yes. In this instance, I was referring to the 4th gen cars. The WS6 package was available in the 3rd Gen as well. I've been watching a lot of 4th Gen vids lately, and there a good number that don't have their facts straight.
