Ws7

[mrdirtyz28]

what's a WS7 a guy @ work just got one.he claims it a lot faster than a ws6 is this true before i race him for some money?also it has ws9 in the door for a code???

[nhra-trans-am]

ws7 isn't a real package for firebirds. basically, it is a base t/a that has all the ws6 options added to it. Instead of calling it ws6 tho, they call it ws7, since it isn't a real ws6. Ws9 is the conversion code for a t/a. Nothing special about that.

[Corona-Extra]

so yea, to sum it up, the guys a loser because his vehicle is imitating something is isnt..

[99blueZ]

immitating something it isn't? its not like having a WS6 over a regular T/A is that special or a SS over a Z28. Its mainly all appearance. Its not like this is a mustang GT and some guy slapped Cobra badges on it. Our cars are basically all the same.

the guy is not a loser. People call their transformed Trans Am a WS7 to avoid people who say that its a fake WS6. I think its pretty cool.

To claim his WS7 is faster than a WS6 is bull - unless he has mods.

[Hot Black Trans-Am]

He'd be a loser if tried to call it a WS6. Acknowledging that it isn't is being honest on his part. I bought a base T/A and replaced everything that makes a WS6 one with better parts than what the factory does during the conversion so in that aspect mine is faster and better handling than a stock WS6. I like the Ram Air hood so I put one and it is a bit beefier one than what the factory one was also. I'm not telling anyone that mine is a WS6 just the same as him. I'm not imatating a car it isn't. It's just the what everyone calls it when you do up a base T/A with a WS6 style hood. I didn't want to waste the money on what I would replace anyway. I hope your not calling me and alot of people on this board losers are you???

[Corona-Extra]

Ohk.. I retract the loser statement.. but I don’t like the whole idea behind the WS7 badge.. I mean, it may just be that its a WS "7"... which is a of course a higher number than "6"... that says to me that its something bigger and better then the WS6.. when in fact its not… why did I pay for a WS6, because it’s a WS6.. I don’t want someone who didn’t spend the money like I did.. going around trying to imitate something that he/she isn’t.. i dont know.. i dont like it..

[Hot Black Trans-Am]

I spent way more on mine to make it a WS7 then the factory $3000 option to make it a WS6. I don't know who or why it was dubbed a WS7 other than being similar, but different. A WS6 is what the factory called it and that is all that there is in the number. A base trans-am and Formula is a WS9 option if that helps your problem with the WSx numbering any.

[Corona-Extra]

"my problem".. i guess you were offended... oh well.. shit happens.. its America.. what are we going to do..

[Hot Black Trans-Am]

I'm not offended, just trying to help you see why it's done like that and that numbers really mean jack. I just don't like people being closed minded and thinking things that are really not the way they are, but may appear to be. :cheers:

[third_shift|studios]

if i spend the money to convert it, i'd sure as hell slap a ws.6 badge on it.

[HAWKNYU]

I'm glad he didn't decide to imitate a Firehawk and then call it a "Bird Hawk" or something like that...

i guess you somewhat see where im coming from.. glad to see im not the only one out there...

[Runn_WS7]

I put my WS7 emblem on because i dont want to pretend that it is a ws6... everybody who knows a little about f-body knows what a ws7 is.

It is a upgraded TA that is better than the stock WS6 is... just my 2 cents.

[Mr. Luos]

That confuses me. Your modded car is better than a stock car??
Apples and oranges.

I would gather to say my WS.6 is probably a bit faster than most WS.7's.

Of course this part is all opinion, but covers most opinions that I have seen.
Stock T/A < Stock WS.6
Stock 'WS.7' < Stock WS.6
Modded 'WS.7' = Stock WS.6 (appearance wise)
Obviously some are modded further than others and can change that.

[RedT/Anumber1]

"my problem".. i guess you were offended... oh well.. shit happens.. its America.. what are we going to do..

True! Usually people start throwing curse words. But you guys settled it like adults. Good job.

[RedT/Anumber1]

Hey! What do I have to add to my car to make it run like a WS6? A side from a poser emblem. Besides I have a custum LS-GUN decal.

[94formulaLT1]

whether you put your money into buying a ws6 or making a replica doesnt really matter both have a LS1 engine right(98-02), and dont quiet a few of us end up changing those slight differences anyways, the way i see it if its a trans am i love it, but given the choice i would take a ws6 over a bone stock T/A mainly due to the fact that its already slightly modded and im not exactly rich. anyways heres another question for yall, im about to get a WS6, but i was wondering someting. this one is factory equipped with a hurst shifter, did all ws6's come factory equipped with one, or was that an option on any trans am not just the ws6?

[2000pontiac6]

How many of you would be a little aggitated if someone made their formula look like a formula firehawk or their base ta look like a firehawk? For those of you that wouldn't be annoyed by it at all... what about a V6 making their car look like a firehawk so long as they don't call it one? I have a v6 bird and love the look of the formula firehawk above all the rest but just don't think it would be right for me to copy it exactly

[RedT/Anumber1]

I don't mind if someone poses as a firehawk. Its not as if they can back it up.

[Zboner]

who gives a rats ass?? its your car do as you please with it

[newguy WS6]

^ Im with Boner.. who gives a shit..

Opinions are like ass holes.. everybodys got one

[PontiacFan]

And they all stink, ...

There's a v6 Firebird here in the Kearney area with 'Firehawk' decals on it, ...

[newguy WS6]

I thought that was the fart i just let.

Anyway Im off topic so I will stop

I was born with two ass holes, and three cocks.:lol:

[86redtransam]

you know this kind of reminds me of a guy i met that said the ws6 badge was actually w5.6 he tried to tell me that it was really w5.6 becuase the motor is a 5.6 litre not a 5.7.... he kept claiming he knew this cuase his friend worked at LG motorsports.. talk about making LG look stupid still got my borla exhaust and strut bar from them but still kinda sounds similiar to this.

[KyleLs1]

if i spend the money to convert it, i'd sure as hell slap a ws.6 badge on it.

who gives a rats ass?? its your car do as you please with it

agree with you both

[Mullet]

anyways heres another question for yall, im about to get a WS6, but i was wondering someting. this one is factory equipped with a hurst shifter, did all ws6's come factory equipped with one, or was that an option on any trans am not just the ws6?

Not all WS6 cars came with it. It was an option on I believe any Trans Am.

[my1973form]

Not all WS6 cars came with it. It was an option on I believe any Trans Am. Or on a Formula I ordered my that way.

[Hurley711]

WS7 is no different than a ricer slapping a "Type R" badge on their car. Period. WS7 was a dealer option . WS7 owners are using a dealer option RPO code which was for an aftermarket hood. That, is a ricer move. Who cars if you udpgraded the car? Does that mean owners who S/C their car should get a WS8 badge? Ooohh how bout TT owners getting a WS10 badge!!! IT's a ricer move for a TA owners to slap that on their car, be happy with a modified TA.:thumbdn:

:iagree: couldn’t have said it better.. I guess when I ProCharger my WS6 I'll get me a WS11 badge!

[Hurley711]

As stated earlier, what's with the WS7? Why does it have to be 1 better than a WS6? If anything why not WS5:typer: :typer: :typer:

[RedT/Anumber1]

Does all this really matter? I don't care what badge someones car has. I going to whoop his ass. Badges never helped anyone go faster. Besides it will just make it that much humilliating when you woop thier ass. Ws7 or GT-R I'ts all the same to me. But whatever, like Zboner said ,its your car do what you want.

That is why I don't have a WS7 badge and I tell people it's a modded T/A with a Ram Air hood. I have had other people tell me "Oh it's a WS7 then." Putting a Ram Air hood is not ricer at all if it's functional. Putting on the glue on scoops are total ricer.

Ram Air hood is fine, modding is fine. Calling it a WS7 however is rice. Just save the trouble and throw a "Type R" badge on there while you're at it.

[Runn_WS7]

Hahaha.... this thread is great :)

[Hurley711]

Honestly....what would you guys say if I told you that I bought a stock C5 and fully upgraded it to Z06 status, and than slapped some Z07 badges on it so I wouldn't be passing it off as a Z06? How gay would that be?

I'm sure it's been done already. I hate badges and that's why I don't have any.

[Vertiviper]

I'm glad he didn't decide to imitate a Firehawk and then call it a "Bird Hawk" or something like that...

lol, or somethin fruity like "spicey chicken"



which leads into the next question....I know a guy who has a Firehawk..will my Spicey Chicken beat his Firehawk?


Spicey Chicken vs Firehawk ??????

[mrdirtyz28]

thanks

[Hot Black Trans-Am]

Maybe I should have a Mach1 badge made up or put a SS badge on it. Wouldn't that be friggin' sweet??

[HAWKNYU]

I once had a Mazda, GTX which was fairly rare(only 1500 were made). The badges said..."DOHC 16V Intercooled Turbo"..."Full Time 4wd"..."323" and even ..."MAZDA", but "GTX" was nowhere on it inside or out but all the literature called it a GTX.

That's just to show how important a badge really is... or should I say isn't. Did I ever think about getting a Plymouth GTX badge and putting it on it?...No...not in the 8 years that I had the car.

[Hot Black Trans-Am]

I would have had an "Uncle Ben's" badge made up for that!

[Vertiviper]

By the way, I took all of that off except "MAZDA" and "323" especially since it had a special paint scheme anyway.

What he said.

[third_shift|studios]

badges, like the car, are an extension of the one's personality and how you customize it to be unique to your own. If i saw a ws.X badge on a car, i would assume that it has been modified in some form or fashion and recognize they are just trying to show that.

just like you're haircut, your choice in clothes, your eye glasses, a badge is just one more item you can use to be identified.

I find this thread extremely interesting. The one thing everyone must remember, is that everyone has their own opinion, and must also respect the opinion of others (no matter how wrong they are :) :) ).

That's really what it boils down to. I used to get into arguments with another person from this board because no matter what I said he felt was wrong because it wasn't what HIS car had.......(yea that kind of person)...at the end of the day 'to each is own'

[86redtransam]

why not just get the ws6 badge and call it a clone?? whats what they do with 69 yenko's and 69 trans am's

[Red Trans Man]

That was an option on all Trans Ams. Some have them, some don't

[86redtransam]

that means you can go and get the hurst equipped badge and piss more people off lol, yeah it was an option though go for it!

[ProAm122]

Does anyone know what my "Pro Am" badge means?

[my1973form]

Does anyone know what my "Pro Am" badge means?
Here is what I found about Pro AM Firebirds
The Pro-Am III Firebird was done by a company in Chattanooga, TN. The cars are base V6 Firebirds with large "Pro-Am III" lettering on the doors. The stock hood got a fiberglass ram air scoop attached to the top (looking the Firehawk/WS6 hood), but it's not functional. It also got side skirts, a dual outlet muffler, a numbered plaque, two-tone paint, chrome 5-spoke 16" wheels (with the original base tires), and different bumper covers.

[ProAm122]

Do you know what company did these? Mine is a V8/6 spd. I guess they did some V6 and some V8? My car also looks lower than stock. Is there a way to measure? Thank you for your help!

[WS.SICK]

i thought the ws9 was an appearance package.. front lip, side skirts and rear fascia for the v6 firebirds??

[WS.SICK]

to each his own i guess- but i have a WS.6 :D

[nhra-trans-am]

i thought the ws9 was an appearance package.. front lip, side skirts and rear fascia for the v6 firebirds??

that's w68

[NHRAMAN]

WS8 or even WS9 are even faster....WS10 is outta sight so fast you wouldn't believe it...RACE at at your own risk with those cars. :flex:

[carls02tafirehawk]

It's based out of Dallas, Tx. @ "Evan's Pontiac G.M.C." I know, cause I, at first, wanted a "Firehawk", in which carries the "WS-6 package" and the "WU-6 package". The dealership here in Alexandria, La. couldn't order one. I got, from them, a "Firehawk" broucher. I then learned that S.L.P. engineered that "Beast". The guy at S.L.P. told me to call "Evan's Pontiac & G.M.C., said they ordered one to put on the "show-room floor". I did, the salesman said it had been sold, then went on to tell me about the WS-7/Sevan Series. It does have "more" horsepower than the Firehawk, they gave me the "rear-wheel dyno sheet" with purchase. It made "355 rear-wheel horsepower". LS-1.com, under the "Firehawk" postings, back in 1999, said the Firehawk ran about a 13.20 in the quarter. I ran mine at the track, stock, and got a 13.13. I then ran it on the juice, 175 shot of NOS, and got a 11.99 @ 116 mph. Again that WAS stock except for the NOS, in which I did not squirt it on the 13.13 pass, I wanted to see how it compared to the Firehawk.
I then had extensive work done to it, T.P.I.S. built me a 415 ci LS1 and put my Vortech Super-charger on it. It made 652 hp @ 5700 rpms and at 3500 my torque started out right at 500 and went up, of course, and that was with "2 punds of boost"! T.P.I.S. only set it at 2 lbs., for it to be a "truly street-driven machine". It then got hungry for my 4L60E, from "Art Carr". Went trough 2 of them, then Art Carr shipped me a 4L80E. RP Motorsports in Marietta, Ga. put it in, 6 days later in cought fire, due to some "faulty work they done". I hope this helped.

[carls02tafirehawk]

...it ran a 13.13 and with :uzi: NOS, same day, got a 11.99 @ 116 mph. It's based out of Dallas, Tx. at Evans Pontiac & G.M.C. They also call it the Sevan Series, out of Evans.

[ninobrn99]

just appreciate that they got a ls1 and not some rice ;)

[IronBird]

who gives a rats ass?? its your car do as you please with it

:yup: :iagree:

[jerry caesar]

^^^agreed, but as far as clones go, they destroy the muscle car market.

Ive been loving the rice comments, I love how its considered a real reason not to like something now. No other reason, just that. lol Like its a justified answer....

[Double0me]

So I have a question...If I mod the WS6 and WS9 together can I have a WS69?

PLEASE!!!!!

[Hot Black Trans-Am]

Sure! I've seen some with the WS69 badges already though.

[Double0me]

SH**!!! Well I'm not doin it then. I'll just have to think harder.
