I hate poser ss and ws6s

[1959ls1]

Nothing against getting an aftermarket ss or ws6 hood, but please dont go around saying you have an ss or ws6 and put fake badges on it if its really not one. What really ticks me off is guys with V6 camaros and firebirds that actually put these hoods and badges on their cars, I mean really guys wtf is this crap. I dont mind them because they look great, but please dont lie and put badges and stuff like that on your car if its not, if you aint got the scratch save up for that beyatch and please dont pose.:toetap:

[BWA2110]

I think it's quite funny when a V6 is running around as a poser. Its pretty cool pulling up next to one and seeing an SS with a single exhaust pipe coming out the back and having no V8 rumble. I always roll down the window and spark a very humorous conversation. They don't like it too much though when you point and laugh.

[derrinx]

Agreed on the badges part. People should not make there car out to be somehting it isn't. Like when you see Benzes with the AMG badges that arent real AMG's..come on...
Anyways as far as hood go poeple can put whatever they want...

[Ed Blown Vert]

I did it the other way. I took all my badges off. Twice I got mistaken for a V6 in a parking lot. ;)

I hate that sooo much.

Then you get a 16 year old in his 89 Acura going around saying he beat a WS6 when it was a v6.

Dont forget fake Lightnings...then when I roll by they act like Im not there.....bastards

[Wulfe13]

I put a WS7 badge on my car for that very reason... although my car is a real TA, not a firebird.

[preston1980]

Not trying to start an argument, but.......wait, ya I am!!

This thread topic is cool, but the original post is stupid.
It is not a kill story at all. It's an upgrades story.

Anyway.... Some people were not lucky enough to get the top of the line model car or truck, but they still want there automobile to look its best.

Just because you weren't born a stud, doesn't mean you shouldn't work out and better yourself.

As long as people don't lie and say it's a real ws6 or ss when asked, I say go ahead and put on all the badges and hoods and wheels on your ride, which you paid for with your money.

If I want to turn my escort into an escort GT, with a supra wing and 20 inch wheels, it's my buisness, so I'll do what I like, Got it?

[whitedevil]

To be honest, I would be a lil' iffy had I saw a v6 Firebird or Camaro with hood, badge, spoiler, ect. I see NOTHING wrong with putting ANY of that on a V8 F-body. preston1980 is right, and I agree :P

[ProwlerZ]

I see cars like this all the time around here, there's a red vert with an SS badge in the middle of the back, and they're upside down on the fenders. Not to mention he has the stock hood and exhaust. I felt the need to write a note to him explaining how the entire camaro community was disappointed in him.

On the flip, I've replaced my emblems with 67/69 emblems, and the car is about to get a 2nd set of mufflers (that'll equal 4), so I'm looking forward to an import pulling up next to me and revving...following by my flip of the dual cutouts and a lot of embarassment. Ah, and just to answer the question before it's asked, I just moved into a new townhouse and I'm already angering the retired neighbors, so I figure I'd rather quite the beast down then deal with disgruntled oldies again.

[KyleLs1]

i bought a base TA because that was all i could afford at the time.... i bought a GM WS6 hood, GM WS6 Wheels, replaced the shifter, intake, cat back.. so besides the suspension (which no one could tell the diff anyway, and i plan to do soon) the car is identical to a WS6... Fuckin rights i put a WS6 badge on it

when asked i say it is a clone... but who the fuck cares if it has the badge or not if it looks identical and performs identical?

[SSwt00SS]

I did it the other way. I took all my badges off. Twice I got mistaken for a V6 in a parking lot. ;)

you mean to tell us that you have a stroked, blown and sprayed v6, ED...:ughlaugh: j/k :bino:

[Maro99]

I have a ss hood and spoiler on my V6 but I also have RS badges on it im not trying to act like I have a real SS just like the look im also about to get hockey stripes with 3800 writing on it so everyone knows its a v6. But once I add my supercharger and a few other planned performance mods I will be about as fast as one. I actually want people to know its a V6 so when I get all my mods done people wont belive how fast my V6 is and will underestimate it.

[lrader99]

i agree with Ed...the only thing on my car is the Bird imprint in the liscense plate and my driver headlight says PONTIAC...thats it....it dont look like a Ram Air...dont sound like it...and def got rid of that poor excuse for downforce that GM called a spoiler...someone asked me if i had a V6 the other day...I did exactly what ProwlerZ said...flipped open the cutouts...turn off the TCS and left lots of smoke and rocks as gifts...

[Hot Black Trans-Am]

I was thinking of putting 3.4L V6 badges on mine for a little fun and putting the full plate in Borla and the stock 16" wheels on for awhile. The ricers around here wouldn't know what hit them!

[jmhvenom]

I like what ed did... Thats why I still have the stock Z28 exhaust on mine... looks like I am pretty stock cept for appearence... and then the cutout opens up.

i had an ss with a single exhaust pipe

Because that was the stock SS exhaust setup for the 1998 model year.

it doesn't look as bad on a camaro... but a single exh tip on a 98 WS6 looks stupid as hell

[MikeSomething]

Well, I have a Z28 w/ an SS hood on it. It's still a V8, just w/ out the LS6 intake. I only bought the hood to have functional ramair to my K&N FIPK Intake. The funniest thing I ever saw was a convertable '02 V6 Mustang w/ "SALEEN" on the back, LMAO! :ughlaugh:

[FasstChevys]

I like the guys that are rollin' next to me and think my WS6 is stock....because if you can't hear the charger, you certainly couldn't tell by looking at it....it's fun :cool:

[TAT MAN]

I agree if you have a 6 cyl. or a Z28 dont put SS badges on it.

But I get alot of crap from you guys about my hood.

[ferocity]

I used to think that any camaro without the z28 or ss badge just doesn't seem to have that mystique about it. Which i've changed my mind too. Now, as Ed has done, i've thought about removing the badges, and at times i even contimplate taking off the loudmouth exhuast and put a facotory exhaust with a cut-out so people don't hear me coming or so they don't try and race me all the time. But i just can't bring myself to take off the badges.

There was a time i wanted the SS hood, then the SS rear wing, but now im looking to get the Ultra-Z hood, though I already got the 35th Anniv. Sp. Ed. SS rims, but i wouldn't dare put on the SS badges, but don't think i didn't think about doing this early on when i got my camaro, but i don't think i've ever put on a fake badge.

I've seen people actually put a z29 emblem when they get a SS hood and rear wing, i think thats cool.

[DemonSpeed]

Ferocity I get exactly the opposite, nobody wants to race me cause of how my car looks and sounds (true duals). When it was stock I got challenged all the time. As for posers, that is one reason why I went with the slp hood instead of ws6 but if someone put everything on their car that ws6 or ss had then and only then I say they have a right to a badge.

[Hot Black Trans-Am]

:lmao: Oh boy, is the Z-29 badge as bad as that WS-7? Sounds like it's going back to that again!

[96badbird]

the worst ive ever seen is this guy at a show here in dallas. everyone approched this car in amazment because it was a BLACK 35th aniv. SS. interior stitching ,floor mats, exterior stripes, wheels..... if it came on the 35th aniv. ss he had it on his car. well turns out the SS stood for slow six. he had his hood popped at the show and people would walk by and do a double take cause they were expecting to see an ls1 not a 3800. it was pretty funny

[irishpenguin13]

truth is, its your car, not anybody elses. do what you want with the damned thing. if you want to put a gigantic lobster on it like Boston Lobster Feast, then do it! doesnt mean you work at boston lobster feast! if you see someones car like that, dont worry about it! just say "wow, thats stupid....but atleast its not mine". people buy stuff to own em, its for them, not for you. by the way, how is everyone today? doin good? awesome :drunk:

I am gonna buy a shitty 03 redfire V6 mustang daily driver, make it look just like an 03 cobra, and lose to everything I see. Hell, I might even take it to every dragstrip in NC and get the doors blown off it BY EVERYTHING.

While I am at, might as well get an awesome, HEAVY sound system, record your 03 revving, and just play that lame sh*t whenever I start a race with a damn POS four banger.

I don't have a problem with V8's converting to WS6 or SS options, because they can represent, V6's cannot. So please don't! As you make life difficult for all us V8 people who have to "fix" the problem you caused, after a ricer, bimmer etc. comes along and says WS6 or SS are slow, because they beat your V6 possing as a V8!:kick:

Now, regarding the badge issue. I blame Pontiac for this whole mess, as they could have called the V6's WS6 and V8's WS8. I know it makes too much sense, that is probably why they didn't do it!:brick: Also, we wouldn't have to deal with this whole WS7, WS9 etc. superiority issue.:moon:

Also, if people insist on utilizing any badge with a number higher than WS6, which the general public assumes, as logic would dictate is superior than WS6all I ask is be able to back it up! i.e. supercharged, NOS, LS2, LS6, LS7 etc.

Additionally, some people say, its your car do what you want to it. Well, that is true, of course. However, your not showing any respect or consideration to the "brotherhood" and remember, it goes both ways. So, don't expect or get upset, if you don't get any in return.

The Z28 and SS cars came with the same intake, earlier years they had they LS1, later years the ls6, didn't matter if it was a SS or not.

[ls1bandit]

i dont think its a big deal for a trans am to turn into a ws6, its almost the same car just different wheels/hood/exhaust, its not like it has a bigger cam or has a 6.0 vs a 5.7, its the same car just some stuff added on, now id have a problem with someone taking a v6 firechicken and putting ws6 badges and shit on it.

I get what you mean but you are wrong to say that no V6's can represent isnt right. There is a guy over at camarov6.com with a 3800 and I think it has 420 HP thats enough to beat most of the people here.

Damn, you are right, I didn't catch that.

[VChula]

Damn, you are right, I didn't catch that.

I don't think that is a true Firehawk hood.

It appears to be a SLP "Ram Air H.O." hood - which is not the same.

The Firehawk hood doesn't have that tall of a rise.

[CoreyDak3105]

wOw, I think Im an idiot that dint do much research on true Ws6's befor I bought one or thought i bought one, I feel like a real Freakin genius here. Is their any sure way to tell if it is a ws6, 01ws6guy4me said "WS6" RPO code on driver door, but i dont remember seeing one last night, do yall know of any other sure ways to check?:brick: :brick: :brick:

[KyleLs1]

if it doesn't say ws6 on the rpo list then it is not a ws6. the hood is a dead giveaway.. i don't know anyone who would buy an aftermarket hood to replace a true WS6 hood.

is your suspension stock? stock TA's have those crappy orange shocks and i think WS6 cars had upgraded ones as well.

[Hot Black Trans-Am]

just call your local pontiac service center and give them the last 8 of your vin and they can tell you for sure.

[walterchang]

I was once going to change my z28 into an SS. I currently have the SS hood on the car, then I realized something. I liked the car stock. It has the sports apperance package, it looks different than a standard Camaro, or SS. I like that, and I am proud of that fact. I just got a stock hood, and I am looking for the stock front gfx.
Honestly if your car is fast than that speaks for it self. Posers often do the worst clones, truly sickening.

[TAT MAN]

I took all the badges off my car, keep 'em guessing.

[Json27]

It's ok to fix your v-6 to make it look like the SS-WS6 or whatever. Sports car enthusiast will recogize what it is (real or fake)when they see or hear a car. No big deal either way.

[breakparts]

I AGREE JSON 27- I CAN ALWAYS TELL ITS NOT REAL-----JUST LIKE I CAN TELL A REAL WOMAN FROM A TRANSEXUAL INSTANTLY----just aint right and that keeps you wondering more what is wrong.......but i still hate how a v6 camaro looking like a v8 gets spanked by a ricer and the ricer then believes he can smoke an ls1.......then theyll ask if your supercharged cuz he just smoked a berger ss and the z28 should be slower/.......lol

[redbadss]

i got a 99 z28. i put a ss hood and spoiler and emblems all around on it. is that a bad thing? i can see where putting all that stuff on a v6 is annoying to all of you. but i have aftermarket exhaust and slp air lid. the only real difference between my car and a real ss is basically the suspension package. Am I right?

I say keep the SS badges off. Why give credit for your hard work to SLP? Not to mention badging it is poser. I think the rest if fine.

[redbadss]

yea true, eventually i might take them off. i kinda want to keep them on for a while(might make the $95 i spent on them worth it.) i am looking at other emblems and not sure if i should just have no emblems or put some some unique type emblem on it(ex. z29)

I don't really see a point of leaving the emblems off if you've already done the hood & wing. It's going to look like an SS at first sight anyways, so you might as well fool the crowd and finish the entire look w/ the emblems on it. It's all in fun anyways, plus it's not as distinctive of a difference as posing a Mustang GT as a Cobra...and not swapping to a Cobra motor. Just my .2

True but by putting the badges on you are lieing who's gonna ask someone I mean me or you might, but not the dumbass in the fixed up civic that's gonna run around telling everyone he blows the doors of ss camaro's. I think this is the main reason for the hate people will group all ss and ws6 together if they can so it's giving the ss and ws6 a bad name. It's your car but if you gonna do that you might as well be one of those ricers that put type R symbols on there stock honda.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with taking a Base Z28 or Trans-Am and badging it as an SS or WS6. It's been going on since the '60's my friend, and it doesn't give anyone a bad name. An LS1 Z28 can do the same thing an SS can. Pretty much besides the handling package it's virtually the same thing anyways from a performance stand point. It was even really popular for the Ford guys back in the '90's to convert their GT's to Cobra's...nothing wrong with that at all.

Oh...well that's an entirely different story. If a V6 driver wanted to put SS emblems on his Camaro that would be his choice. But I don't really see the point, as he wouldn't be able to back that badge up for sh*t.

[Hot Black Trans-Am]

I ran into a guy at a local car show this weekend. He had a CTS-V and a Lingenfelter performance badge under the hood so I asked him what package he had done. The look on his face was priceless, and he goes "uhhhhhhh, I have a skip shift eliminator from them" I took just about everything in me to not laugh. Seeing that was the only non stock thing on the whole car I was thinking why even put it on. Sorry a bit different, but still needless badging that makes people think there's more than there really is.

[JoshuaGrooms83]

I added my ram air hood on my TA (non ws6) but got all my regular badges and even the side molding. I kinda like my molding on it. But i can back mine hood up with a V8

This thread will never die!

For what it's worth, I've got an aftermarket SS spoiler, VFN Sunoco hood, and aftermarket chrome Z28 badges proudly displayed. I can't think of any reason to make a Z28 look like an SS anyway, even as a clone. The SS guys are "stuck" with their hoods (seriously, why change it anyway?) while the Z28 guys can opt for the Ultra Z, Sunoco, :uzi:Transformer, etc. And still let it be a Z28. Plus, the aftermarket spoiler options are abundant as well.

My advice for anybody wanting a Camaro that looks exactly like an SS is to save up a little extra over a Z28 and get one! Hell, you would save money in the long run in not having to buy, ship and paint those parts.

As for my feathered brothers and sisters, I have to admit that there is no aftermarket hood for you that looks as menacing and purposeful as the WS.6 hood. Pontiac struck gold with that design, pure and simple. I have to give you WS.7 folks a pass on that.

No, you can buy a Z28, mod it to look like an SS and still have 2-3K left. Trust me! SS's go for alot more than Z28's do! Fact!! Yeah, you can get lucky and find a killer deal, but chances are it is a P.O.S. !

Totally agree. I still see nothing wrong with badging. If the import and Mustang guys can do it, why can't we.

[DemonSpeed]

do you want to be like the mustang and import guys? :no:

[Hot Black Trans-Am]

I vote this the most disturbing post of the year. I got a chill down my spine reading it.

:Ohno:

Some of you are stretching it to the extreme.

[KyleLs1]

there is a big difference between sticking an SS badge on a ls1 camaro with an SS hood and spoiler/wheels etc and sticking a nissan skyline GTR badge on a stock v6 mustang

this whole thread is pointless...

I agree with you totally.

I am now unsubscribing.

[TooFastT/A]

^^Agreed! I'm not all for badging a car with GT-R emblems or anything like that, however...this topic is getting out of control....and since when is it compared to badging your SS, WS6 or WS7 or your Z28,29,51,82,etc....

Everyone likes what they like, not everyone is going to agree with what you do...its your car...do whatever the fuck you want to do to it.......and thats it!

...Unless your sportin spinner rims on your F-body, in which case, IMO, You should be shot where you stand!

I think maybe its time for a MOD to close this thread....before it starts getting into turning an f-body into a Jet!

Peace out

[JoshuaGrooms83]

I was just going through threads and came aross this one. I dont really look at the dates. That Poser Mustang GTR, OMFG!! You cant be that stupid. No way. That just blows my mind what guy said in the youtube clip. Turbo rotary headers 11 seconds!!?? I damn near pissed my pants!!
Anyway, gotta agree with the "its your car, do what you want" crowd. HOWEVER!! dont get upset when people look at you like you got a small child growing out of your forehead! Like a very important person i cant remember cause its been a while since ive been in school said, "Just cause you can do it, doesnt mean you should!"
One mod I dont get too much is why people take off the side moldings? I actually didnt notice i had a the driver side fender piece missing until about a month after I had the car. Dont get it.
