What's the difference between a WS6 LS1 and a regular TransAm LS1?

**justinmc978** · 04-11-2010, 05:05 PM

hood, air box, powersteering cooler(WS6 has, base T/A doesn't), slightly stiffer suspension, thicker sway bar, 17' wheels (up from 16')

The difference was only 15, really, 305 vs. 320. For '01 & '02, it was 310 & 325 HP. The extra 5 was from the new LS6 intake for the F-bodies, and yeah, there were no different internal engine parts. However, the factory did use a nice CAI hood and a little less restrictive muffler, so they had to claim something for the extra ~3k they charged.

So glad the hoods our our WS6s are a different hood, not the standard hood with a hood scoop tacked on, like Ford usually does!

You guys should experience the thrills that happen when you pull off that WS6 emblem and replace it with Firehawk decals!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

$3150 worth of factory parts that most people replace anyway (except maybe the Hood)

Marketing hype does wonders doesn't it?

Just look at the Mustang...throw Shelby's name on it and it's automatically worth and extra 20k more. It's amazing what people will pay for.
