The RPO sticker list all the options on the car RPO = Regular Production Option
Example LS1 R7X MN6 Y82 W55....
You will be looking for the tell tale WS6 code if it's not there the car isn't a real WS6

Gotcha...so how do get ASC# and what mods should i do first? Since the car has pipes I won't touch that anytime soon.

I paid 20k for a bone 2002 auto WS6 with only 3,000 miles on it, it still smells like a new car and is in mint condition.

im guess by pipes you mean just a catback...

Lid
LT headers Y-pipe with a cutout..
ls6 intake and ported TB.. or if you want to do it right.. FAST 90/90
gears
stall if it is an a4..

then start working on getting your H/C package picked out

As long as the y pipe w/cutout keeps my emissions in tact because we have to have that done here in illinois.

WS7 is just a badge that means nothing No ofense to anyone that has one but IMO why advertise something that doesn'r exist.

I don't wish to sound like an Ass but I have a Factory Ram Air Hood and have never tried to pass my car off as a WS6. I have a better suspension Wheels and exhaust set up than a WS6 anyway. I choose to not misrepresent what my car is only becauseI feel it brings down the Hobby and other F-body owners.

ws7 was made for people that did not want to represent.. it is known that a ws7 is a clone.. that way you dont have to put a ws6 badge on it.. its just for looks...

I understand that
WS7 is a legitimate RPO but NOT for the 4th gens.
Too Me a true Clone would have a WS6 Badge which I wouldn't have a Problem with as long as the Seller doesn't misrepresent the car.
Obviously this kind of thing happens too many times though and like I said diminishes our Hobby.
People can do what they want,.... I'm just voicing my opinion.

but if they put a ws6 badge on there.... that would be misrepresenting it, because it isnt a clone.. the ws7, lets people know without asking.. has nothing to do with previous models.. hell i didnt even know there was a true ws7...

I wanna see someone get pissed that someone else has a WS6 badge on their clone lol. IMO, the WS6 is pointless unless u keep the car stock or very mildly modded, not touching any of the parts ASC put on there or really just want to tell everyone u have a WS6. Other than that... waste of money IMO.

your out of your mind.. even after you do a complete drag setup and drop a 408 in it, to both a regular ta and the ws6... the ws6 model is still faster......... what the hell are you on dude...?

i think its a waste of money too.. pay 2-3k less and buy a 500$ hood and a 50$ badge and put it on there if you want the appearance..

I thought the WS.7 was placed on modified cars the were not originally a WS.6.

yes...

are you talking engine modified or appearance modified?

usually if they have altered the appearance a lot, they have modified the engine along with it..
