So I have a stock 05 V6, nothing special but 20 inch rims. I feel with most of you when you talk about the throttle response. However, I usually play with these imports cuz they seem to be the only ones who wanna have fun. I end up kicking their butts almost everytime and if I don't it is very close. Well, I was coming home from work one night and there were two cars behind me. One was some Nissan, and the other looked like the batmobile. Well it didn't click at the time of what it was. Anyways, this Nissan comes up right beside me at the stop light and revs his go-cart motor on up. So light my cigarette and blow his doors off. I happen to look in my rearview and I see two sets of lights...one being the nissan waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay behind me, and the other being this black car right behind me. I was doing about 90. Well he pulls up next to me and I see the nose of his car drop as he downshifted, so I punch it again....he ****ing dusted me hardcore, like no mercy. Well, when he pulled away, I saw his tag...WS6. Anyways, I found out he lives in the same complex as me and we now work together, kinda weird. Anyways, don't let yourself be embarassed as I was if you see the batmobile lurking. His was a 6spd, with longtubes and flowmaster duals.

I don't even bother street racing anymore...90% of the iiots out there i wouldn't waste gas on, they can go post on their Civic forum how they smoked a Mustang. The other 10% that want to race will mostly hand us our ass. Not just ls engines like a GTO, Camero SS or Trans-Am, there are plenty of imports that will hand us our ass also. A low 15-high 14 car isn't fast in a racing sense, and one with heavy-ass 20's weighing it down like sandbags definetly isn't fast...rotational weight kills performance, if you want performance anything bigger then 17 inch rim is a waste imo, and never ever get chrome rims!

I always thought the easy way to spot a WS6 or regular T/A was the massive ram air scoops in the hood? I think they look like a mean ass shark kinda thing...It just says "I eat Toyotas and Sh*T hondas"
At this point in time, I have dropped my rivalries with my GM and Mopar buddies...We must unite against Rice!
No... WS6 is the highest end model for the Firebird Trans Am, just like SS is to Camaro, as Cobra is to Mustang.
True, but isn't WS6 the chassis code for the 98-02 Firebirds also? If not i've always thought the wrong thing...thanks for the correction!
I had a Trans Am (1999) the WS6 is the ram air version of the Trans Am -- mine was the regular Trans Am rated at 310 hp as I recall. The WS6 version was rated something like 340 hp. It isn't the chassis code, the WS6 has a badge on the rear end, as well as bigger hood scoops for the ram air.

Ok guys, this info comes from my uncle in Alabama, the chevy tech guy. He says that WS6 only deonotes that the firebird has the WS6 suspension package. WS6 is suspension oriented, he said If anyone doesnt believe it, check the manufacture data codes that are posted from the factory in most camaros and firebirds, itll say wierd crap like LT1 engine, QS2 steering, WO4 wheels, and of course... WS6 suspension. The WS6 doeshave more HP, but the WS6 stands for suspension I think.
