I'm thinking of bidding on this bad-boy, but how much is it actually worth? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260019390646
I dont think thats a true WS6 car...nice the "custom hood" and "my personal 1999 pontiac trans am" . If it says its a WS6, then my bad...must have overlooked it. Just check and see if its a true WS6.
From the way he is decribing the car it doe snot sound like a real WS6.. BTW there is no performance difference between the WS6 and the regular TA.. In fact they are slower than the base LS-1 formula. the formula had the same HP at the wheels and was the lightest of the LS-1 F-bods..
The autos are almost as fast as the 6 speeds... and you don't have to worry about exploding the rear end when pounding gears. Trans-ams are so sexy, 98+ are hands down my favorite F-body car ever
most of the locals with exploding rears are running the crappy chevy auto woth a big stall. I would think a manual would be harder on the paper mache' they call a 10 bolt though. but it doesnt seem that way around here
true, I never thought of the impact when you bring a stall into the picture. What was GM thinking when they designed that car? Its basically a Ford V6 7.5" rear-end paired to a 300+ hp engine.
From what i've read, you need to swap the rear regardless of what trans you have if you're going to add any power. I love those cars, a black/black t-top M6 is something i've always wanted .....too bad the interior is ugly as sin tho.
I'll take a GM Auto over my 4r70w anytime I've rode in a few automatic fbods, and the automatic didn't seem bad at all?
i believe that the WS-6 only came in a 6-spd well at least that is what a friend of mine told me but i might be wrong
ah if i was ever going to buy an Fbody it would have to be an 02 Firebird Firehawk 335hp and thats the only one i would accept. My 2 cents.
