SS or WS6 ?

Yes, just out of curiousity which do u guys think is faster.....00 SS or 00 WS6 ? both with A4 and bone stock

Which one do u guys think will win on a 1/4 mile run??

They are the exact same thing. If anyone tells you one is faster than the other, they are talking out of their ass.

They are the same car except the SS exhaust is slightly better than the WS6 exhaust, but the WS6 ram-air is better than the SS's.

The WS6's are much much faster.:D ;)

Just go with whichever one you think looks better. In my opinion, nothing even comes close to looking as badass and a 98+ WS6.

Not to nitpick, but only the exhaust tips are different. The exhaust itself is the same, so there'd be no gains to be had with one car over another.

But, like you said, the WS6 Ram-Air is a lot better than the SS hood design. Probably good for an extra couple of HP at speed...............then again, the WS6 weighs a little more, haha. The age old debate never ends. :cool:

I agree, the WS6 has better Ram Air.....but how do you figure it weighs more? They are the same car.

WS6's TAs usually have more options because everything is standard equipment on them. They always seem to end up a little heavier. WS6 Formula is a whole nother ballgame.

WS6 OWNS SS!!!!!!!!!

No wait***

SS OWNS WS6!!!!!!!!!

Ahh they are both the same performance wise so it comes down to which one you think LOOKS like it owns the other. I think the WS6 looks cooler but then again I'm a little biased.

you can use the ws6's hood but the ss's is more for looks.... it might weigh more but the car is alot more comfy then the ss i wnet out to test drive so you knwo which one i bought........

the SS is sexier ;)

They make a WS6 style hood for the Camaro

:)

My '00 SS ran right with a '02 WS6 (mine is stock and he said his was). Not much difference in performance.

As for ram air, it doesn't actually do anything until over 65 mph. I think if it more as a CAI. IIRC, the WS6 also has a deeper filter box. The SS scoop is a bit far back to be functional as ram air, but I do like being able to see my scoop when driving.

Non performace related... I like the SS headlights. Let the WS6 get some years and miles on it and you'll have probs with those pop-up headlights. Stuff like that is where the WS6 gets heavy, it all adds up. I do like the rear fascia with the cut outs for the tail pipes on the WS6 though. I don't like the 4 hole look of the WS6 hood. It looks like Pontiac added it as an after thought. Like an engineer was sitting there and remembered," oh ya, we need to put a hood on the TA," at the last minute before production. The Firehawk hood looks much smoother and natural.

For me it boiled down to the best deal I could get. ;)

Who cares about sexy when you're behind the wheel of a roaring, flaired nostral demon from the darkest depths of hell? If you're trying to save money, go for the SS. Otherwise, WS6 is the only choice. ;)

Are you sure?

My buddy has a stock WS6 and my SS's stock exhaust is louder and has a bit more rumble to it than his WS6.

HAHAHAHAH well I guess im the freak for picking the sexy lady over the deamon from hell. :lol: :lol: :lol:

put a ws6 next to an SS and see which car the girl gets into and thats the car to pick ;). i liked em both so i had the g/f come shop with me and she walked upto the ws6 so i got it lol.

me and my buddy went to the drag strip a few weeks ago, he has a 2002 ws6 6 speed, with sub frame connectors, and air lid, and cut out exhaust, and i had a 2000 ss camaro 6 speed with just loudmouth exhaust, and we ran the exact same thing all night, 1/8 mile, --8.88, so ws6 are not faster, they are the same car

A WS6 is the same as a regular SS, start adding SLP options to the SS and then the Firehawk is the same. Transmission choice makes a big difference too.

Depends on the color of the car. But if they are the same color it would come to down to the driver.

they are going to run about the same. they are essentially the same car.

go for the WS6. cant beat the way those things look!! damn are they smooth!!!!
