Checking out this 96 WS6 But I notice it has a rear trans am spoiler and rear Ls1 exhaust...Person is the original owner and says that was the way it came. Is this true?

Exhaust is normal, it's what came on my car too, as for the hatch/spolier... looks to me like it was swapped, mine has the lower wing.

 

Some did come with the high rise wing if I remember right, I've seen it off and on before.

 

look for the ws6 code on the car, that will tell you if its a real ws6 i thought ws6 formulas were ws9's though..but i ain't too smart about it.

 

WS6 Firebirds are WS6 as far as i know?
Firebirds/Formulas did not come with the highrise wing. (however Trans Ams did come with the low wing in the early years)
I didnt that exahuast is not original on LT1s either....I guess the WS6's was like that.

 

I was told at a local firebird club meeting that my car most liekly started life as a Formula. The reason is because a well trained eye, which I wasn't when I bought the car, said I have the lower spoiler, and no leather interior - which he said wasn't possible for a 96 Trans Am.

I love the car no less

 

that is all original parts. ws6 are ws6 no ws9 atleast i have never heard of one. the formula and trans am both could have the same spoiler and pipes.

i know because im stareing at an original brochure from a test drive a few years back.

 

if its a Formula WS6 its kinda rare thats cool

 

A WS6 is a WS6 whether it's a Formula or T/A from '96 - '00 when the WS6 was no longer offered on the Formulas.

The Wing looks like a modification though. No Formula ever came with the hi-rise wing, although some T/As had the lower spoilers.

The Exhaust is stock, I have the stock tips sitting on the wall in my garage from my car, and they look identical.

 

WS6 : PERFORMANCE PACKAGE, SPECIAL
WS9 : MODEL CONVERSION, FORMULA

So wouldn't it be a ws9 cuz its a model conversion???? somewhat im gettin confused though. lol

 

The WS9 and WS6 are two completely different things. WS9 is the rpo code for the model conversion of your car to a Formula. WS6 is the rpo code for the performance package that was an option for your car.


OK I ADMIT IT I WAS TOTALLY WRONG WITH MY ABOVE POST...
