True WS6?
Hello,
My friend is interested in purchasing a used WS6 Trans Am. I wanted to know if there's any way to tell if the car is a true WS6 based on site only. What should I be looking for if there's no paperwork to substantiate the claim that it's a real WS6? Thanks and I look forward to your responses.
Sincerely,

Fred,
Thanks for responding. Where's that tag located? I might be checking the car out with a friend, and I want to be well informed to help him out. I know that all WS6's came with the ram air hood, special shocks, the 17" wheels and tires....anything else I missed? Thanks and I look forward to your response.

From the 4th Gen FAQ:
What ever happened to your 30th Z28? I really liked that car.

The 1998s and up WS6s have a completely new hood with 2 functional intakes right above the standard non functional nostrils
Freer flowing exhaust system
Higher rate front springs (360 lbs/in)
Variable rate rear springs (130-180 lbs/in)
Stiffer front and rear shocks
Harder bushings
Larger diameter front anti-sway bar (32mm)
Increased cooling
17 inch wheels with 275/40ZR/17 tires
