Has anyone ever seen a WS7

I caught up with this guys today who had a WS7. He said it was a V-6 with the ram air hood and mostly appearance mods? Anyone ever heard of this thing.

Yea, I guess you can call it that, but it didn't come from the factory like that. They want there car to be special to like the SS or WS.6 or even the V-tecsssssss lol j/k

there are actually some v6's that did come from the "factory" with a firehawk hood (not the ws6 hood). they also had some kind of exhaust and ground effects/body moldings. they say pro am on the side, not ws7, and are usually two toned. (pre 98's)

There is a sight on the net that sells WS7 emblems...not sure where I saw that at, but I have seen it before. I don't believe a WS7 exists from the factory, but I know there are some V6's with the ram air hood on them..kinda lame if you ask me, but what can ya do??

suncoastcreations.com make the WS.7 emblems. The emblems don't stand for any package or model. As far as see a WS.7 if you can get close enough I have them under the passenger rear taillight. Most folks think it's a v-6 option but the ricers, Z's and SS (Slow Stangs) find out otherwise. The hooker catback keeps the around town noise down but when i drop the hammer the titanium valves sing their song to 6700 rpm (with NOS 6500 limit) and you would have to be a true gearhead turd to not know that ain't no v-6.

Mecham had a black and gold bandit edition trans am, a couple of years back. I don't remember seeing WS7 badges on it though. There is a V6 bird with a Firehawk hood, and some other body mods here in town that says WS7 on it.

A WS7 is just a T/A with a Suncoast predator hood. That's all.

A few people from norcal ls1 wanted to distinguish themselves from a WS6... they all have T/A's though with the WS6 hood, not V6, pathetic.
