Very nice. It was cool to watch the v6 evolve in front of us. Hopefully you will do the same with the ws6. Great car! Enjoy that LS1!

Thanks guys! Yeah, the Camaro was just a DD that I fixed up to be respectable at the track. 15.6 isn't too bad for a 200Hp 3300lb car. I still have the Camaro. My dad wanted it so I gave it to him. He wanted a DD because all he has to drive is this huge Club Wagon that he's tired of driving everyday.

As for the plans for the T/A. Engine wise, I know I want Headers, Exaust, Lid, 90mm TB and Ls6 intake. I want to put forged/chrome moly pushrods, get some beehive springs, roller rockers, a mild cam, mabye port and polish the heads or some new heads or something. I was going to do a sportline drop, put some rims on it, get some new shocks, panhard, TQ arm, Lca's, sfc's, swaybars, and I want to get a Carbon fiber driveshaft.

Appearance wise I'm not sure what to do with it. The rims I was thinking about are black with a chrome lip, but i'm not too sure how good that would look and I don't even know what rims I want. I was going to put a CETA on and after that I really don't know what to do. Pewter is much harder to make into a scheme than NBM.

Gawd, loved the rims on the Camaro - should have kept those. Maybe you can swap?

Seriously, nice move. Find out which shocks you have and which sway bars (32/19 or 35/22). This will determine what your first suspension mod should be. Shocks - get Konis, period, unless you already have them. SOME of the SLP cars did have them IIRC. If you have the 35/22 bars, you are set. If not, get a set of Strano bars.

What year is your WS6? 01-02s already have the LS6 intake so I am guessing yours is earlier? Get you some coated long tubes, ORY, port your TB, and get a lid - you already have a good cat back. You'll be amazed at the SOTP diff this will make. Get a shifter too if it's an M6, torque converter if A4.

Voila! 12 second street car with no compromises.

Nice ride, dude.

Yeah, its a 99 ws6 a4. I know I have the Ls1 intake and I'm not sure what swaybars I have. How do I find that out? Lol, I have a good cat back? It's a stocker! I want to put a borla on there. Yes, I still have the c6's. I'll give them a shot this week and take some pictures for the hell of it. And why Koni's?

wtf is ORy and wtf is Sotp?
