This is not a good topic because this is a simple question thats been asked to many times before.

If you checked out the stickies at the top you could answer your own question.

Since you asked already: 93-97 had LT1 motors rated at 275 hp. 98-02 had LS1 motors. The 98-00's are slightly less powerful than the 01 and 02's because the later models received an LS6 intake.

Also, WS6, SS Z28, etc. have nothing to do with how fast they are. If its an LS1, its an LS1, its an LS1, and thats all there is to it.

Technically yes, however the SS and WS6 models could be equipped with catbacks and lids from the factory(SLP anyways), as well as other stuff such as upgraded limited slips (torsen I think)

97 ls1 is a vette my fault but my biggest wonder is why everyone thinks because you do little suspension and ram air and slap a ws.6 badge on it why they always think because it is a ws.6 it is faster I know that gm says 305 t/a 320 ws.6 were talking hp here well that 15 horse with those big tires dont seem to hold up my question is which is faster trans am or the ws.6 option

longest setence i have read this week. you gotta be kidding, why bother arguing who is faster? its a 15hp or so difference with different drivers. who cares who is faster, why is it so important? btw are you like 15 or 16 yrs old?

They are the same, it will be a drivers race as too who wins. Faster at what? 1/4 mile? 1/8 mile? top speed? standing mile? road course? getting 14 year old boys to come over and check it out? if your interested in attracting young boys get the ws6.

Keep in mind that the 01 and 02's had a less aggresive cam for low end torque so their power ratings were within 5 to 10 horses more than the earlier LS1 motors...not much at all.

the fastest Fbody car is the 99 Formula WS6 with 6spd. No power anything no leather and maybe no air depending. 13.10 in the 1/4. I havent read into if GM went away from the formula having no power anything in 00-02 models. but none the less a base model formula with the ws6 slp package is the fastest.

You just said that you beat all these cars stock and then now you say you have the same mods. Just and FYI one person can drive a car to a 13.4 and another person can drive the same car the same day to a 14.0. Just cause you beat someone doesn't necassarily mean you have a faster car. It could mean you are a better driver. But your attitude is and you should not have the privelage to be on this board.
