Default I need your eyes for a moment..

Okay I found this car on autotrader but I can't tell if it has a ram air hood, it says that it's a WS6. This is the only picture that they posted and I don't even know if it is still for sale but I'm checking on trans ams to replace my 00 z28.
Anyway can you guys tell me if this is a ram air hood or am I seeing things?

I was just trying to make sure, I didn't want to get there and find out that it was a normal flat hood. I don't want to buy a car without the nostril hood not sure what the difference are in the ws6 hood and a normal ram air if any? But anyway I don't want to spend the money on buying the hood and having it painted.

The Ws6 IS the "Ram Air"

I think it looks like the SLP H.O. hood. Something about the angle in the front and it doesn't look tall enough in the back. Good just be the crappy pic.

Lots of aftermarket hoods look different from certain angles.

That one photo makes it very hard to bet any real money on.

Just remember , just because it has that hood doesn't make it a real WS6, so don't let them try to make that a bargaining point. The only way to know for sure is to look for the WS6 RPO code on the sticker inside the drivers side door.

'01Hawk,

When I first saw the picture I thought it looked like a Firehawk based on the wheels and hood - doesn't look like a WS6 hood to me (not aggressive enough) - would be nice to see another picture or two!

well I didn't want to say this but after I found out that the seller was in Fort Worth I backed off of the car, it is in an area where the theft and crime is INSANE. I'm a small chick and I would be scared to go over there to look at it. I know it shallow but I'm fearful of putting myself in bad areas.
