Only REAL one is WS6. Never heard of WS7, but the WS9, besides being factory for "WS9 : MODEL CONVERSION, FORMULA", is also a LS1 style ram air. I think it resembles the Firehawk, or is a clone of it, either or.

No, GM, once again being GM, created as new RPO, WS7 which was essentially the WS6 package without the 4-wheel disc brakes. Oddly enough, GM listed 4-Wheel Disc Brakes as a separate option J65...<</ I kept thinking there was a Ws7 from the 70s or 60s on a olds 442 or firebird. Was a steering box and sup upgrade

That clears things up for me. Mine has the WS9 RPO but it had the all wheel disk breaks. I just looked at my RPO codes again and mine does have the J65 RPO as well. Thaks DADDY&GIRL93TA. Mine is also a 93 TA, or firehawk. Not to sure prev owner removed all original interior and exterior but claims it had the badge in it when he bought it.
