Think about this real good, did he kind of have a weird smile and throw you a wink... Maybe he was saying nice ***.

I had an Auto Zone employee ask what year W5.6 I had. I told him politely that it was called a WS6, but mine wasn't a WS6. Being the car afficionato that he was, he immediately looked rejected and was no longer interested in my car. HA HA

My 20 year old daughter thinks my TA is a Corvette. That's why my 17 year old son is helping with the H/C swap.

What I plan on doing is when I get my LT1 completely set up as a clone WS6 - the hood cus its a warbird, if some guy says that "Hey nice WS6" and I said "Its not a WS6" he will seem disappointed and I will say its a WS7 lol. He will probably think that it is better.

I heard people talking about my car once when I was in a liquor store.
"Hey look at that viper out there!"

I was looking around for it while waiting in line? Until I realized it was my car they were talking about.

I let that one slide

I'll admit, the T/A w/ a Ws6 hood get's way more looks than most other F-bodies.
