There is no WS7 model (at least 4th gen). A WS7 is just a Trans Am with the ram air hood. Its an idea for not passing as a WS6 "poser". It was first introduced by a company named Suncoast Creations, they sold the hood and the badge. They still sell the hood but not the badge.

WS7's are made up.. Mostly Base Trans Ams that people have added the WS6 hood to, but don't want to call it a WS6 because it technically isn't one.

"...The WS6 option, available on the S/E's and Trans Ams, included 4-wheel disc brakes, P215/65R15 Goodyear Eagle GT radials with 15-inch (380 mm) cast aluminum wheels, stiffer springs, thicker front and rear sway bars, a high ratio 12.7:1 steering box, and limited slip rear differential. There was also the WS7 option, which was the same as the WS6, except for the lack of the 4-wheel disc brakes. In 1983, the Third Generation Trans Am was selected as the Daytona 500 Pace Car, and Pontiac offered a total of 2500 Daytona Pace Car replicas through their dealerships...."
