ok, so heres a question. if you place a trans am with ram air against a camaro ss. they are the same car... correct? well if they are the same car.. why is it ive read the trans am comes ahead a couple 10ths of a second in the quarter and 0-60???

and the next day the camaro could come ahead. its all a wash. if your refering to that popular science article the formula ws6 one because its a bit lighter. the fasted ls1 fbody is the 1SC stripper moddel..

It all depends on who's driving it too.

There is a reason why people buy the Pontiac over the Chevy though. It's because they are so much faster with that Ram Air. It says so right on the lid. You don't see the SS advertising the ram air. Hell, Grand Am GT's are out of control because they are "Ram Air" too. I'm so stupid for buying a Chevy. Damn it.

If you put any year LS1 powered stock F-body with another stock LS1 F-body with the same transmission and it will be a driver's race. Z28, SS, Formula, Trans Am, Firehawk...it doesn't matter. None of them are faster enough then the others that they would be automatically able to overcome variables such as variances in build tolerances, traction, driver error, vehicle weight, weather conditions, ect. On paper the ram air cars might be slightly faster then the non-ram air cars due to minor induction and exhaust improvements but in a real world situation it's so minor that any LS1 F-body could easily bang one out with a better driver.

If you read the 1996 C&D article the SS whips up on the WS6. Same thing for the 12/97 MT article. Doesn't mean ****.

But the WS6 looks faster

and BETTER, in my humble opinion.

I had always heard the same, but I heard it was because of better aerodynamics. I have always like to Pontiacs better anyway though.

confused97

but the ss is better than the ws6 like the firehawk is better than the ss

Don't believe everything you read.

An F-Body, is an F-Body, is an F-Body. Many factors contribute which include: Driver, Weather, Weight, and anything else you can think of. Who cares about stock anyways.

How do you figure an SS is better than a WS6? They are both an option from the normal Z28 or Trans Am. I know they are all the same, I'm just trying to figure out how an SS is better. Unless of course you were joking.

Magazine racing? lol

Well this will kill me but look at it like this. The SS is from slp as where the ws6 comes from ASC and if you want to race both cars from slp pick the SS and the firehawk the ws6 is closer to the Camaro RS/SS package but since they don't sell that many the ws6 is technically in a league of its own. Base model for the camaro v8 camaro is the z28 vs. firebird. Then pontiac has a lot more of choices for the firebird, like the transam model,transam ws6 model, and the firehawk ws6 and before 00 the firehawk formula. So pontiac has more options where chevy is limited. BTW the t/a is much better leather.

Really? I fugured that. The seats in my 02 SS SUCK!!! I've never personally been in a WS6, but from what I can tell by the pictures the WS6 had a better seat as well as better leather. One question, do the side bolsters in the WS6 seats squeeze together???

What are you talking about RS/SS package?

You can compare the Z28 to the Formula.

Hmm, that's new to me

(not really cause not all SS's come with slp dual/dual like the firehawk, some come with the exhaust on the ws6's)

the ws6 is closer to the Camaro RS/SS package
(is it the 60's)??
RS anything on 4th gen camaro equal V6

but since they don't sell that many the ws6 is technically in a league of its own. Base model for the camaro v8 camaro is the z28 vs. firebird.
(generally firebird is considered V6, formula and trans am = z28

Then pontiac has a lot more of choices for the firebird, like the transam model,transam ws6 model, and the firehawk ws6(not considered a ws6) and before 00 the firehawk formula (also formula WS6).

So pontiac has more options where chevy is limited.

(firebird = camaro
firebird w/w68 sport apperance package = Camaro RS
Formula,Trans Am(many standard options like leahter,) = Z28(Z's have so many more combos in options like formula)
Formula ws6, Trans am ws6 = Camaro SS(minimal slp options)
Trans am Firehawk, Formula firehawk = Camaro SS(will all options that it can be added))

BTW the t/a is much better leather.
(id say just better seats)

dont mean to flame you or nothing just getting some things straight here.
