Default Real WS6?

I am not sure if I bought a real WS6 or not but does anyone know what is the VIN or RPO code to tell if it is real or not? Some things just don't add up...like on the hood the "ram air" sticker is only on the driver side. and ive been told that it "doesn't feel as fast as a ws6".

::shrugs:: I hope I didn't waste $19,500 on just a pretty Trans Am with 30k on the clock.

The RPO Code list on the drivers door should have WS6 on it. Since WS6 is the RPO Code.

The RPO Decal is located inside the Drivers door.
Heres what you should have
WS9 / Formula conversion Pkg (means you have a V8 Firebird)
Y82 / Trans Am Merchandise Pkg
WS6 / Performance and Handling Pkg

If that's your car in your sig pic, I can tell from the photo that your ram air hood is aftermarket. The nostrils are shaped slightly different than the factory hood. But the RPO sticker on your driver's door will end all doubt.
