Default Anyone seen this WS6 in Lewisville??

I'm looking at this WS6, and I would liked to know if anyone seen it racing around, burning the tires, or any other forms of abuse?

I think I may have seen that car going east bound on 3040 towards Vista Ridge Mall one afternoon last week. I didn't see any abuse but I didn't see it for that long either.

that tach only goes to 3k rpm, its so he can always make sure hes never keeping his baby at any destructive rpms'. and the 'shift light' pops orange when he violates the 3k rule and theres a 18v battery under the seat hooked to the drivers ***** that inflicts massive amounts of damage doing so.

sounds like a winner to me.

Yeah, I don't really like the monster tach, and I would probably take it off. The car only has 36k miles. The guy has only owned it for 4 months. Someone before him did all the mods to it...Borla exhause, cam, suspension. He had it dyno'd at RPM, and it's putting out 389.8rwhp.

He also said that they did a compression check and there was only 4% leak loss on the engine, which is pretty much like new. Now, I'm not too familiar with cars, but from my days of racing dirt bikes, I know that after only a few races, I was due for a new top end. So I'm assuming that good compression either means he hasn't ridden it hard, or there has been a recent top end put in the car.

So what do you guys think...If someone mods there car like that, do they probably ride it hard too? What are some ways to tell besides the obvious (brake dust, bold tires...)? It seems like buying a car is like having a one night stand...She can look good and seal tight, but you still don't know who else has ridden her.

think of it this way, these cars were built for one reason, that's abusing them. they aint going to be putting all that stuff on there and not race it. but a quick way to see how much they did burnouts is by looking on the underside of the rear wheel well, no one ever cleans that up.


and yeeeeeah about that ball shocking device, wonder if i could get that.....need alittle wake me up in the morningafternoonnighttime lol

You could kick that car right in the ***** and it would smile and ask, "Is that all you got, boy?!"

Good thinking. The previous owner did all the mods to the car and the present owner is the one who took it to RPM (present owner doesn't know previous owner).

What I was going to do is swing the car by RPM, see what they say, then take it to a Pontiac dealership and pay $80 for them to see if they can find something wrong with it (which usually they find something)
