What is a WS7?
here, but I've seen a few C5's that have Z-07 badges. What's that all about?

It is not a real RPO code, so even the cars mcnamara pontiac sold with the ws-7 sticker on the back, are not official ram air cars.
The story of the WS7 metal badges, goes back several years (maybe 2001-2002) to a member of ls1.com or here had them made, (I have one of these original ones) then several years later, somebody else is selling them.
I believe it is better to use the WS7 nameplate, than to fake your car as a WS6 when you just added a hood, and changed wheels.

Im not talking about you...
And yes, I have those badges....got them from emblempros.com. If someone is thinking about getting them contact him, dont listen to anyone who says the contrary or that think it is dumb. Dumb is giving so much relevance to this issue....dumb is calling DUMBASSES whoever have them.
I always say to take this frustration to GM, after all they were responsible to invent a WS6 "performance" package and made people think it is something incredibly important, so easy to mimic for half of what they charged the original owners. At one time there were less regular TAs produced than WS6....so maybe those are really a much rarer car!

I did some research on this about two years ago and it turns out when GM was going through a rough production time, a small dealership in some little town nobody had even heard of bought a bunch of ws6s and put a different badges on them to get them to sell and claimed they were a special produced car. so a handful of people bought these cars thinkin they were somethin special when really they were getting a stock ws6 with ws7 badges. It didnt last long because they got in a lot of trouble for it since then people just put the badges on because they wanna be different. Search google for it!

Most people who do the mods themselves refer to them as a WS9.

actually the ws7 IS a real car it was made while gm employees went on strike in 98 it was hard for dealers to get the ws6 so a dealer in florida called McNamara pontiac sent their cars out to scc for their ram air hood pakage which was just an scc hood and a k&n filter basically, they called this their ws7 and sold it as a dealer option, so yes it IS a real car but their are very few of them
98snakeeater has a good explanation for it in his FS add for his old WS7.

WS7 is just what regular guys with T/As call there car after they add a WS6 hood to there cars. They dont want to put WS6 badges on there car b/c its not really a WS6. Same thing with WS9, I wanna say thats the WS6 hood with the vents like the firehawk. So basically its just for guys who add a hood to there cars, want a badge, and dont want to call there car something that its not
