TechCam97 you should add ASC to your list of who can make a WS6. ASC made the 4th Gen WS6. SLP made the Firehawk.

Unless, of course, the V8 was replaced by a V6 in this particular car, I believe you mean your neighbor has a FIREBIRD not a FIREBIRD TRANS AM.

I don't mean to come off as a dick and I know most preach forgiveness, but calling every Firebird a "Trans Am" is a huge pet peeve of mine. And, yes, I will politely correct every person who makes this mistake.

Say it with me people...

"Every Trans Am is a Firebird, but not every Firebird is a Trans Am."

Learn it.

Know it.

This has been a Pontiac Firebird Informational Service Announcement brought to you by Mumbles and your local LS1tech Forum. Thank you. Now please enjoy the rest of this wonderfully informational thread.
Congratulations sir, you are oficially in my signature!! hahaha

I believe SLP only converted over the WS6 LT1 cars, not LS1, if memory serves me correctly. This, also being the reason why, the stickers on top of the ram-air had Pontiac on them as well... but I could be wrong

I was caught spamming this site with deviant homosexual links.

Yes, it's true that I enjoy man love, but please don't judge me. You might feel the same if you had an *** like mine.

Pontiac didn't do a single one of the LS1 WS6s. They were all done by ASC.

Nope, not SLP either. '98-'02 WS6s were all done by ASC (American Sunroof Company).

The only LS1 Firebirds that SLP did were the Firehawks.

If it was an actualy Clone with replica or the exact parts, then no not at all. If its someone who is bone stock t/a then hell yes. I know there is no way of telling but at some shows its obvious. Or the idiots who badge their v6's as formulas or t/a's, that irritates me.

I'm glad me posting the obvious struck a nerve with someone other than myself.

And I'm honored that you thought it to be signature worthy.

LOL! Thanks, chevbon!

Haha yeah man!! Every time that someone mentions my car, they say something like, "Don't you drive the firebird?" I reply, "Yeah the Trans Am." That is usually followed by, "Aren't they the same thing?" You aren't the only one who gets sick of that conversation!!
