I just bought a 2001 WS6 Vert and it doesn't have TC. I thought the WS6 package was fully loaded with all the goodies. Hell, my base 01 had TC.

BTW, what do these codes mean?

BT0 - FLT-BUDGET RENT-A-CAR
T78 - HEADLAMP CONTROL DELETE

And what is Code Y84 (the last code in the list). I'm not sure if it got cut off in the copy and paste, when the list was sent to me, or if I just don't have it.

TC was an option. It was not standard with any package.

BT0 sounds obvious. T78 is new to me, but I assume the headlights are controlled like Camaro headlights, by the sensor.

So this car, a WS6, was a Budget rent a car? lol

Red99T/A

I own a 99 WS6 without TC. All 4 of my current LS1 cars don't have it for that matter lol

demonspeed

iTrader: (7)

Yup. It was a fleet sale.

I'd also be happy without TCS -- it's so rudimentary in this era of vehicle that it's more trouble than it's worth, IMO. I love that my '02 doesn't have it!

AnotherWs6

iTrader: (17)

Traction control on a car like this was really just a worthless gimmick. Also happy that I don't have it. A lot of WS6's don't because as was pointed out, it was optional.

The TC system fitted to these cars are very primitive. Only time I leave mine on is when it could get icy.

Y84 was previously used as the RPO for the Trans Am GTA package (3rd gens). I did not have this RPO on my '00 WS6, but rather Y82 (Trans Am package) instead. I see that you don't have Y82.... perhaps this changed in '01?

Correct, RPO NW9.

Not on US spec'ed cars. Firebird/Trans Am did not get automatic headlights unless they were spec'ed for Canada. Hence the T78 "delete" option.

No TC on mine. What's the point.

RONIN LSX

iTrader: (44)

lol... I can't believe this a was rental car at one time and now all you can get is a cheesy 6 banger, these days.

Yeah, I don't care if it has the TC, I just thought all WS6 were fully loaded with the "good stuff". Too ad about the auto lights, that would have been a nice feature, but for some reason I think I read a "How To" write up on it.

Thanks guys!

Oh and BTW.. if you want to read a great horror story, of the day bought it, have a read...

My buddy and I were talking about the performance of my WS6 and I mentioned that I was not impressed. I then told him about the Budget Rent-a-Car RPO code (BT0) and he brought up a good point... the car may have a governor on it.

Does anyone know if the Fleet cars had governors put on them? Also, were these (Trans Am WS6) daily rental car or Executive cars? I ask because for a RENTAL 01, it has low miles on it.

RPM WS6

iTrader: (3)

Have you had the car long enough to put a fresh tank of gas through it? I ask because, if someone had been running 87 octane, then it's possible that the PCM has jumped to the low octane spark table due to detected knock with the 87. That would cause some loss of performance.

I don't think there was any sort of different [detuned] calibration for fleet service. I think it's more likely that the car may need to be caught up on maintenance (filters, tune-up related items, MAF cleaning, injectors may be dirty from crap fuel, etc.)

Rental cars also tend to get beaten and worn out. For example, we currently have a 2013 Malibu rental (wife's car is in for body work) with the 2.5L. My daily driver is a 2010 Malibu with the 2.4L, which makes ~30 less HP, ~30 less TQ, and weighs the same. But somehow, the '13 rental car (which already has almost 40k miles) feels noticeably slower, even though it should feel faster. I think it must have to do with the rough life that rentals tend to live.

My 2000 Ws6 has TC on it.... I hate it. I just shut it off, but then I get that stupid TCS off light.

So your car has automatic headlights? That's weird.

Totally agree with this post. Do some maintenance, and unplug the battery and let set for a bit so the PCM can retrim, with 93 octane (if max performance is the goal).

RONIN LSX

iTrader: (44)

When I picked it up, I ran slop in it, since it was such a long drive (5 hours), now that I have it home and running, I did put 1/2 a tank of the 93 in there with the 1/4 of slop. Once this runs through, I'll fill her with the 93.

Here's a question that I was just thinking about earlier today about gas... I haven't done the math on price yet, but as far as OCT:$ ratio, would it be more cost effective to run the slop (87/oct) and then add some octane booster or just run 93/oct?

But yeah, I'm sure it need a good tuneup too

RONIN LSX

iTrader: (44)

No, it doesn't. My RPO just has the code for some reason.

RONIN LSX

iTrader: (44)

Yeah, I'll unplug the BATT to reset it. Thanks for the tip!
